"Stars" and "Spring Water" were written by Bing Xin under the influence of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds". In her own words, she collected some "fragmented thoughts" into a collection. Generally speaking, they roughly include three aspects.
The first is a celebration of maternal love and innocence. Bing Xin, the first famous female writer in the history of modern Chinese literature, became famous for promoting the "philosophy of love" as soon as she entered the literary world. And maternal love is the fundamental starting point of the "philosophy of love". She believes that maternal love is the source of all things and the fundamental driving force that drives the world toward light. In "Stars" and "Spring Water", she regards maternal love as the most noble and beautiful thing, and repeatedly praises it:
Mother!
The storm in the sky is coming,
The bird hides in its nest;
The storm in the heart is coming,
I Just hide in your arms.
The poet uses vivid metaphors to convey maternal love, and his writing is sincere and touching.
This kind of ode to maternal love plays a large part in "Stars" and "Spring Water". It can be said that it is the affectionate praise of maternal love that sets the deep and delicate emotional tone of these two works. Closely connected with the praise of maternal love is the cherishment of innocence, childlike interest, childlike heart and all new things:
Thousands of angels,
will rise up to sing the praises of children;
p>
Children!
His small body contains a great soul.
In the poet's eyes, the world full of innocence and childishness is the most beautiful world in the world.
The second is the worship and praise of nature. In Bing Xin's view, human beings come from nature and return to nature, and humans and nature should be in harmony:
We are all babies of nature,
lying in the cradle of the universe.
Bing Xin also integrates maternal love, innocence, and nature:
The Creator Zao
If in eternal life,
There is only one promise of bliss,
I sincerely ask:
“I am in my mother’s arms,
My mother is in the boat,
p>
The boat is in the moonlit sea”
This poem perfectly combines the praise of maternal love, the call for innocence, and the chanting of nature to create a perfect world. The most beautiful world, with sincere and deep feelings, fresh and elegant language, gives people endless aftertaste and enlightenment. It is one of the most beautiful chapters in Bing Xin's poems.
The third is thinking and understanding of life. We call this part of the poem "philosophical poetry". This type of poem is concise and meaningful:
Flowers in the corner,
When you admire your beauty alone,
The world becomes small.
In terms of art, "Stars" and "Spring Water" combine the strengths of Chinese classical poetry and Rabindranath Tagore's philosophical poems. They are good at capturing momentary inspiration and expressing inner feelings and thoughts in a few words. The form is short and meaningful. profound.
Especially in terms of language, it is fresh and elegant yet crystal clear, clear and clear yet has a long emotional charm, and has unique artistic charm
