-Paper boat appreciation
It is said that this poem was written by Grandma Bing Xin on a ship that continued to sail to the other side of the ocean after visiting Yokohama, Japan in 1923. Facing the magnificent sea, the poet couldn't help thinking of his dead mother, and folded a paper boat to carry his deep thoughts about his mother and flow to the world belonging to his mother.
What a heavy paper boat this is! What a strong feeling this is! But think about it. The sparkling waves and surging tides revived the poet's childlike innocence of loving the sea. The green sea water and flying seagulls make the poet have the kindness of nature, but all this can't keep the ordinary and great maternal love, leaving behind the intensification of missing; What is left is a regret that I failed to give my mother the love that belongs to her!
Isn't this telling us something?
Time flies, and the years are ruthless. As children, especially children who often rebel against their parents, shouldn't they cherish the time they spend with their parents in their lifetime, love them wholeheartedly, let them enjoy happiness and make their lives more valuable and meaningful? Don't always remind yourself: don't let love wait until it grows old and regret it for life?
So, love, eat, drink and be merry.

Paper boat appreciation
1923 In the early summer, Bing Xin graduated from yenching university. On August 17 of the same year, she went to study in the United States by mail ship Yorkshire from Shanghai. Arrive in Kobe, Japan on August 19, and visit Yokohama on August 2 1 day. Judging from the writing time, this poem was written by the poet on a seagoing ship that continued to sail to the other side of the ocean on the sixth day after his visit to Yokohama.
The sparkling waves and surging tides revived the poet's childlike innocence of loving the sea; Green sea water and flying seagulls make the poet close to nature again. During the ten days when she went to sea from Wusongkou, the three pillars of Bingxin's early philosophy of "love"-maternal love, childlike innocence and nature, only "childlike innocence" and "nature" revived at this time, while "maternal love" could not be approached because she was far away from her mother. Therefore, the poet especially misses his mother, and even gets sick because he misses her, and recovers because he sees her in his dream. This poem expresses the poet's deep affection for his mother.
The first verse of the poem begins with his childish behavior-folding paper into a boat, saying that he refused to abandon a piece of paper on a seagoing ship and kept folding it into a boat and throwing it into the sea. Seemingly dull quatrains pave the way for the outbreak of feelings. The second section describes the whereabouts of the paper boat thrown from the ship. "Some were blown into the window of the ship by the wind, and some were wet by the waves and stained on the bow." All these destinations are not in line with the poet's sincere wishes. She "always wants a person to flow only where I want him to go." To this end, she "is still not discouraged and folds every day." This shows the intensity and sincerity of her desire. As for where the paper boat is expected to flow, the poet did not make it clear in this section, which caused suspense and thought-provoking. The poet naturally understands that the paper boat cannot flow to his mother, so the third verse of the poem is innovative. The poet dreamed of seeing a white boat in his mother's dream. If this kind of imagination is still general, "don't wonder that he has no reason to dream" shows the strangeness of the poet's imagination. So, why not let mom be surprised by the dream of the boat? At the end of the poem, the poet pointed out that the imaginary paper boat that entered her mother's dream was folded by her tears. She prayed that the paper boat would bring her love for her mother and the sadness caused by being away from her mother to her side. This ending is the climax of the whole poem.
Missing my mother's feelings is abstract and easy to be vague. This poem is novel in conception, and the poet uses the technique of expressing emotion by supporting things, so the expression of feelings is vivid, concrete, implicit and profound. In addition, this poem has a long line, which is in line with the mood of missing mother.

drill out
backbone
The bright moon is like water, wandering under the tree-
Meditation.-meditation.
Pick up dead branches in meditation,
Generously flog oneself.
The shadow of the moon on the ground.
The whole world regards it as a dream,
This is a vague dream.
If it's not clear, it's too clear,
My friend,
The troubles of life begin now!
But we still have to cross this endless black sea.
My friend!
The world will not abandon you,
Why did you abandon the world?
Clouds of freedom,
It is as quiet as water.
Life is always a dream,
I also had a clear dream.
Throw away dead branches in meditation,
Take a leisurely look at your shadow on the ground and the moon.
"The bright moon is like water, wandering under the tree-"
First, the gradual introduction of the moon conforms to the writing techniques of literati since ancient times. In people's minds, the scene of the author looking at the moon under the mottled shadows can't help but emerge.
"Generously whip your own shadow on the earth and the moon."
This sentence makes people feel like a close-up of a movie. In the lens, the author's shadow is in the moonlight. In the moonlight, the author stamped his foot slowly (let's find the real word ~ make do with it ~ heh ~) and looked at his shadow on the ground, lost in thought-thinking about life.
"The whole world regards it as a dream,
This is a vague dream.
If it's not clear, it's too clear,
My friend,
The troubles of life begin now! "
This sentence should be the author's thinking and reflection on some things he has experienced (it can be related to the background at that time, our history is good ~)
"But you have to cross the endless Black Sea.
My friend!
The world will not abandon you,
Why did you abandon the world? "
If the author expressed some confusion and pessimism in the previous sentence, then in this passage, we can deeply feel that the author has gradually got rid of the ocean of confusion and pessimism, become strong, encourage himself, or become positive and optimistic about something.
"Freedom like a cloud,
It is as quiet as water. "
This sentence is a bit ethereal. Think of a sentence once said by Confucius: "Ill-gotten wealth is as expensive as floating clouds to me." Life is like a dream, so why bother about trifles? Why bother about the world? The next sentence points out the author's point of view-
"Life is a dream,
I also had a clear dream. "
I don't know where I read a sentence, the content is probably like this: in fact, we are all empty free bodies, and then we came into this world and became tangible creatures-people. Life is just that we stay in this body, finish one thing at a time, and then, in our sleep, leave.
So, how to treat life correctly? Actually, it's very simple. I want to achieve everything in people.
"Losing dead branches in meditation,
Take a leisurely look at your shadow on the ground and the moon. "
Gradually wake up from deep thought, and the author's mood is no longer heavy.
After reading this story, I admire her courage and regret that she lost her legs. I admire her for saving the little girl regardless of her own safety. She would rather lose her legs than let others lose their legs and lives. After all, it is still a small life, so Jingjing's spirit of self-sacrifice is admirable. I'm very touched, and I'm determined to learn from her brilliant spirit of being brave and self-sacrificing in the future.
