Appreciation of Orchids in Qiu Jin

Qiu Jin was engaged in writing before the Gengzi Incident, and he mostly expressed his personal grievances with five-character and seven-character poems and quatrains. Poems such as Mei and Orchid are already very talented. Eight poems in "A Little Student in Sports" praise Mulan and Qin Liangyu, and express her lofty ambition to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. The second part of "Guo □ Baixiang's Title Collection, that is, Concentrated Dugong Pavilion Rhyme" also expressed her ambition to make contributions to the frontier. During the period of the Gengzi Incident, the poet's mind of taking the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility has appeared, which indicates that she is about to break through the barriers and move towards revolution.

After the Gengzi Incident, especially after the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), the ideological content and artistic style of Qiu Jin's poems have changed significantly. Dedication to the revolution and seeking national liberation and women's liberation became the keynote of her poems. Most of the poems are full of patriotic passion, full of passion for saving the nation and rejuvenating the motherland. "Song of the Sword" says that "when I was a teenager, I was indifferent to success or failure, but I served my motherland with iron and blood", and "Rousseau wrote with Polish blood and fought for triumph" in "Martyr who hanged for arms", and so on, which is tantamount to the poet's oath of dedication to the revolution. He Xu and other girlfriends sang the ideal of women's liberation. She hopes that women can get rid of the stereotype of standing by and do their duty as citizens, take off their boudoir clothes and put on military uniforms, save the motherland from peril, start a heroic cause and create a "daughter civilization." In addition to five-character and seven-character poems and quatrains, the poems of this period also adopted long sentence style. The style of poetry also obviously presents two different characteristics. A belief with the main content of expressing revolutionary ideals and revolutionary victory is characterized by optimism, boldness and enthusiasm, although there are also sad sentences, such as the song of the sword, the song of autumn wind, the song of Pan Donghai, mourning for the martyr Wu, for Mr. Jiang Lushan, etc. Another kind of poetry focuses on criticizing reality, lamenting that the world is insensitive and unable to save the country, such as Feeling for Time and Things, Feeling for Me, and Gentleman in Cambodia. Although there are touching and energetic poems, they are based on tragic desolation.

Qiu Jin's ci works are roughly like his poems. In the early stage, I wrote more about the sadness in the boudoir, and in the later stage, I wrote more about the strong feelings of the revolution. [Man Jianghong] "Living in Beijing" expresses the feeling of awakening, about to break through the family and move towards revolution. Man Jiang Hong, Wang Hai Chao and Send Chen Yan 'an and Sun Duokun Home express and arouse people's hearts to create a new world.

Qiu Jin's revolutionary character and poetry have always been praised. Shao Yuanchong said: "Jianhu is a daughter of benevolence and righteousness with a clear sense of justice. She is immortal without words. However, in terms of words, Langli is high-profile, and there is also a trend of gradually going out of the building; " With three sighs, the syllables are clear, and Gong Sundaniang's sword dance shines brilliantly, so you can't stare at it. (Preface of Qiu Jin's Female Legacy)

In order to arouse the masses, Qiu Jin wrote vernacular Chinese, wrote lyrics and composed music. In view of the small number of female literati, she also created a simple and easy-to-understand tanci "Jingwei Poetry". The article describes the story that Huang Jurui and other women broke through the family shackles, went to Japan to study, joined the revolutionary party, finally overthrew the Qing government and established a * * * country. It reveals the oppression of women by feudal system and feudal ethics, and points out the way for women to seek their own liberation in the social revolution. Its theme has certain pioneering significance. There are 20 times in the catalogue of Jingwei Stone, and there are 6 times in existence.

Since Guangxu thirty-three years (1907), various collections of Qiu Jin's works have been published one after another, such as Poems of Qiu Jin, Legacy of Lady Autumn edited by Gong Baoquan, Legacy of Lady Autumn edited by Changsha Autumn Martyrs Memorial Hall, Poems of Lady Autumn edited by Qiushe, Legacy of Qiu Jin edited by Wang and Legacy of Lady Autumn edited by Wang. Among them, The Collection of Qiu Jin recorded 180 poems with 38 words. In recent years, Qiu Jin's lost poems in Tibet have been discovered again and again. See frontier of social science (198 1), Guo Changhai's Poems of Qiu Jin, etc. (Zhao)
