-Haizi "Facing the sea, spring blossoms"
The poet Haizi's youth has passed away, and his poetic achievements are widely praised. His lyric sonnet "Facing the Sea, Flowers Bloom in Spring" is a combination of western business style and China culture, with sincere feelings and noble artistic conception. It has been selected into university and high school textbooks and attracted many interpretations and appreciation comments. After reading these, Jamba was encouraged and had some regrets. Commenting on literary works should "know people and discuss the world"; Explore the poet's mental journey when writing this poem, and better understand and appreciate this famous poem. Jamba also talked about his feelings.
First of all, we must understand that Haizi was embarrassed at that time: First, he was attacked in the poetry circle. He is a "romantic prince" poet. He almost wants to devote all his energy to poetry and is determined to become the "king of poetry", but he has been publicly criticized for several months. Second, love is frustrated. The first lover left him and will fly abroad with her new lover; The taste of lovelorn is sour, bitter, salty and spicy. I think everyone understands his sadness. Third, I feel a little guilty about my relatives in my hometown. Haizi was born in a poor peasant family, studied hard and entered Beijing after graduation. His family has high expectations of him and hopes to get more financial assistance from him. But as a university teacher, he failed to give his family more economic returns, and his relatives and friends in his hometown complained bitterly. The young poet was very sensitive, and was entangled in these encounters, which aroused his fierce ideological struggle.
On the eve of the brewing of this poem, some people speculated that Haizi had wandered in the room: the ancients said that "poetry is poor and backward", and now I am really "at the end of my tether". For poetry, I didn't bother to strive for financial prosperity, and I didn't have much money to send home. My parents and younger brother are very disappointed in me. I lost my lover for poetry. Is it that when I get along with her, I often wander in the poetic country, and my absentmindedness and trance have made her cold? Is it because I am not well-off financially and can't meet her rich expectations of material life that she has a new love? Or what is "personality incompatibility"? I put myself into poetry so much, but what I got was that my poetry friends didn't understand me, and even picked their noses and eyes! This road has been closed. Should I turn to another life path?
"From tomorrow on, be a happy person.
Feed horses, chop wood and travel around the world. "
Analysts believe that Haizi is tired of focusing on poetry and pursuing a refined and elegant spiritual life. This is a declaration of turning to seek happiness in earthly life and living a simple and rude life as a worker. Qiangba agreed to explore the poet Haizi's rich inner world on the basis of this understanding, and explore the China cultural connotation of his image of "feeding horses, chopping firewood and traveling around the world".
Feed the horse. Why not write about herding cattle, herding sheep and raising pigs? Isn't that the pastoral mood of ordinary farm life? "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Yan" records: (a monk in Jin Dynasty) Zhi Daolin often kept several horses; Or "Tao does not rhyme with people, livestock and horses", saying: "Being poor is more important than being handsome." Indeed, feeding a herd of horses, prancing and whipping on the vast grassland and whistling in the wind of Ma Si, how rough and handsome!
Chop wood. Instead of cutting shrubs and firewood, chop large pieces of firewood. Even if you still use wood stoves, cherish forest resources and cook every day, how many places can have such luxury now? This is an old simple way of life. When Haizi wrote it, he couldn't help thinking of cases and Zen stories: grass and yellow flowers are all Buddhist, and firewood and water are all bodhi.
Travel around the world. Is it the deep complex of China traditional culture, and should we inherit Sima Qian's "Reading thousands of books and Walking Wan Li Road"? Do you want to wander around the world alone after being lovelorn? Qiangba also has a guess: the previous "feeding horses and chopping wood" was related to the life of ancient Buddhist monks. Is it true that Haizi subconsciously has Jia Baoyu's "If you leave me, I will become a monk"? But still reluctant to give up, because the former lover has gone abroad, subconsciously want to "travel around the world" to pursue her?
"From tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables.
I have a house,
Facing the sea, spring blossoms. "
This is what I really want to live a good secular life and pursue secular happiness! "Caring for food and vegetables" is not only "food is the most important thing for the people", but also reflects the local conditions and customs of Beijing at that time. From 1950s to 1980s, grain was purchased and sold in 30 years. Planned quantitative supply is implemented for residents, with coarse grains and flour and rice as the main crops in the north, flour rice in flour rice and corn and sorghum as coarse grains; Want to eat well, eat well, who can care about everyone's monthly food ration, how to buy coarse grains in flour and rice, and how to match them? The "vegetables" mentioned here should mainly refer to Chinese cabbage. The harvest of Chinese cabbage and the purchase and storage of Chinese cabbage for winter consumption by every household have long been a major concern of Beijing residents. I have a house; Haizi, as a university teacher, should already have his own dormitory; But the house mentioned here is "facing the sea", so it can be seen that what is written here is only the ideal residence of Haizi. In other words, on the one hand, Haizi intends to live a secular life, on the other hand, he is still obsessed with his own ideals and pursuits. In this cold winter (the time when Haizi wrote this poem was June 65438 +654381October +03, which was between the "slight cold" and "severe cold" in the lunar calendar), in this metropolis with traffic jams and personal embarrassment, Haizi hoped to "build a house in a humanistic environment, but there were no horses and chariots" and yearned for ". He should be close to nature, avoid hubbub, be independent and fair, "face the sea", have a broad vision and a broad mind; Looking at the vastness of the world, the wind and waves are stirring, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the tide rises and falls; Feel relaxed and happy, fish jump and birds fly, water and sky are one color, clouds steam and Xia Wei, and spring blossoms. This artistic conception is really charming.
"From tomorrow on, communicate with every relative.
Tell them my happiness,
What did the lightning of happiness tell me,
I'll tell everyone. "
It seems that there may have been a gap in the past. Haizi doesn't communicate much with relatives in his hometown. Now he has decided to strengthen contact with his relatives. Is telling my relatives "my happiness" an imaginary earthly happiness or the pleasure of writing a good poem? Is the "lightning of happiness" the intoxication brought by the worldly happiness in imagination, or the "peak experience" produced when inspiration surges and poetry ripples? In short, in the process of writing this poem, it seems that Haizi really got a feeling of happiness. Feel happy, put aside contradictions and troubles, Haizi's mind is broader. "One person is not as happy as others", and he wants "everyone" to share his happiness.
