2. I don’t know that I can’t see it but once in spring. The flowers bloom everywhere and then I feel very lonely - Gu Cheng’s "Wheat Field"
Original poem:
You have looked at me in many places
I have seen you
You are very small
When you close your eyes you are very blue
I know you are standing in a book
There is a wooden board in front of you
I don’t know why
Spring is invisible only once
The flowers were in full bloom
They were blooming everywhere
I was very lonely afterwards
Appreciation: Gu Cheng likes flowers, and they often appear in his poems , wild flowers, small flowers, etc., but "wheat fields" are very rare. In the poem "Don't Walk There", a wheat field appears rarely, and it also serves as the background of flowers: "The lights/and the fresh flowers beside the wheat field/are shaking the curtain of dawn." In this poem titled "Wheat Field", "Wheat Field" does not appear once from beginning to end, but he still writes about his favorite flowers. This poem was written in 1990. At this time, Gu Cheng was already in New Zealand, and the "wheat field" was something in his memory, right? Some people have proposed to interpret this poem from metaphors, ambiguities, ambiguities and other rhetorical figures, but really everyone Does a poem have to have symbolic metaphors? Does every simple sentence necessarily have rich historical and cultural meanings hidden behind it? At least for Gu Cheng’s poems, this is not necessarily the best and closest reading to his poems. Gu Cheng writes with a sense of sadness. The wheat field was the object he found on which to project this sadness. He can also write about a drop of water and a piece of grass. It doesn't matter what you write as long as you can express the same sadness of the lonely land. He said in "Poetry Questions and Answers: The Spirituality of Eastern Art": "It is the sincerity to live anywhere, and all processes can become art. The result of this artistic process is not to produce works of art, but to produce a kind of interest and state of mind." Therefore, Gu Cheng's poetry is a natural expression of his entire temperament and state of mind.
