This poem was written in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, which concentrated Ai Qing's sincere love for the land. Between the smallness and brevity of individual life and the vastness and eternity of life on the earth, the poet imagines himself as a "bird" in order to express his sincere and deep love for the land, flying tirelessly around the motherland forever, singing endlessly for the motherland, not only singing the suffering and indignation of the earth, but also singing the joy and hope of the earth; Even if you die, you should melt your whole body into the land of your motherland to show your love for the land. The whole poem has a strong and restrained feeling and a deep and melancholy tone.
The remarkable feature of this poem is its short length and ingenious conception. Land is a vast image, and poets choose it as the object to express their feelings and pour out their feelings. Its realm is extremely broad and its images are extremely rich. The poet's feelings are multi-angle and multi-level, and the poet's imagination and poetic thinking are infinitely free and broad. However, he did not lengthen the length of the poem and let the feelings of the poem wander. But in the line 10, the poet's profound love for the land is concentrated, and the best artistic effect is achieved.
Writing technique: The poet does not write from the real place, but from the imaginary place. He imagines himself as a "bird" and develops the artistic realm of the whole poem through the relationship between the bird and the land, making the whole structure of the whole poem appear ingenious and natural, which makes people unaware. This is the tragic atmosphere of the times at that time (the early days of the Anti-Japanese War), the poet's special personality temperament (Ai Qing called himself a "sad poet") and the poet's special expression needs. , and the aesthetic image produced by the combination of * * *. It greatly enhances and strengthens the aesthetic expression of images-from which we can not only feel the breath of the times, the poet's personality and temperament, but also feel that the poet's love for the land is so persistent, loyal and tenacious.
Finally, it needs to be pointed out that the "bird" in the poem is a general term, a * * * name, and a new artistic pursuit made by the poet without relying on it. The poem shows a kind of "hoarse throat" in particular, which is purely caused by the tragic atmosphere in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and is also the affectionate expression of the special temperament and personality of this "sad poet".
Extended data:
If I were a bird.
I love this land.
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...
