Evaluation of a work

When I first met Xiao Tian, I couldn't help but think of Tan Sitong's sentence, "I'll laugh at the sky with my own knife, and I'll stay in the two Kunlun Mountains." My preconceptions are: a person with this name must be arrogant and unruly. Read the short poem that smiles at the sky carefully, and then laugh at yourself to get people by name. Short poems that smile at the sky are not crazy, but they are gentle and elegant, and they are best at discovering philosophy from the most ordinary daily life. So I summed up his poems as "Poetry is not crazy, gentle and full of philosophy." Next, from the characteristics and skills of smiling at the sky. People who write poems must have their creative intentions, and the fundamental reason is why they write poems. China's classical literary theory has many answers to the problems that poets must face. For example, there is a cloud in Preface to Mao Poetry: "A poet has ambition. In the book Wen Fu, Lu Ji clearly put forward that "poetry is based on emotion". The so-called poem is just a poem from feelings. Confucius said, "Why doesn't this child learn poetry? Poetry can flourish, be observed, be grouped and resented. Your father is that thing, and your father is that thing in the distance. You know more about the names of birds, animals and plants. "It pays more attention to the education and social effects of poetry. These two views have been going on and arguing with each other, which is actually the dispute between "I" and "I" in poetry.

"ego" pays more attention to the poet himself. It uses the poet's own feelings to write things, feelings and aspirations that happen to him or the people around him, and observes and expresses them from the perspective of "self". "Ego" embraces itself in the whole social group, looks at the changes of society and times from the perspective of "we" and shows the same feelings and ideals. It has a clear sense of social responsibility. In fact, there is no difference between these two viewpoints. As long as it is well written, it is a good work. We can also find that all outstanding works handed down from generation to generation are the perfect combination of "self" and "self". If the poet pursues "self" unilaterally and expresses the spirit of the times and social phenomena, but when these do not exist, it will be difficult for future readers to find their similarities and their works will be far away from readers. It is estimated that no one will pay attention to these poems except historians to dig up the historical materials they need. The works of "ego" have more advantages to a certain extent, and people's basic emotions are far less changed than those of the times. Today, people can easily find * * things in ancient poems, such as love, affection, friendship, or the way of dealing with people. It is a shortcut to choose and pay attention to "I" before we are fully capable of integrating "I" with "I" and seeing personality in ordinary places. Modern poetry has been developing steadily since it came into being, and some poets have also put forward some theories about modern poetry. Poets who have experienced the influence of classical poetry advocate "dancing in chains", emphasizing the structure and form of poetry, the rhythm and rhythm of poetry, poetry and artistic conception. And some large and small political struggles, especially the Cultural Revolution, are simply devastating disasters for poetry. The Cultural Revolution caused some old poets to die one after another, which also delayed the education of a generation. The new young poets have not grown up, and even if they have, they are far from the knowledge and accomplishment of the older generation. Because of this, it is easy for them to turn their backs on China's classical poetics, which may be their luck. There are no shackles before them, only infinite possibilities. But at the same time, they are also unfortunate. If they deviate from China's classical culture, everything will become rootless wood and passive water, and it seems impossible to go further on the road of poetry. Moreover, although some political movements make them constantly reflect and criticize the society and themselves, and start their infinite pursuit of spirit, they are also afraid to touch some major events and public themes. After all, the social background in which Bai Juyi could still write Song of Eternal Sorrow under the Li Tang regime no longer exists. All these have caused the chaos in China's poetry circles, with numerous schools and mud and sand, and also made poets tend to be conscious, sensitive and full of interest in poetry creation. Some people say that poets should learn to be psychic, put themselves above mountains and rivers, feel everything about them, be sincere, know how to be grateful and know how to suffer. However, this is only one aspect of the poet's sensibility. How to pay attention to ordinary events in life, integrate them into poetry and express their views is another important aspect. They embody the liberation of the poet's sensibility from different aspects. We can have a look at the "Walking Hangzhou Road" smiling at the sky: Hangzhou Road is not in Hangzhou, but it is not far from where I live. Sometimes after dinner, my right hand leads my wife's left hand to stroll from the right side of Hangzhou Road to the left side of the tree-lined sidewalk. On the left is camphor tree and on the right is palm tree. I am near Zhangshu. She is near the lake outside the palm trees. There are no storms. Let's go there and come back from the right of Hangzhou. Just the right side coming back from the right side, not the same right side. Although my right hand is still holding her left hand, this poem only intercepts a small scene in life. "My wife and I" walked on Hangzhou Road after dinner. The scene of the whole poem is fixed on Hangzhou Road, centering on the position changes of trees and hands, showing the process of my wife going back and forth, and embodying the theme of "walking". In this simple narrative, we can find that the author has grasped some details, and expressed his views and opinions with these details that he felt and were easily overlooked by ordinary people, which fully liberated the sensibility in the process of observation and writing. In his view, happiness is sometimes small and dull, just like walking with his wife after dinner, but life is actually composed of these small happiness and continues. Cherishing small happiness and satisfying small happiness is the real way for people to get happiness.

Another example is the garbage collector's wife written by Xiang. In the poem, the wife is arrogant, "There are more women looking up at the sky than overlooking the ravine ridge". Finally, "only now, I look down at the ravine more than at the sky", which reflects the mentality and situation of the characters from two different details, and then expresses these two mentality through a series of details. This poem is just right in the observation and handling of details, which makes people feel sorry for what happened to their wives. In life, who has not been forced by reality, lost their dreams and lost their former selves? This change is undoubtedly huge, but sometimes it may be ignored by us. The richness of interest can be the richness of the object described in poetry or the richness of the meaning of the object itself. One of the great advantages of modern poetry is that it can create a hazy artistic conception with hazy language, leaving readers with the possibility of multiple thinking and understanding. Just like if you want your poem to walk at a crossroads, it has infinite possibilities. As for the future direction, readers can understand and decide for themselves. He can choose one of the roads, choose to start again after this road, or even stand still in the middle of the road to understand the most basic meaning of poetry. For example, a straw hat smiling at the sky: the power of a grass is so weak that it can be easily broken. They collude with each other and expand from top to bottom, so they can cover the sky and do whatever they want on your head. A straw hat makes you live in her shadow, which makes Tian Xiang laugh a lot: a grass is weak, and many grasses can make you deal with the shadow. What kind of grass is this? It can be a person, or it can be troubles and problems that the poet can't solve. A person's strength is limited, but the strength of society is enormous, and you have to live in its shadow, change or go against your will. If this is an annoyance and a difficult problem, one is easy to solve and the other is easy to resolve. If it is too much, it will leave a shadow in my heart. A short poem can make people have multiple understandings, and each understanding can be explained clearly. We have to say that this is a good poem because it is rich in connotation and interesting.

Think with your heart, pay attention to yourself instead of staying on yourself, see the big from the small, see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the poem is as plain as tea. This is undoubtedly a feature of smiling at the sky.
