I don't know which direction the wind is blowing.

Appreciation: I don't know where the wind blows, written in March, 1928, which can be said to be a prominent performance of the poet when he is hesitant, painful and confused. This poem seems to tell a love story. In the constant description of dreams, I groaned repeatedly, "I don't know which direction the wind blows." A person who has lost his way and is at a loss has to "wander in the light waves of dreams". In his dream, he was fascinated by the gentleness and talent of the woman he loved. However, for some reason, "she" went against her will and everything became "sad". Since then, "sad" life has broken people's hearts, and "melancholy" has replaced "glory" in dreams.

At the end of the poem, although the initial dream expressed infinite nostalgia, the "darkness" in the heart was hard to control. At present, the so-called "glory in dreams" is in the shadow of "darkness", but the poet is still wandering in "I don't know which direction the wind blows", and he still can't find the right answer and loses his way. After 1927, in the face of social upheaval, Xu Zhimo was full of melancholy, confusion and extreme contradictions. As a crescent moon, when writing this poem, I proposed "Don't ask which direction the wind blows". However, in the poem, he repeated: "I don't know where the wind blows." It can be seen that this poem is the revelation of his heart, the call of his spirit and the reflection of his life predicament.

The poem "I don't know where the wind blows" can be said to be Xu Zhimo's "label". As soon as this poem was published, the public knew it was the son of the sun. The whole poem has four sections, and each section has the same first three sentences. This deliberately arranged melody combination renders a "dream" atmosphere in the poem, and also adds a little "dream" state to the singer. People who are familiar with Xu's family tragedy may be able to capture some romantic stories. But it is always vague and diluted by the strong wind blowing from any direction, so people who appreciate it, like singers, are finally infected by this strong melody.

Xu Zhimo (1897 65438+1October 193165438+1October19), born in Shixia, Haining, Zhejiang. Formerly known as Zhang Yi, it was renamed Zhimo when studying in the UK. Xu Zhimo is a representative poet of Crescent School and a member of Crescent Poetry Society.

Xu Zhimo was an influential writer who was once active in China's literary world. His world outlook has no dominant ideology, or he is a "non-partisan poet" who transcends class. His thoughts, creative features and development trend all show that he is a bourgeois poet. The development and changes of his thoughts and the different situations before and after his creation are related to the social and historical characteristics at that time.

Xu Shi's poems are fresh and natural, harmonious in rhythm, novel in metaphor, rich in imagination, beautiful in artistic conception, elegant in thought, full of changes, pursuing regularity and splendor in artistic form, and having distinct artistic personality. His prose is also sui generis, and has achieved no less achievements than poetry. Among them, Self-Anatomy, Want to Fly, Cambridge as I Know It and Chatting in Yushan Residence are all masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

As a celebrity of that era, Xu Zhimo did everything an ordinary intellectual could do. While pursuing his happy life, he also thought deeply about the fate of the country. His marriage with Zhang Youyi was unfortunate at that time, and his faint feelings with Lin were sad. His marriage with Lu Xiaoman is warm and affectionate, but full of ups and downs.
