Appreciation of Xu Zhimo's poem Hai Yun

Original poem: Xu Zhimo

Haiyun

one

"Girl, single girls,

Why do you want to stay?

The seaside at dusk? ——

Girl, go home, girl! "

"No, I'm not going home,

I love the night wind: "—

On the beach, in the twilight,

There was a girl who sent-

Wander, wander.

.

two

"Girl, send the girl out,

Why are you hesitating?

In this desolate sea?

Girl, go home, girl! "

"Oh no; You listen to me sing,

Sea, I sing, you come here: "-

Under the starlight, in the cool wind,

Gently swinging a girl's voiceless voice-

Sing high, sing low.

.

three

"Girl, bold girl!

There was a shady day,

There was an evil storm in an instant,-

Girl, go home, girl! "

"Oh no; Watch me dance in the air,

Learn from seagulls. Is it Haibo: "-

At night, on the beach,

Spinning a slim figure-

Dance, dance.

.

four

"Listen, the anger of the sea,

Go home, girl!

Look, the sea is fluctuating like a wild animal.

Girl, go home, girl! "

"Oh no; Haibo, he won't swallow me,

I like the turbulence of the sea! "

In the tides, in the waves,

Ah, a flustered girl is in Harmo.

Waste of time, waste of time.

.

five

"Girl, where, girl?

Where's your loud voice?

Where is your graceful figure?

Where, ah, brave girl? "

The night swallowed the starlight,

There is no light at this seaside;

The tide swallowed up the beach, and there were no girls on the beach.

There are no more girls!

Make an appreciative comment

Some people think that the theme of Haiyun is elegant intimidation. If intimidation or warning is necessary, it is only a warning to credulous people, a warning to waverers, and a warning to idealists who are not strong enough to try to become trendsetters. Perhaps we can draw a positive meaning from it: Haiyun objectively reminds people not to be too romantic and unrealistic, not to be credulous, not to see only the romantic and idealistic side of life, not to see the ruthless and dangerous side of life, not to see the contrast of realistic forces, but to act only by enthusiasm and willfulness.

"Hai Yun" smacks of "sad drama". Xu Zhimo seems a little indifferent to life, because he wrote a tragedy with such a poetic topic as "Haiyun", which is somewhat ironic. He seems to want to ridicule those who pursue the sea cloud but don't know the danger of the sea. Here, his irresponsibility to the sea has been helpless, but after all, he raised the danger of the sea, while others are still there to cherish the sea with their lives, which is his sorrow. Xu Zhimo may want to say, are you going to exercise in the wind and waves? But big waves are irresponsible. Does the poet regret, lament and deny the girl's behavior in his poems, or praise and affirm it?

If it is a simple compliment, it is obviously wrong. Hai Yun is obviously saturated with the tone of tragedy and the atmosphere of lamentation. However, if it is only regret and negation, and it is asserted that the poet holds a negative attitude towards the girl's courage and pursuit of ideals, then it is obviously wrong to interpret Hai Yun as a satire. The girl image is the early Xu Zhimo himself, Xu Zhimo with romantic ideals. This very poetic life, he is naturally nostalgic.

The person who called the girl home in Hai Yun was also Xu Zhimo, who later wanted to be a mediocre person. In this way, the question and answer in the poem is between two Xu Zhimo, one is Xu Zhimo who pursues romantic ideals, and the other is Xu Zhimo who is tired, frustrated and desperate in the pursuit, so he wants to be a mediocre person. The girl who deviates from her family, despises ordinary happiness and falls in love with the sea like a madman is Xu Zhimo; It is Xu Zhimo who calls the girl back to a warm and comfortable home again and again, fearing the wind and rain and lamenting her fate. This is Xu Zhimo talking to himself, fighting with himself.

After all, Xu Zhimo's attitude towards the girl in Hai Yun is actually somewhat confused, confused and contradictory. He regrets and praises; Sigh and praise; There are both negation and affirmation, but from the tone and atmosphere of the whole poem, it focuses on regret in confusion, lament in confusion and negation in contradiction. After all, "Hai Yun" is a romantic song of China bourgeoisie, and also a sad song of romantic hipsters.
