The Origin and Significance of Fantasy Meeting Poems

Meeting in Fantasy is a love fantasy sprouting in adolescence. This fantasy is sweet and secret. Because it is sweet, it should be hidden, and because of its hidden function, it is sweeter. Poetry conveys these two subtle things, which is quite intriguing. This poem was written by Wen Yiduo when he was studying in Tsinghua University. He is diligent in learning and strict with himself, especially disgusted with the hedonistic lifestyle prevalent among some younger brothers and sisters. The common romance and erotic events among those young students have nothing to do with this typical "oriental old fool" However, as a young man in his twenties, after all, he has physical and psychological characteristics that cannot be ignored. The interesting question is: What kind of twists and turns does that uncontrollable emotional impulse show in a traditional China that is always trying to restrain itself? Of course, the emotional needs of young people are very important, but these needs are often expressed in some special ways different from others. He may unconsciously cherish those short relaxation opportunities (like dreaming), and he is likely to use these precious opportunities to satisfy himself and release himself. In addition, restraint and repression in a rational sense also make his inner emotional energy gradually accumulate, and gradually have a special impact on people's behavior, so he is likely to become particularly sensitive, imaginative and emotional in some interpersonal details. We can also use the so-called relationship between "sweetness" and "invisibility" to sum up these characteristics: "Lao Han" is not devoid of emotion, but rational repression makes his imaginary emotion extraordinarily sweet and especially worth cherishing. The repression of reason urged him to conceal and cover up "sweetness" from time to time, and in this way, sweetness and concealment launched an endless struggle in his heart. Meeting in Fantasy vividly conveys these psychological characteristics. Poetry begins with "the sun goes down", which is certainly not accidental. "The sun has set" is a necessary condition for "fantasy meeting". As the sun sets, the curtain of the night gradually falls into the world of life caught by the real order. Morality, responsibility, rationality, even the obsession and diligence of cultural inheritance, and the social image from scholarly family are all wrapped in the chaotic night without color, hierarchy and advantages and disadvantages. The night devours and digests everything, which makes me closer to the real state, rippling with natural feelings and making life choices from my own emotional needs again. In a word, this is the best time to relax in life. So, just after the noise in Tsinghua University ended, Wen Yiduo, who temporarily got rid of the bondage of reason, released his adolescent feelings in a quiet student dormitory. The center of "gloomy and sour silence in the room" lies in "sadness" "Darkness" interrupted his tireless social activities, and "silence" made him feel isolated. In the silent night of the caged field, the desolation of a figure arises spontaneously. Yes, after all, he came from such a warm and harmonious family, but he was thrown into a distant northern country. The pain of his first life is beyond others' comprehension. After all, it is an inevitable social phenomenon that he has such a unique personality connotation and ideal life. In a sense, "sadness" is Wen Yiduo's main life experience as a modern poet in the traditional living environment. In that hard-working and tireless day, why not always feel the loneliness in the noise and the pain behind success? However, the bitterness of the day and the bitterness of the dead of night are completely different. People in the daytime are social people, group people, rational people and conscious people. His desolation and bitterness are more social, historical and rational. People in the middle of the night are individual people, emotional people, irrational people and unconscious people, and their feelings belong to individual emotional needs. Wen Yiduo, who is in the true state, has never been weak, and he doesn't need the comfort of a heterosexual partner. But under the oppression of consciousness, the emotional demand for the opposite sex becomes weak and "as if nothing had happened". When this adolescent emotion was just aroused, the poet was even at a loss, and it was difficult to express his true feelings for a while. Is he happy because of the sweetness of fantasy? Or are you sad because of sweet fantasies? The poet himself can't explain clearly. Perhaps this is really a "bittersweet evening". The splendor of dusk is often intoxicating and gives people beautiful enjoyment, but it is extremely short-lived. After dusk, it brings people a long night, which is a depressing and sad "dark day". Anyway, love in illusion comes slowly. In the "misty desert", a holy white cloud floated down, and the silver moonlight soaked the crane in a state of mourning. This is elegant and graceful ... It goes without saying that this is the incarnation of the opposite sex that Wen Yiduo dreamed of. The poet did not immediately conceive a living opposite sex but adopted this one. Then, with the further removal of the poet's consciousness, the subconscious factors appeared more widely. "Is that his elegant appearance?" Here, by overlapping with the image of the crane, the image of the opposite sex is completely revealed. Who is "he"? It is inconvenient for us to make more assumptions, but it is obviously a person in Wen Yiduo's life. They are usually not close or can't be close for some reason. Therefore, his (her) grace can only appear in this half-awake and half-dream. Then, the poet fell into his dreamland of love: "we" were silent and sat quietly, and never thought of intimacy and impurity. Occasionally, a collision of skirts arouses surging emotional waves in each other's hearts, so at this moment, our hearts begin silent communication and enter a rare state of harmony in the world. In the eyes of contemporary readers, this way of love is definitely too stupid and pedantic, but please don't forget that the traditional China people who are infiltrated by the ethical spirit regard this "silent tacit understanding" as the ideal realm of love. On the social and rational level, Wen Yiduo certainly hates the shackles of ethical codes, but his personal lifestyle is another matter, because he lives in the real China society after all, and the poet later accepted the arranged marriage arranged for him at home as proof. The last paragraph is about the disappearance of dreams. In the sweet exultation, the poet's consciousness was restarted, and the dream was shattered by the questioning of the state of consciousness. The darkness and silence of consciousness once again covered the poet's unconscious, and there was nothing in the empty world. But that sweet memory will not fade away easily. When the poet chews it, he feels that this dark night is more than sadness, more than silence. Everywhere is full of ferocious and growling, making people unable to live, and he has insomnia again. Wen Yiduo tossed and turned many times because of the terror in the dark, mostly because of his thorough observation and thinking of social life, and this time his insomnia was due to his unconscious impulse and personal emotional needs. This poem is relatively refined in form and belongs to one of the many explorations in the Red Candle Period. The first paragraph is sunny, quiet and affectionate, the second paragraph is desert, crane, zhe and Yao, the third paragraph is noisy, fashionable, like, forward, who is the fourth paragraph, go to sleep.
