The fourth part (paragraph 12- 13) is outspoken and praises Dayan River. 1. Dayan River-My Nanny is an autobiographical lyric poem (free verse). This style, one line at a time; Each line has no certain syllables and each paragraph has no certain number of lines; There are also poems that are not segmented. Rhyme and rhyme of free verse.

2. Dayan River-My Nanny is a lyric poem with a certain narrative. As far as the general trend of this poem is concerned, the author has not told the reader a complete or almost complete story about his wet nurse. He used these stories or pictures to pour out his deep affection for Dayan River. So this poem is a lyric poem, not a narrative poem.
3. The whole poem does not rhyme, and the number of sentences in each paragraph is different, but each paragraph echoes from beginning to end, and there is a strong internal connection between paragraphs; Poetry does not pursue rhyme and lines, but the proper use of parallelism makes many images complex and not chaotic, unified and harmonious. These make poetry smooth and simple, and contain rich contents. Poets are good at extracting typical images from ordinary life and writing strong rhythms with prose-like poems. Poetry is bold and unrestrained, with beautiful and smooth rhythm, which expresses the poet's feelings of going to the deep valley and perfectly embodies Ai Qing's free poetic style. Dayanhe is a child bride. Her name is the name of the village where she was born Her village is called Daye River, which is homophonic. Ai Qing's hometown, Jinhua, Zhejiang, has the same dialect as Dayan River. Daye River is about five miles from Fan Tianjiang Village, Ai Ting Anne's village. This village is very small. Dayanhe was born in poverty, and her suffering experience is exactly the same as that of Sister Xianglin. She doesn't even have a name, but uses the name of the village "Daye River" as her name. She was trafficked to Brahma River Village from childhood and became Jiang Zhongpi's child bride. After she gave birth to two children, her husband Jiang Zhongpi died, forced by life, and had to remarry to Jiang Zhengxing as his wife. She lived a hard and lonely life. When she died, she only had a simple coffin, a handful of paper money and ashes, and several straws covered the coffin, even a grave.
Dayanhe is kind, hardworking and strong, and is indeed a typical rural woman in old China. She suffered "the bullying of human life for more than forty years" and got "the misery of countless slaves", but she is kind-hearted, hardworking and simple, and has a strong character. Early in the morning, set up a stove fire and work hard for the meal; Late at night, sewing clothes torn by thorns. Sometimes it is necessary to wrap the "child's hand cut with a wooden knife" and strangle the "lice on her husband's shirt". Although there are many things to do, you still have to "hold me in your arms and touch me with your big palm." "She is full of hopes and ideals for life." She "smiles" in washing clothes and vegetables, "smiles" in feeding pigs and drying beans and wheat, and works hard in hardships, which shows her strong character. Her image is also the image of the working people connected with the land. They are all rooted in the earth and have the great qualities of workers.
The author wrote about Dayan River, but it is not limited to real people. Characters and events in literary and artistic works are not picked casually from life, nor copied mechanically from life, but extracted from rich life through the hard work of the author, creating artistic images higher than real life. In old China, there were thousands of people like Da Yanhe, and they can be seen everywhere in Qian Qian. However, the artistic image of Dayanhe is more concentrated, typical and ideal than millions of people like Dayanhe in Qian Qian's life. Therefore, when readers read the poem Dayan River-My Nanny, they not only feel true and cordial, but also receive profound aesthetic education.
