I use it to find the light.
From-Gu Cheng: a generation
This little poem with only two lines shocked the whole poetry world after the publication of the third issue of 1980 "Stars". No matter who holds a positive or negative attitude towards this poem of Romon, it has been unanimously praised.
It is brand-new in aesthetic principle. It avoids the direct expression of emotion and abandons the real narration of the scene. It does not deliberately construct a complete artistic conception, but highlights an unusual pair of "black eyes" (a symbol of a generation's awakening) on a thick black background by metaphor. It seems that you can see a beam of white light coming out of a gap in the dark clouds. The whole poem is like a three-dimensional print.
"Night" and "light" form a sharp contrast between dark and bright colors, and "black eyes" are deformed intentions and permeated with strong emotional colors. This artistic expression has aroused readers' imagination, so the suffocating times appear on the screen of imagination, distorting the younger generation who grew up in absurd reality, and the tenacious spirit of seeking broke out from the potential buried in their hearts. This is a statue of a whole generation.
A set of simple intentions of "night-eyes-light" constitute an open space-time. ............................................................................................................................... It is a unique law of poetry that ....................... expresses infinity in finiteness and profundity in simplicity. The pioneers of the new poetry tide are pursuing the return of human nature and the return of poetry itself.
This little poem embodies a style of modern beauty. It breaks the traditional harmonious composition, creates a shocking artistic effect with a disharmonious image combination, and forces people to reflect on history.
This is a poem written by the poet Gu Cheng in the last century in April 1979. The name is Generation. Generation refers to people who have experienced the baptism of the Cultural Revolution. At that time, they almost wasted their whole youth on the Cultural Revolution. It was an almost dark time, and all the young people were lost. It is their responsibility to find the ideal way out, that is, the light mentioned in the poem. It can be understood that in the dark night, you can't see the light in your eyes, but your heart is full of longing for light, which is the only pillar for you to move forward in the dark. Obviously, this unparalleled courage can give a person great power to break through the darkness. Then, when that generation, thousands of people in Qian Qian are eager for the light, their power will be endless. This poem is not despair of darkness, but yearning for light, and it is a passionate declaration.
