spring
peony
Green flames are swaying on the grass,
He longs to hug you, flower.
Against the background of the earth, flowers bloom,
When the warm wind blows trouble or joy.
If you are awake, open the window,
Look at how beautiful this garden full of desire is.
Under the blue sky, fascinated by eternal mystery.
It's our 20-year-old closed body,
Like the song of a bird made of clay,
You're angry, but you have nowhere to go.
Oh, light, shadow, sound and color are all naked,
Pain, waiting for a new combination.

In Mu Dan's Spring, we read a different "spring": it is awakening, the first birth and rebirth, but it is also the temptation of desire and addiction; It is the joy of flying songs, but also the stagnant soil and closed body; It is burning, dispersion, resistance, and a new combination and new rebirth after being dispersed.
It is the natural spring, the youth of life, the budding of the poet's spring heart and the poetic generate, and the fusion of dawn, early spring and twenty-year-old youth. They are like the nakedness of light, shadow, sound and color and the ripples of senses and thoughts, and their new combination will be more beautiful and charming.
This poem shows "three beauties". Dynamic beauty: words such as flame, swaying, longing and hugging show the vitality of spring; Static beauty: green, earth, grass, flowers and other words are the eternal characteristics of spring; The beauty of opposition: the opposition between "awakening" and "confusion" is the opposition between the restless desire of adolescence and the contemplative image of the poet.
These constitute the lyric tone of poetry, which is profound, solid and full of modernity. At the same time, the poet expresses his fascination and expectation for a new life and his strong impulse-waking up/intoxicated, stagnation/flying, laying a foundation/getting rid of it-through vivid images related to "spring" (green/flame, embrace/resistance, land/flowers).
Spring is beautiful, but it is fleeting. In the face of beauty, life will be shorter. The only thing is to grow up in infatuation and see the hope of having a beautiful youth in expectation!

As younger brothers, Mu Dan and Jiang Yang have little in common. 1935 In September, when 18-year-old Nankai Middle School graduates entered the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University with great expectation, Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu had just arrived in Britain by cruise. Later, Cindy (Wang Xindi), who supported the "Nine Leaves Poetry School" with Mu Dan, Du and others, once appeared in the French literature class in Liang, Tsinghua University.
The poem Wandering written by Peony Zaohui 16 years old has been published in Nankai Middle School. But like many poets of that era, his real poetic life was not long, mainly concentrated in the decade of 1937- 1948, and 70% of his achievements were in Expedition, Mu Dan's Poems (1939- 1945) and Flag.
Mu Dan's writing peak basically coincides with the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. Roughly speaking, with a more comprehensive concept of modern poetry, he carved the experience and "rich and rich pain" of intellectuals in that era, which was initially praised and promoted to the peak of modern poets in China after the 1980s.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to well-known reasons, 32-year-old Mu Dan lost the possibility of continuing writing and devoted more energy to translation. For the next 20 years, he hardly wrote poetry. 1On August 22nd, 975, in a letter to Guo Baowei, a dancer interested in poetry writing, Mu Dan wrote: "I am close to poetry as if I were a monk ..."
However, it may be that the art of talking with young people about poetry rekindled his creative enthusiasm, or it may be fate. From/kloc-0 to June 1975, when he wrote Drama and Flying, to February 1977, when/kloc-0 died of a heart attack, in just over a year, the poet wrote nearly 30 poems in succession, forming another peak of his creative career.
