What is the beauty of the poem Farewell to Cambridge?

Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry. The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure. The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere. It shows in detail the poet's love for Cambridge, his longing for his past life, and his helpless sadness at present, which is the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.

Farewell to Cambridge is a lyric poem about scenery, which expresses three emotions: nostalgia, farewell and disillusionment.

A Farewell to Cambridge fully embodies the "three beauties" of the Crescent Poetry School, namely, the beauty of painting, architecture and music. The beauty of music is what Xu Zhimo emphasizes most. The first sentence and the last sentence are repetitive, which strengthens the sense of rhythm, and the words overlap, such as "quiet", "gentle" and "silence". And every poem is rhymed, because the feelings have changed, so it is not a rhyme in the end. Then there is the tone scale, "I left softly", the three-character scale, the one-character scale and the two-character scale, which are in line with Xu Zhimo's lively and active character, and then rhyme. The so-called architectural beauty, one or three rows first, two or four rows second, empty strewn at random, the building has changed; In addition, one or three sentences are short and two or four sentences are long, showing visual beauty. Music is auditory, painting is visual, visual beauty and auditory beauty are integrated, and it will feel good to read. Let's talk about the beauty of painting, that is, the beauty of words, such as "Golden Willow", "Soft Wave", "Xinghui", "Soft Clay" and "Soft", which are colorful, dynamic and feminine.

Combining the three, Xu Zhimo pursues "seeking change in the whole and seeking difference in the difference", showing crescent-like characteristics and personality, which can be summarized as: the artistic conception of softness with resentment, fresh and elegant style.

This poem shows the poet's superb artistic skills. The poet combines specific scenery with imagination to form a vivid artistic image of poetry, and skillfully blends atmosphere, feelings and scenes into the artistic conception to achieve the feelings and scenes in the scene. The structure of the poem is rigorous and neat. The whole poem consists of 7 sections, each with 4 lines, forming two parallel steps; 1 and 3 lines are slightly shorter, and 2 and 4 lines are slightly longer, ranging from 6 to 8 words per line. It seems that the poet intends to combine the forms of metrical poetry and free verse, making it a new form of poetry, full of nationalization and modern architectural beauty. The language of the poem is fresh and beautiful, the rhythm is gentle and euphemistic, harmonious and natural. With the ups and downs of emotions, it is like a melodious board, light and tactfully, touching the readers' heartstrings.

The poet Wen Yiduo advocated the beauty of music, painting and architecture in modern poetry in the 1920s. Farewell to Cambridge can be said to have three beauties, which can be called the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.
