Why are Xu Zhimo's poems good?

Xu Zhimo's poetry creation has obviously different ideological tendencies in the early and late stages. Early poetry was mainly devoted to the pursuit of ideals, praising love and nature, and objectively had anti-feudal ideological significance. Zhimo's poems pay attention to real life, and many poems express protests against inhuman reality. Poems such as Scenes of Peace, Covered with Several Layers of Oily Paper, Strange World, Calling for What You deserve reveal the tragedy of life and satirize and accuse the behaviors and phenomena that violate human nature. Untitled expresses the desire to break through the darkness and pursue the ideal. This is a cowardly world expresses dissatisfaction with the dark reality that there is no room for love. Most of the poems in the collection Jade Night are love poems. These love poems describe the pain and joy of love. On a cold and green night, Coral and Accident described the pain of parting, the guests in the center showed their comfort to their lover's mental trauma, and the last day showed their pride in fighting for the freedom of love. Xu Zhimo's love poems are not all about his own love experience. But they are all written with deep affection; Although it is for love to a certain extent, I am moved by my family, and I have a pure interest because of my family, which is worthy of recognition.

Xu Zhimo's later poems are obviously different from his early poems in ideological tendency and emotional tendency. In Tiger and Wandering, sadness and despair pervade most poems. This may be related to the political situation in 1927, and it is also very likely to be related to some changes in his personal life. This kind of despair, as he repeatedly lamented in "I don't know the wind": "I don't know which direction the wind blows-/I am in a dream,/broken in the sadness of my dream!" You can temporarily forget some real pain in your dreams, but after all, you can't dream forever. When you wake up, you have to face the reality. There are too many terrible things in reality. Therefore, there are many sentences in Xu Zhimo's poems that try to avoid reality, such as "friend, what's the use of worrying?" Let's drink and play, it's cool under this locust tree. " In the later love poems, it is also obviously different from the previous ones, showing the indulgence, such as late at night, don't twist me, it hurts. In a sense, these poems can be understood as a manifestation of the spiritual crisis of the poet Xu Zhimo in this period. He struggled in the great contrast between reality and ideal, trying to find or wait for a "real resurrection opportunity." Judging from the poems published by 1930, such as Wild Goose and Orioles, Xu Zhimo has gradually freed himself from sadness and despair, and some new factors are sprouting in his thoughts. Unfortunately, the air crash at the end of 193 1 took this talented poet away forever.
