Appreciation of poetry. Black people talk about Rivers Hughes I know Rivers: I know they are as old as the world.

1. "River" is a highly concise image. We can understand it as a symbol of history. Black people's tracing back to the river is a tracing back to their own history and their ancestors and homes.

2. The rivers described by the poet are: the Euphrates River, because a splendid ancient civilization was born here; Congo River is the largest river in Africa. The Nile is the longest river in the world, and it also gave birth to splendid ancient civilization. Mississippi River, the largest river in North America, abolished slavery and liberated American slaves when Lincoln was president of the United States.

This sentence can be understood as black people's witness to the "river" (history), and the achievements of human civilization and culture are accumulated in the "soul" of black people. This poem is a declaration of pride issued by the author on behalf of all blacks; Black people are a race with a long tradition. This sentence appears twice before and after, and it should also echo in structure.

This poem jumps in artistic conception, but it has strict ideological logic. If we analyze poetry carefully. I seem to be able to judge such a thinking logic: I know the river-it is as old as ever, even older than human beings-I have developed and multiplied under the nurturing of the river, and the river is the witness of my existence-life has tortured me and educated me, and my mind and soul are as deep as the river.

(That's right)
