When I opened Bing Xin's poetry collection "Stars in Spring Water", I was a little surprised that the poems in this book were so short. Although the artistic conception of these poems is far from that of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the philosophy contained in them is easy to understand and thought-provoking.
One of the poems touched me very much:
Green Bud said to the youth, "Develop yourself!"
Pale flowers, and the young man said, "contribute yourself!" " "
The crimson fruit said to the youth, "sacrifice yourself!" "
This little poem is not graceful, let alone bold, but tells young people a profound truth with common things in life: buds, flowers and fruits: cherish youth and contribute value. The metaphor is also very appropriate: the bud should keep growing, so it is told to develop itself; Flowers give people fragrance and wither in autumn, so let young people sacrifice themselves, and the fruit is for others to eat, so let young people sacrifice themselves. One poem with three metaphors and one is really the charm of this new poem.
The poems in "Stars in Spring Water" need to be carefully selected and savored. The poems in it are short. If you swallow all the lines, not only will the whole book be "swallowed" in a few minutes, but the true meaning of this poem will never be realized.
Bing Xin's collection of poems, like the stars in the sky, is small and shiny; Love, like a clear spring, flows slowly into the distance, touching the hearts of generations of children.
