Appreciation of "Street Market in the Sky": In the clear blue night sky, street lights and stars complement each other, and it is difficult to tell which is the street light and which is the star. At the beginning of the poem, street lamps and stars are cleverly used as metaphors for each other. As the lights and stars recede into the distance, the readers are introduced into "the misty sky" and suddenly feel that heaven and earth are integrated. In this way, the second stanza naturally reminds us that "there must be beautiful markets" in the sky. Then, he further used his imagination to describe the magical scene of the sky market in detail. The items displayed here by Qijuqi "must be rare and rare in the world." But what are the treasures and curiosities? The poet did not elaborate, leaving it to the readers to ponder. In the bustling "Sky Street", the poet is obviously more concerned about the living conditions of the people here. Therefore, in the third and fourth stanzas of the poem, the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl wander around Tianjie holding lanterns to prove their happiness and freedom in life. Everyone knows that in the original myth, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl played a tragic story. One of them was to the east of the Tianhe River, and the other was to the west of the Tianhe River. There was only one "Magpie Bridge Meeting" every year; but in this poem, this one The couple's appearance has taken on a new look. They ride oxen across the Milky Way, travel through the streets, and live a free and happy life without restraint. This change reflects the poet's bold imagination and pursuit of fantasy beauty, and reflects his dissatisfaction and contempt for the ugly reality. What is thought-provoking is that the city in the sky is a magical illusion, but the poet describes his wishes as a living reality, and he writes so realistically. There is no room for doubt. The poem also repeatedly uses the affirmative word "dingran", which further expresses the poet's persistent pursuit of the ideal world. All this is permeated with the spirit of romanticism and fully demonstrates Guo Moruo's unique artistic personality.
Appreciation of "Quiet Night"
This poem is written quietly and elegantly, and the wording, sentence structure and organization of the lines are full of the flavor of classical poetry. This ethereal painting contains the poet's deep reverie. On a quiet night on a foreign seaside, there is the phantom of a shark that "drops beads on the moon." Isn't this a reflection of the poet's nostalgia for the motherland and the world's affairs?
The title of the poem is "Quiet Night", and most of the words in the poem are used to describe the quiet night scene. The first section of the poem depicts a very ordinary picture: the moonlight is faint, the pine forest outside the village is bathed in the moonlight; the sky is filled with white clouds and stars are dotted. These scenery are easy to see in people's daily life. Through the poem , readers seem to see the poet walking alone outside the house in the dead of night, casually looking at the faint moonlight, the hazy forest shadows under the moonlight, and looking up at the sparse stars leaking out of the clouds. If we follow this bland description of scenery and write it down, it will be just a good poem describing scenery at best. But at the beginning of the second stanza, the poet asks: "Where is the Tianhe?" This question makes the whole poem interesting. The realm of the book has been broadened and improved, bringing the reader's vision and mind into the vast universe. The author seems to want to lead the reader's thoughts to "go to the eight extremes" and "wander ten thousand miles", and seems to want the reader's eyes to see through the vast dark night and see the infinite depths of the starry night, but the following sentence "far away" "Sea Fog Blurred" brings back the reader's mind that has just been let go. The blurred sea fog can block people's sight, but it cannot block the imagination that runs wild. At this time, the flying heart couldn't stop, and had already thought of far, far away - "Afraid there will be sharks on the shore/dropping on the moon?" This sentence is excellent proof that the poet's imagination has indeed gone through that place. In the vast sea fog, imagine a "mermaid" standing on the shore, silently shedding strings of pearl tears at the moon... Is the "mermaid" crying with joy, or sad tears? Or is it endless longing? This gives Readers are left with endless aftertaste. This is poetry, this is Guo Moruo's poetry! This is imagination, this is Guo Moruo's imagination! Without the imagination in the next section, the scene in the previous article would be a dull, lifeless scene, but with the imagination in the latter section, It makes the common scenery become ethereal and beautiful. What is particularly commendable is that although there are differences between reality and imagination in the two stanzas of the poem, they both contain the word "quiet", and the atmosphere of the whole poem is harmonious and unified.
