Shizhi "Believe in the Future"
During the Cultural Revolution, there was almost a blank period in the history of Chinese literature. However, folk creations grew tenaciously, and the poet Shizhi was undoubtedly one of the outstanding folk Writer. In his youth between 16 and 19 years old, Shizhi wrote more than 30 good works that set the tone for the times, including "Ocean Trilogy", "Fish Trilogy", and "Believe in the Future" based on the journey of a generation's soul. , these poems spread like wildfire and were widely praised among educated youths across the country. "Believe in the Future" cast a light of hope in people's hearts in that gloomy era. Although "the spider web mercilessly sealed up my stove", even though "the smoke of ashes sighs the sorrow of poverty", people still use "beautiful snowflakes" and "child's handwriting" to write "believe in the future", re-read it now Still exciting.
Shu Ting's "To the Oak"
Shu Ting's poems have bright and beautiful images, and rigorous and smooth thinking logic. In this respect, her poems are not "hazy". It's just that most poems use metaphors, partial or overall symbols, and rarely express confessions directly, so the images expressed have a certain degree of ambiguity.
"To the Oak" sings passionately and frankly about the poet's ideal personality. The oak tree and the kapok, standing side by side and affectionately facing each other in independent attitudes, can be said to be a group of brand-new characters in Chinese love poetry. Symbolic image.
The image of "oak" symbolizes the beauty of rigid men, while kapok with its "red flowers" obviously embodies a female personality with a new aesthetic temperament. She abandons the old-style feminine delicacy and beauty. It has a charming nature and is full of rich and vigorous life, which is exactly in line with the female independent and self-respecting personality ideal sung by the poet.
In terms of artistic expression, the poem adopts the lyrical method of inner monologue, which is convenient for expressing the poet's inner world candidly and cheerfully. At the same time, the image is constructed using an overall symbolic method (the whole poem uses the whole of oak and kapok. The image correspondingly symbolizes the independent personality and sincere love of both parties in love), which allows strong philosophical thoughts and ideas to be developed and poeticized in the friendly and sensible image. Therefore, this poem with a rich rational temperament makes people unable to feel it. There is no preaching meaning, but I am simply conquered by the rich and moving images.
Ai Qing's "I Love This Land"
1. Simple imagery condenses deep love
Image is artistic conception. "Land" and "sun" are the two dominant images in Ai Qing's poems. "Land" symbolizes the troubled motherland that gave birth to him and raised him. Therefore, the image of "land" embodies Ai Qing's deepest feelings for the motherland and its people. Love, the profound concern and indignation for the national crisis and the suffering of the people. We can see this from the title of the poem. Another example is "Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply..." These two true and simple poems tell the story of the poet. The eternal "land" complex deep in my heart. From this, we can easily conclude that Ai Qing's poems have a unique world of aesthetic imagery.
2. Pathetic verses reflect passionate emotions
As a lyrical art, poetry works need to constantly strengthen their own emotions in order to strike the heartstrings of readers for a long time. This poem echoes a melancholy tone, filled with deep sadness. "Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply..." The sentence is intertwined with melancholy and pathos, but this lyrical tone is the poet's sensitive soul's understanding of the reality of national suffering and the miserable life of the people. The response is a reflection of extremely passionate feelings.
It is self-evident that humans are not birds and beasts. This poem begins with "what if", which is the first level of reinforcement. Who doesn't know that the sound of birds is beautiful and crisp, but this poem is described as "hoarse", which is the second level of reinforcement. These two layers of reinforcement were not enough, so the objects of singing appeared one after another in the poem: land, river, wind, and dawn. What is particularly noteworthy is that the poet reached the point of exhaustiveness and heartiness when describing these objects, which fully reflects the artistic characteristics of this free-style poet. We know that the word "的" is mostly avoided or used sparingly when writing poetry. There is no need to talk about those folk songs. Even in free verse creation, many people are afraid that too many words "的" will be muddled and dilute the flavor of poetry. Ai Qing is different. He dares to use long sentences composed of a series of "的" characters to express lingering and deep feelings. He likes to add a large number of adjectives and modifiers in front of the object he describes to show the object's charm and style, forming a A special sense of three-dimensionality and sculpture is an important feature that distinguishes Ai Qing's free verse creation from other free verse writers (such as Tian Jian). "I Love This Land" is no exception. Just look at the many modifications that the poet specially added in front of the central words such as "land", "river", "wind" and "dawn", such as "sad and angry", "fierce" and "gentle". With words, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of the mystery. The above-mentioned long sentences describing landscapes such as land and rivers can be said to be the third level of reinforcement.
3. Strong contrast reflects persistent love
"If I were a bird", the whole poem begins with such an unexpected assumption, which makes the readers wonder, " What is the connection between the image of "bird" and the "land" that the author wants to praise? This is the suspense the author leaves us with at the beginning.
Just as the readers were impressed and attracted by the poet's continuous singing - the tenacious vitality, they did not expect that the poem suddenly took a big turn. After a dash, "I died" was highlighted, allowing the body to fertilize the land, and thus, life and death Finally, a strong contrast is formed, and what is consistent in this strong contrast and contrast is the "bird's" persistent love for the land. This is really where he was born, sang here, and was buried here, and will never change until death! At this point, the suspense above has been solved.
Finally, it needs to be pointed out that the "bird" in the poem refers to a general term, a first name, and a new artistic pursuit made by the poet when he has no one to rely on. The "hoarse throat" is specially shown in the poem. It is purely caused by the influence of the tragic atmosphere of the times on the poet in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. It is also an affectionate expression of the special temperament and personality of this "sad poet".
