The poem "I use my damaged palm" by Dai Wangshu is introduced as follows:
1. Original text
I use my damaged palm to explore this vast land: this corner It has turned into ashes, and that corner is just blood and mud; this lake should be my hometown. (In spring, the flowers on the embankment are like brocade curtains, and the young willow branches have a strange fragrance when they are broken.) I touch the waterweed and the faintness of the water. Cold;
The snow-capped peaks of Changbai Mountain are so cold that they are bone-chilling, the water of the Yellow River slips out with mud between your fingers; the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, the grass you grew back then is so thin and soft... now There is only basil;
The lychee flowers in Lingnan are lonely and haggard. Over there, I am dipped in the bitter water of the South China Sea without fishing boats... The invisible palms pass over the infinite mountains and rivers, my fingers are stained with blood and ashes, and my palms are stained with blood. Out of the darkness, only that distant corner is still intact, warm, bright, solid and vigorous in spring.
On it, I caress it gently with my damaged palm, like the soft hair of a lover or the milk in a baby's hand. I put all my strength in the palm of my hand and stick it to it, sending love and all hope, because only there is the sun and spring, which will drive away the darkness and bring revival, because only there we will not live like animals and die like ants. ...There, the eternal China!

2. Overall Appreciation
Most of the beautiful things in the world have harmonious and complete shapes, as small as a leaf, as large as a hill or a building. But beautiful things will be destroyed by sudden violence, harmonious things will become deformed, and complete things will become incomplete. The pursuit and longing for Gestalt caused by imperfection are the psychological reasons for the creation of "incomplete beauty".
The concept of this poem is divided into two parts. The first part is about the poet paying attention and imagining the occupied land of China, and pouring infinite pain and deep concern into the "broken palm". The author wants to explore the vast land of the motherland that is full of blood and mud.
Surreal techniques express the most realistic emotions and create the most realistic images from imagination. Whether the writing touches my hometown or places far and wide in the north and south of the motherland, I feel the concreteness and vividness of the image and the cohesion of emotions. The active state of mind is fully reflected in the quiet imagination.
