Author: Xu Zhimo
I left quietly, just as I came gently;
I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky.
The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset;
Beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart.
Green grass on the soft mud, oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;
In the gentle waves of He Kanghe, I would like to be an aquatic plant!
The pool under the shade of the elm tree is not a clear spring.
It is the rainbow in the sky that is crushed by floating seaweed, precipitating a rainbow-like dream.
Looking for dreams? Support a long pole and swim back to a greener place on the grass.
Full of starlight, singing in the splendor of starlight.
But I can't play the piano, just a farewell flute;
Summer insects are also silent for me. Silence is Cambridge tonight.
A Brief Introduction to the Author of Farewell to Cambridge
Xu Zhimo (1896- 193 1), whose pen names are Nanhu and Yun Zhonghe, was born in Haining, Zhejiang. 192 1 began to write poetry. Known as the pillar of the Crescent Poetry School,1918-1922 studied at Clark University, Columbia University and Cambridge University in England. 1922 After returning to China, he successively served as Professor Peking University and Professor Tsinghua University.

On the poetry edition, Xu Zhimo and his crescent poets conducted a new poetry experiment together. /kloc-in the spring of 0/927, he founded New Moon with Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu and Wen Yiduo. Pushed the creation of Crescent Poetry School to a peak. 19311654381On October 9, 35-year-old Xu Zhimo was killed in a plane crash in the mountainous area of Jinan.
The days when I was studying at Cambridge University in England, especially deeply influenced Xu Zhimo's life. He called Cambridge his "spiritual hometown". The British civilization embodied in Cambridge intoxicated Xu Zhimo and gradually formed his dream of Cambridge.
1922, Xu zhimo returned to China. The reality of China under the warlord gradually shattered his ideal. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/928, he went to England again and wrote "Farewell to Cambridge" on the boat coming back from England on June 6.
A Basic Interpretation of A Farewell to Cambridge
Cambridge is the hometown of Xu Zhimo's spirit. It is natural to bid farewell to Cambridge in a hurry. Saying goodbye quietly and expressing endless attachment is a major feature of this poem. The golden willow by the river is like a veiled bride, and its bright shadow ripples the poet's heart lake; The green grass on the soft mud is swaying at the bottom of the water, which makes people enchanted-the poet would rather be a water plant and take root in the soft waves of Hekang River forever; The pool under the shade of elm trees, the rainbow in the sky, the dream on the ground, everything, were crushed in floating seaweed.
Although everything has been shattered, the poet is still looking for his dream with a long pole. In the depths of the grass, he would rather go home with a boat full of stars and singing. But in reality, the poet doesn't want to wake up the dream in his heart. Thousands of parting will only turn into a lingering flute in his heart and a silent summer bug in the night sky, saying goodbye quietly and leaving quietly without taking it away.
Appreciation of the Essence of Farewell to Cambridge
Farewell to Cambridge's melancholy is deeply hidden in the elegant and free expression. "I left gently, just as I came gently"-the lyric hero is like a flowing cloud, invisible, free and stretched. Cambridge in the hero's mind is also dreamlike, beautiful and fragile. The scenery and feelings of "Golden Willow", "Jasper" and "Jasper" used in poems are inseparable. "The golden willow by the lake is the bride in the sunset"-"The bride" is not only a scene, but also a lover image in my heart and an expression of old feelings in my heart-affection and scenery have become an organic whole. Between the golden willows and the green grass, I stubbornly looked for "."and left quietly. The scenery remains the same and the people are completely different. The poet bid farewell to Cambridge with his lover's lingering farewell mood and style, and wrote a kind of bitterness. It should be said that this poem is the poet's farewell to his ideal, affectionate and quiet, but also afraid of broken dreams. It subtly shows the poet's reason for "Cambridge"
Xu Zhimo's poems are simple, light, gentle and full of melancholy. He is good at combining atmosphere, emotion and scenes, and writing dreamy scenes is also full of dreamy artistic conception. Moreover, his feelings are repetitive, free to stretch, without the slightest affectation. Farewell to Cambridge is particularly soothing and pleasant to read, with a harmonious and elegant musical beauty.
