Wen Yiduo thinks that "Cold Jade Night" including "Groans" is "a real progress" in poetic achievements. He said that Xu Zhimo pays more attention to the formal skills of poetry, except for more diverse poetic styles, such as "what dialogue style, rammed song style, dried tofu style"; The content is both narrative and lyrical. The author is also fascinated by the syllables and rhythms of this poem. Ingenious conception is the primary feature of the tortuous poem Groans, which originated from Xu Zhimo's superb poetic conception. Emerald Night is Xu Zhimo's second collection of poems. In the author's words, it is "the trace of another great turning point in life." (Introduction of Tiger Set). Since the author wrote about the twists and turns in life, he could have written trivial, concrete and considerate. For example, the poem "Cold and Green Night" with the same name as the collection of poems makes readers read more like a real moan: infatuation, doubt and vows about love are woven between moaning words.
However, this kind of "groan" stands out from the groan (the gap formed by the contradiction between the title of the poem and the lines of the poem itself leaves readers room for deep thinking), which puts the lyric hero in a palace of words. The author sings so devoutly: "I also want to praise this magical universe,/I also want to forget that there is sorrow in the world,/like a tireless plum blossom sparrow,/singing clearly and jumping at dusk." This temple is actually made by his own love dream: "If she is always by my side like a breeze!" " "A plain and true sentence tells the hard-won love in trivial reality. If life can be like a person's ideal, "I also want my poems to flow like clear water,/I also want my heart to swim like a fish." "I do" is based on the realization of "I want". The accuracy of words is the embodiment of the poet's clear thinking and clear meaning. "But now it's my heart." Most ordinary people's wishes are beyond the reach of reality, and all their ideals have become empty promises. So, from "God! You don't give her life and freedom for a day! "When this strong question was read backwards, the lyric hero's strong rebellious spirit came to the fore. Believing in God is because God can save, on the contrary, faith becomes betrayal. Xu Zhimo's Groans contains 1 14 words, that is, 1 14 syllables; Divided into two sections, much like the upper and lower sections in China's ancient poems. The upper and lower paragraphs are 57 syllables respectively. Although the syllables are equal, the poems and characters are different. The upper and lower paragraphs (Upper Que and Lower Que) of Groans are very symmetrical, much like the antitheses in Tang poetry and Song poetry, and the structure is also very clever.
The whole poem "groan" rhymes, with "ou" in modern Chinese as the vowel, and the rhyme foot is in each verse 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 1 0. The rhymes are Zhou, Qiu, You, Liu, You and You. In addition, on the basis of rhyme throughout, there are other rhymes in the third and fourth lines of each paragraph, but the vowels are not the same. Specifically, lines 3 and 4 rhyme "ue" by themselves, and the rhymes are "Que" and "Yue" respectively. Lines 8 and 9 rhyme "in(ing)" by themselves (note: the rhyme of in\ing is similar in spoken language), and the rhyme feet are "xin" and "xing" respectively.
Generally speaking, the rhyme program of the whole poem "Groans" 10 is: aabba in the previous sentence and aacca in the next sentence. Among them, rhyme foot A stands for "European" rhyme, which belongs to the whole rhyme; Rhyme foot B stands for "ue" rhyme and rhyme foot C stands for "in(ing)" rhyme, both of which belong to local rhyme. Xu Zhimo's "Groans" has a sense of rhythm and rhythm because of its dense rhymes and harmonious lines, and the careful selection of syllables makes it cadence and ancient charm, which is very suitable for reading and produces a melody aesthetic feeling of music. Groans is a short poem. For such a poem, the excellent use of its language is particularly important. In terms of language skills and text length arrangement, the structure of the upper and lower paragraphs of groans is consistent, and the whole sentence and the scattered sentences used in the whole article are also completely consistent. What is most worth mentioning is that some function words in Groans clearly highlight the proper role of beading in the whole poem: if the poet is not particularly careful when choosing his important function words "one", "if", "Dan" and "being", the language effect of circuitous turning will suddenly be lost. In fact, regarding Chinese function words as a string of language pearls is not only an important feature of Xu Zhimo's poetic language, but also one of the reasons why the author has made such high achievements in modern poetry.
