Haizi's Pursuit of Poetry

As a great poet, Haizi's spiritual world is very contradictory. Reality and ideal, matter and spirit present a state of disharmony and opposition in his poems. This talented poet, in his desperate search, flashed a series of intelligent lightning from time to time, crossed the heavy door of the soul, revealing a series of strange colors. And who would have thought that Haizi should shoulder such a heavy secret door! The pursuit of absolute ideal made Haizi pay a heavy price.

In the pain of wisdom, he wants to escape, face the earthly life and embrace the earthly world. "From tomorrow on, be a happy person/feed horses, cut firewood, travel around the world/from tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables" and think about earthly life. However, the poet is contradictory, and his maverick artist temperament can never be changed. He said, "I have a house facing the sea, and the flowers are blooming in spring." In his heart, he is so eager to face the sea, where the spring is beautiful. Here, it can be understood as Haizi's absolute ideal and a spiritual pursuit of dedication to poetry. In a large number of Haizi's poems, we can read the unique word "Mai", which is a masterpiece created by the cooperation of heaven and earth in poetry. As an image, "wheat" gives us endless enlightenment, and a series of images such as "home", "land", "sun" and "sea" connect the word. In the poem "Facing the sea, spring blossoms", the sea is obviously entrusted with Haizi's ideal. The sea is vast and simple, great and clear, and all kinds of shining ideals can soar freely on it. The sea, time and time again, gave Haizi confidence, strength and broad space for metaphysical thinking. Facing the sea is actually facing the ideal. It is painful for a poet to live and burn himself in the form of poetry. So Haizi hopes to return to earthly life. "From tomorrow on, I will write to every relative/tell them my happiness/what the lightning of happiness told me/I will tell everyone." Let friends and relatives share the great happiness they enjoy in the process of thinking, and let everyone share it. However, can everyone read Haizi? Haizi hopes to integrate himself into this world and enjoy the happiness of this world. However, he found that it was impossible for him to blend in with the world of mortals. He silently blessed others: "Stranger, I also bless you/May your future be bright/May your lover finally get married/May you be happy in the world". And himself, "I only want to face the sea and spring blossoms." The poet finds that he can only choose this way of life in his poems, stick to his last spiritual home, shoulder the dark door and penetrate the light into the iron cage of the soul.

Haizi often has great pain in extreme thinking. When he felt empty about the meaning of existence, he chose to commit suicide, leaving us with a series of heavy thoughts. And this poem "Facing the sea, spring blossoms" is always on the other side of the sea, smiling at us.
