What are the characteristics of Ye Zhi's When You Are Old?

Tension: In this poem, the poet breaks through his personal misfortune, turns his sadness into a gentle poetic soul, creates a beautiful artistic world in a gentle and tortuous way, and transcends life and destiny. The whole poem embodies the full beauty of tension.

2. Imaginary imagination: Between the lines of the poem, we can see that the poet boldly used the artistic technique of imaginary imagination, and the poet developed a rich imagination in the poem, imagining that young lovers are entering their twilight years, white-haired and sleepy, and the soft and dazzling luster in their eyes no longer exists.

3. Symbol: Different people have different versions of the last two sentences of the poem, but they always can't understand them. I'm afraid the true meaning of a poem is accurate only by the poet himself. In line with the emotion and writing logic of the whole poem, free translation instead of literal translation in the last two sentences of the poem may better reflect the poet's emotion.

Character achievement:

1. As a representative of late symbolism, Ye Zhi's works are controversial in modernity. By analyzing the lyrical tradition of romanticism in Ye Zhi's works, combining the development of symbolism and the application of mask theory, we can see that Ye Zhi is constantly pursuing the modernity of self-innovation.

2. The development of symbolism in Ye Zhi itself reflects the transition from romanticism to modernism. The unity of opposites between Ye Zhi's romantic tradition and modernity. Romantic lyricism is his essence, and the development of symbolism and the application of mask theory reflect the poet's spirit of constant self-denial and innovation.

3. Ye Zhi's uniqueness not only makes his poems stand out among the "anti-lyric" modern poems represented by Eliot, but also maintains a strong vitality after postmodernism took over the banner of modernism.
