I. Original text
Wild flowers on the grassland witnessed the death of the gods.
The distant wind is farther than the distant wind.
My piano whimpers and tears are gone.
I returned this distant place to the grassland.
One is called wood and the other is called ponytail.
Sob, no tears.
In the distance, there is only one wild flower condensed in death.
The bright moon is like a mirror, and the grassland hangs high, reflecting the Millennium.
My piano sobbed and my tears disappeared. I beat that horse by myself.
Cross the grassland
Second, appreciate
"Witness the death of the gods, there are wild flowers on the grassland." At the beginning of the poem, the reader is attracted to a scene full of mysterious atmosphere, where distant time and vast space are intertwined, and life and death are mutually interpreted.
The word "witness" has a special meaning, which shows the starting point of the poet's thinking. "Witness" is not "the death of the gods", but "a wild flower", which is the vitality of the grassland. "Wild flowers" are the existence of grasslands, relying on "the death of the gods". Therefore, the existence of "wild flowers" is the existence of death.
Although the poet didn't see the death of the gods with his own eyes, he got it by meeting the gods instead of seeing it with his own eyes. From the practical level, the "death" of gods is an illogical collocation. Death is always associated with survival, because gods have never survived, so their death is out of the question.
However, from another perspective, the existence of gods did happen. The encounter between gods and human beings means that human beings have learned to escape from reality and think forever and finally.
In this way, the "death of the gods" here shows that the long history of mankind has begun to interrupt the encounter between mankind and the gods. The "death" of the gods on the grassland suddenly hides the ancient and mysterious nature of the grassland. The profound history of the grassland is invisible and makes people feel very far away.
