Appreciation of Mu Dan's Poetry Spring

Green flames are swaying on the grass,

He longs to hug you, flower.

Against the background of the earth, flowers bloom,

When the warm wind blows trouble or joy.

If you are awake, open the window,

Look at how beautiful this garden full of desire is.

Under the blue sky, fascinated by eternal mystery.

It's our 20-year-old closed body,

Like the song of a bird made of clay,

You're angry, but you have nowhere to go.

Oh, light, shadow, sound and color are all naked,

Pain, waiting for a new combination.

Mu Dan is regarded as "the earliest poet who consciously tended to modernism in the 1940s". "He not only skillfully used modernist techniques and expressive techniques, but also combined Eliot's metaphysical thought with Auden's psychological exploration", forming his own unique poetic style. This poem perfectly uses modern techniques, is deeply psychedelic, full of internal tension, and the impact and transformation of images are wonderful and magical.

This poem is about "spring", but there is no intuitive description throughout. Poets pay attention to their intuition. This intuition is different from the "direct processing" of imagism, but it is cast in the complex metaphysical speculative intelligence. "The green flame is swaying on the grass. /He is eager to hug you, flower. /Facing the ground, the flowers are blooming./When the warm wind blows, there are troubles and joys. " . Spring grass flourishes and is transformed into a green flame by the poet, which is not only similar in shape, but more importantly, the tenacious vitality of spring grass has an internal spiritual connection with the wildness of the flame. Everything wakes up in spring, and everything is surging with uncontrollable passion. Spring grass is infused with the poet's passion, and its swaying becomes a kind of longing, a kind of generate's desire, calling for flowers. Flowers are also strong, "resisting the earth" under the call of spring, revealing their buds and buds, like impulsive horns. The word "resistance" accurately and profoundly unfolds the essence of spring, reminding us of broader things, such as the cold and stiff land in winter and the unyielding resistance of flowers in black mud ... In this way, the green grass is in full swing, the flowers are rebels, and a spring full of vitality and competition is presented by the poet. This is not a phenomenon! Grass and flowers are not phenomena, but spirit and essence; It is the embodiment of the poet's spiritual ability to penetrate the surface order and see the hidden order, and it has profound intellectual characteristics. If you are awake, open the window/see how beautiful this garden is. "Desire" is a very abstract noun, but it has a high degree of "concrete abstraction" here. Because there are two groups of images of spring grass-flames and flowers-rebels, here we use "desire" to grasp it, really through the back of the paper, feelings through the back of the paper, and heat through the back of the paper! Desire in the Garden makes you feel that unrestrained spring is coming vigorously!

"Under the blue sky, what is bewitched by eternal mystery/is our closed body for 20 years,/like the song of a bird made of mud,/you are lit, curled, curled, but there is nowhere to go." This is about the explosion and depression of young people's lives. Twenty-year-old spirit and flesh are more restless in this spring full of desire and creative vitality. That "water mystery" is the internal conflict of life, and young people are "bewitched" by it. They want to vent and create, because their lives are also burning with "green flames" and blooming rebellious flowers! But man's will to life can't be as wild as nature, and he is still "closed". Like a bird made of earth, how hopeless his singing and wings are! They are impulsive, but they have nowhere to go. They are ignited by spring, but they can only curl up. Here is a two-part writing. Natural spring contrasts with human youth, and people are oppressed. He is struggling fiercely inside, saving his inner strength to break the oppression. This is a kind of mentality commonly felt by young intellectuals with ideals and integrity in their early forties (this poem was written in 1942). They have desires, but they can't show them; I have the strength and "nowhere to turn for help", and I am in an atmosphere of imitation, repression and tenacity. But the poet realized that "spring" is a necessity, creation and resistance are a necessity, and everything in nature shows people that "light, shadow, sound and color are naked,/suffering, waiting for a new combination." Oh, "pain"; "Wait" is the potential meaning of this poem! A profound psychological perspective can be seen here. In this poem, the fully released power of nature is used as a metaphor for the repressed power of human beings, but the final conclusion is not pessimistic. What is a "new combination"? People are as healthy and liberated as nature, and join this natural chorus with the appearance of "spring"! Welcome the spring of mankind with new creation.
