Dawn is beautiful.
every day has a dawn. However, it is not easy for a nation to strive for the dawn of society. We must go through the struggle between blood and fire, and we must fight the darkness with perseverance.
The poet came to Yan 'an from Chongqing after many difficulties and dangers, even risking his life. In this new world, the poet's heart suddenly became clear. The poet clearly feels that the Chinese nation, which has been under class oppression and national crisis for a long time, is coming after years of struggle. The poet conveyed this message to people with his unique sensitivity.
The poet first received the Notice of Dawn. How joyful the poet's heart is! This is a joy that the Chinese nation has suffered for thousands of years. It is a joy that has grown from China. This joy is warm and deep, and it contains a heavy sense of history.
The poet's strange imagination plays an important role in this poem. The poet's heart felt that the dawn of the Chinese nation was coming. However, when writing this poem, the poet did not focus on the usual thinking logic, that is, how people prayed for or welcomed the dawn, but from the opposite angle, that is, from dawn to the pen, and wrote it with the eyes and mood of dawn. The poet personifies the dawn and expresses people's wishes in the tone of dawn. Such an angle and such a conception make this poem full of freshness, which makes the joy in the poet's heart overflow more touching.
The Notice of Dawn is always written with the freedom of dawn. The poet became the messenger who conveyed the prayer of dawn.
Dawn asked the poet to tell people: "Say that I have come through the dew/guided by the last star//I have come from the east/from the rough sea//I will bring light to the world/and warmth to mankind"
When the dawn comes, people are extremely happy, and they will inevitably be unable to restrain this joy and take various actions to welcome the dawn. The poet wrote many vivid details of life in his poems, but these details were spoken through the tone of dawn. In fact, it goes without saying that these vivid details are the poet's own feelings, just giving the dawn. How kind it is to say it by dawn.
"Ask them to welcome me-/The forerunner of the day, the messenger of light"
Since then, a series of details have come to my face. Here, we only quote a few lines: "Please ask the street sweeper to clean the street/please ask the truck to remove the garbage//please ask the village women to open their chicken coops/please ask the farmers to pull the cattle out of the barn"
These details are simple and touching. It is the poet who feels it from his own life experience. This heartfelt joy is a kind of liberated joy.
Dawn also hopes the poet, "Please wake up all the unfortunate people"-mothers, girls, parturients, the wounded, refugees and so on. I will give them comfort together. The poet wrote so many "please wake up" people that the poet has a deep meaning. That is to say, the arrival of dawn will comfort all the oppressed and exploited working people and reveal the significance of dawn vividly and profoundly.
The whole poem seems to be very specific, and one picture after another is constantly presented. But the whole poem can be said to be a symbol, and "Dawn" itself is a symbol. That is, it symbolizes the victory of revolution and the liberation of the whole country. Many details in the poem can also be said to be a symbol, that is, people will enter a new world when the revolution is won and the country is liberated. People warmly welcome this new world and rejoice for it.
The reason why this poem is kind and touching lies not only in the truth and vividness of these details, but also in the revolutionary significance conveyed through these details.
The poet edited Poetry Magazine in Yan 'an, and wrote an article "I wish-to Poetry Magazine". The poet said with passion: "Poetry is the rejuvenation of national spirit and the highest expression of human rationality. The development of poetry is the inevitable result of the cultural development of a country and a nation. "
He also said: "The unfinished revolutionary cause needs poetry, and the creation of new China needs poetry-a realistic poem that needs to be highly expressed, showing the bravery and strength of the battle, profound and touching."
It is in this high sense that the poet wrote the poem "Dawn Notice". However, the poet does not express this supreme meaning in a straightforward and slogan-like way. But with true feelings, vivid descriptions and ingenious ideas. The reason why the poet can poeticize a lofty meaning lies not only in the flesh-and-blood connection between the poet and the revolution and the destiny of the nation, but also in the seriousness of the poet's request for poetry. That is, poetry should be poetry, not something else.
