For example, "the night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light." Gu Cheng's poems often use symbolism. For example, just that sentence, "night" symbolizes the shadow of that generation's soul, "eye" symbolizes the generation's eyes of exploration and longing for bright eyes, while "I" in the poem symbolizes a generation.
At the same time, we can also see that synaesthesia rhetoric often appears in Gu Cheng's poems: the voice is covered with scratches from the glacier, where the voice is invisible, but the voice written by the poet is a tangible body covered with scars from the scratches of the glacier, and the silent auditory image is manifested as a tangible visual image, that is, vision and hearing are interlinked.
As for Haizi, to be honest, he is one of my favorite modern poets, and I like his poem Facing the Sea, Spring is Blooming. I remember writing it two months before he committed suicide. Most of his poems are full of profound meanings. To read his poems, we must understand his life and his inner feelings. Let's look at the following poem:
parachute tower
I was in the north on a lonely morning
One morning in the north.
Miss someone
I am a draft of some poems.
You are a poem.
I want to take all the red azaleas from the mountain.
Walk into the quiet skydiving tower
I am clearly aware that
There is a big river ahead.
And vast northern grasslands.
Beauty always fascinates me.
Someone has already
Start shining on me
On that lonely and crowded little platform
You shine on my way like a star.
On this mountain
Why do I only see this one?
Beautiful cuckoo?
I only saw this one.
It's really red and beautiful.
I'm on this night
I live on a hillside.
Fangzili
There are all springs in front of me.
Or the sound of water in a stream
Quiet skydiving tower
Magic house, you open the door.
Let me stay in this happy door forever.
The rolling peaks in the north
Distant
There are only nine trees.
First of all, Haizi used poetic language. In fact, he compared the floor to a "skydiving tower". If he really jumps under his body, shouldn't he have the right to experience the thrill of skydiving?
Secondly, in the poem, "Quiet skydiving tower/enchanted house, you open the door", and the house, door and skydiving tower are used together, which also shows the metaphorical function of the latter. It can be seen from here that Haizi has always had the idea of suicide.
Let's start with surprise I don't know him very well, but his poems also use symbolism:
Bats in the twilight
In Goya's paintings, they give artists
Brought nightmares. They fly up and down.
Suddenly left and right; They were whispering to each other.
But don't wake the artist.
Inexplicable happiness sprang up in them.
On the human face. These birds are like birds
It's not a bird, it's darkness.
Combining with darkness is like a seed that never blooms.
Like a desperate soul
Blind, ferocious, guided by will
Sometimes it hangs upside down on a branch.
Like a piece of dead leaves, it is sad.
In other stories, they are
Live in a damp cave
When the sun sets, it's time for them to travel.
Eat, give birth, and disappear.
They will force a sleepwalker to join them.
They will take the torch from him and put it out.
They will also drive away the invading wolves.
Let it fall into the valley and have nothing to say.
At night, if children stay up late.
It must be a bat.
Escaped the painful eyes of the night watchman
Come to the neighborhood and tell him his fate.
One, two, three bats
Without property and home, how can you give it to others?
Bring happiness? The moon's profit and loss gradually disappeared out of their sight.
Feathers. They're ugly and nameless.
Their heart of stone has never attracted me.
Until one summer night
When I passed my old home, I saw a group of children playing.
See more bats flying over their heads.
The evening light cast a shadow in the alley.
Gold-plated bats.
They were dancing with peeling paint outside the street gate.
But keep silent about fate
Among the ancient things, there is a bat
This is a kind of nostalgia. Their casual posture
Retained me and made me stay for a long time.
In that downtown area, in the alley where I grew up.
In any case, as long as you know the writing background of this poem and the poet's situation at that time, you can understand the content of the poem after careful analysis.
