Beautiful history
Reading through the whole poem, we can find that the poet tells us a touching love story in a sad style: late spring and March, the east wind is warm and catkins are flying. In a beautiful town in the south of the Yangtze River, a woman is waiting for the return of her sweetheart. Her heart is like a lonely town, with no east wind and no catkins. She couldn't hear the footsteps of the right person in Qingshi Street, so her mind was lazy, her hair was incomplete and her heart was empty. I, a wanderer, came here and heard the pounding of dada's hooves. She waited for a long time, but I didn't come in. She was very upset and smiled like a lotus flower in late summer. The whole poem is less than 100 words, but the story twists and turns with the emotional changes of the protagonist. First, there is a long expectation, then there is a surprise at the sound of hooves, finally there is disappointment, and then there is endless waiting. What I said is endless, which can be described as lingering and intriguing.
Beautiful words
The poet made full use of positive rhetoric and negative rhetoric in his poems, and created a lovely and sad image of thinking of women.
The four negative sentences of "don't come", "don't fly", "don't ring" and "don't expose" are opposite every two lines, forming an echo repetition, which not only makes the rhyme of the whole poem harmonious, but also makes the lyric meaning of the whole poem profound and touching. "You" in the poem has a lotus-like appearance and Meng Jiangnv's persistence. Her heart is like a rock and her body is like jade. Her heart is not open to anyone except the right person. Although it is the spring of March, the willow blossoms are bright and the east wind is blowing on her face, in her heart and eyes, the east wind doesn't come, the catkins in March don't fly, the spring curtain is silent, and her heart is like a window sash, as if she had seen a person suffering from lovesickness, with incomplete clouds and withered face. The metaphor in the poem is even more beautiful: "The appearance in the season is like the opening and falling of lotus flowers", "Your heart is like an isolated city/like a bluestone street in the morning and evening" and "Your heart is a closed small window sash". The first sentence not only describes the beauty of you, but also describes the haggard that you can't wait. The last two sentences use "city" and "window sash" to describe "heart", which is novel and vivid; Decorate it twice with the overlapping word "small" to make the artistic conception appear light, gentle and feminine; Put the two dynamic words "until evening" and "to cover up tightly" in this sentence upside down at the end of the sentence. Swaying, it also shows the mentality of thinking about women more elegantly.
Beautiful structure
The poem "Wrong" has 9 lines and 96 words, which is not long, but the artistic skills used are amazing. Structurally, there are two lines: vertical line and horizontal line. The obvious vertical line is from the big scene to the small scene, with distinct layers. The first two sentences take the vast south of the Yangtze River as the background, then move the camera to the small town, then to the streets, curtains and window sashes, and finally fall on the sound of hooves breaking the silence ahead, thus pushing the poem to a climax. Judging from the horizontal line, the first two sentences should be the end. It is precisely because "I" passed the woman's residence and didn't go in, which made her look like a lotus. The last two sentences should be "I am not a passer-by, I am a passer-by/I am a beautiful mistake", and the poet used another inversion sentence here. This arrangement leads to uneven structure, which glows in disharmony.
Beautiful language
Another touching feature of this poem is the beauty of language, especially the expression "beautiful mistake", which seems contradictory at first glance, but you will know its mystery if you look closely. "Dada's Horseshoe" blew the soul that Sifu hoped to meet again, so it was beautiful. However, the hooves didn't stop because of her expectation. "I am not a returnee, I am a passer-by", so this is a mistake of homesick women, which shows the psychological change process of lovesick women. In addition, the language beauty of this poem is also reflected in the image beauty. Images of China's classical poems are used in the poem, such as "Lotus catkins", "Horseshoe" and "Spring Curtain". In particular, the image of "East Wind" in Li Shangyin's Untitled reflects the poet's China nature, which means that "it was a long time before I met her, but after we parted, it took longer, and the east wind has risen and a hundred flowers are blooming".
Yang Mu said in The Legend of Zheng Chouyu, "Zheng Chouyu is a poet in China. He wrote Chinese characters with accurate image, beautiful voice and absolute modernization". It can be said that it is right.
Beautiful theme
If we only locate the theme of this poem on thinking about the persistent love of women looking forward to the return of their sweetheart. It's too superficial. In fact, can the "I" in the poem be understood as a homeless wanderer? People in Taiwan Province Province in that turbulent era had a wandering mind. They are just "passers-by" on the island of Taiwan Province Province, hoping to return to their hometown and reunite with their relatives one day. However, due to political reasons, their wishes could not be realized, resulting in a heavy sense of loss and melancholy. Today, Taiwan independence forces on the island are still trying their best to obstruct the "three links" in an attempt to separate Taiwan Province from the motherland. If their plot succeeds, it will leave eternal sorrow for the Chinese nation. This "mistake" will never be beautiful again.
