The Creative Background of Mirror in Ai Qing's Selected Poems
The creation background of Ai Qing's poetry collection Mirror is that the mirror is Ai Qing's work after 1987. During this period, great changes have taken place in the poet's poetic style, with more neat poems, more profound things and more cautious poems. The mirror in poetry is a knowledgeable, outspoken and honest person. "unfathomable" means that he is knowledgeable, "he loves the truth most and never hides any shortcomings" means that he is outspoken; "It is loyal to finding its owner" means it is loyal. This poem is written on the surface as a mirror, but in fact it is written about a person who looks like a mirror, so it is a way to express his will. It can be seen from the poems "It loves the truth most" and "Because it is straightforward" that this poem praises a person who is as honest as a mirror and satirizes all kinds of ugly phenomena in life.
