Dawn Image in Ai Qing's Poems

The image in Ai Qing's poem Dawn: The connotation of the image of dawn is a process of gradual enrichment, which is gradually enriched and deepened through Haizi's continuous exploration of the original land and the degeneration of true power, distance, sun and spring and autumn. Therefore, in all Haizi's poems that mention dawn, the image of dawn does not have the same meaning as typical poems, but basically has the same spirit. The image of "Dawn" in this paper has two basic spiritual levels: "the classic memory of the prodigal son" and "the breakthrough and dedication of the martyrs".

The most obvious thing about "Dawn" is its timeliness, which spans the chaos of night and day. As a stage before dawn, night has a dark direction. Haizi wrote in the first sentence of Dawn that "the deep water before dawn killed me". This direction of killing people and burying saints at night is a failure of human history and spirit. At the same time, "dawn" is chaotic, and it is a state of breaking out between the night and the sun. Haizi has repeatedly stressed that the dawn is reborn from chaos, bringing new hope: in Dawn (I), the chaos of dawn is clearly expressed as "my head of chaos", but in Dawn (II), it continues to show that dawn can reject chaos and wash away the past: "I clean the sky and the earth. From chaos to light, in fact, at the end of the night, Dawn assumed the role of "cleaning up the dead bodies in the night", and the process of "cleaning up" was not a gentle and natural process, but a passionate, purposeful and revolutionary breakthrough and dedication.
