The "I" in this poem is a young man who is addicted to emotional pursuit. He often wanders alone in the rainy lane in the south of the Yangtze River. The lyric hero in the poem has a sense of tragedy and loneliness, because the beautiful girl he expects to symbolize the ideal is just a dreamlike hazy image. "Lilac-like girl" became the symbol of the author's beautiful ideal.
In the extended material rain lane, the poet used symbolic images and image group to construct lyrical space, conveyed inner feelings, and integrated the artistic nutrition of China's ancient poems, especially the graceful poems in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Besides, the artistic success of this poem lies in its harmonious musical beauty.
Dai Wangshu's poems are full of graceful and graceful poetic style in China's classical poems, but influenced by the French symbolism poetry school, his early poems generally show a kind of loneliness, melancholy and depression.
This poem is both true and empty, hazy and trance. "I" seems to be full of worries and infinite worries, but I don't want to make it clear or say it. "I" seems to be looking forward to something and pursuing something, but the goal of looking forward to and pursuing seems so distant and slim.
"She" appeared, maybe it was an illusion, or it could be true, but "she" appeared so quickly and passed away so quickly, flashed by and disappeared in front of her eyes, "as sad and confused as a dream".
"I" only feel sorry for myself and feel sorry for myself. The "girl" in the poem can be regarded as a real reference, a beautiful, noble and melancholy girl that the poet has been waiting for for a long time. But this "girl" can also be regarded as a hazy ideal and pursuit in the poet's heart, which represents the poet's bleak vision for the future when his life is depressed.
