Stadwater
Modern · Wen Yiduo
This is a ditch of hopeless stagnant water.
The breeze cannot blow any ripples.
It is better to throw away more scraps and scraps,
just throw your leftovers.
Maybe the copper will turn green into jade,
A few peach blossoms will be embroidered on the iron can;
Let the grease weave a layer of silk,
The mold steamed up some clouds for him.
Let the stagnant water ferment into a ditch of green wine,
full of pearl-like white foam;
The laughter of small beads turns into big beads,
p>
He was bitten by a mosquito that stole wine.
Such a ditch of hopeless stagnant water,
can only be said to be somewhat vivid.
If the frog cannot bear the loneliness,
The stagnant water will sing again.
This is a ditch of hopeless stagnant water.
This is by no means a place for beauty.
It is better to let ugliness reclaim it.
Look What a world he created.
"Dead Water" is a poem written by the modern poet Wen Yiduo. Through the multi-angle and multi-level composition of "semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China", it exposes and satirizes the corrupt old society and expresses Resentment towards the ruling environment at that time and deep feelings of patriotism. Each stanza of this poem rhymes with clear rhythm and sonorous rhymes when read. The shape is square and neat, forming a beautiful balance and symmetry. Pay attention to the color sense of the language to form a suggestive picture with different beauty and ugliness.
"Dead Water" pays attention to rhetoric, and strives to use rich and exquisite words without repetition. For example, the verbs used in the following phrases are completely different: "green becomes emerald", "rust makes a few peach blossoms", "weaves a layer of Luoqi", "steams out some clouds", "ferments into a ditch of green wine", etc. . After writing this, it concluded: This stagnant water "can only boast of being somewhat vivid." But the "brightness" here is only added to the color and luster. Next, he expressed the "sound" of stagnant water. The sound is also very unique, including "laughter" - "little beads laugh and turn into big beads"; and "singing" - "if the frog can't stand the loneliness, then the stagnant water will sing." What a terrible deathly silence.
"Dead Water" is also a representative work of new metrical poetry, and its style is extremely strict. Judging from the appearance, each sentence has nine characters and each stanza has four sentences, which are arranged very neatly. From the perspective of internal rhythm, each sentence is composed of four beats. Due to the high degree of harmony and consistency of the internal rhythm, coupled with the strict two-line rhyme, and the sound effect of one rhyme for each stanza, the rhythm of the whole poem is very beautiful.
