At first glance, what we see is a picture of children playing. The central figure in the picture is "me"-a clever and lovely child. On a whim, "I" became a golden flower and played with my mother three times a day. The first time I played, when my mother prayed, I quietly opened the petals to give off fragrance; The second time I played, when my mother read Ramayana, I cast my shadow on the page my mother read. The third time, when my mother went to the bullpen with a lamp, I suddenly jumped in front of my mother and returned to my original shape. "I" disappeared for a day, but I have been with my mother. "I" was naive, but I kept my secret, but his mother didn't know. Finally, her mother asked "where have I been", and he said "I won't tell you", which is a proud and well-meaning "lie". In detail, the strange behavior of "I" hides my attachment to my mother: emitting fragrance is a secret expression of my attachment to my mother; Casting a shadow on the page my mother read is a cover for my mother and a secret expression of my attachment to my mother. In short, "I" is expressing my feelings for my mother in a unique way for children.
Although the work is short, the plot is complete and there are waves in the plot development. The characters are shown in the development of the plot: "I" is naive and lively, clever and cunning, and kind in nature; Mother is quiet, pious, kind and loving. Kindness and kindness are the main melody melody of mother and son's character, but the "cunning" of "me" and the "deception" of mother are not harmonious with the main melody melody, resulting in some subtle changes and strong interest.
At this point, we have appreciated the rich and interesting poetry of this poem. However, if Tagore's poetry creation is limited to this, it is not a great writer Tagore; Tagore is superior to ordinary poets in that he can go further and deeper where the feelings and thoughts of ordinary poets stop, and enter the realm of wonderful enlightenment and "forgetting me". "Poetry is absorbed in the spirit, which will dry up and increase contempt" (Yan Yu's Poems on Canglang). If we go deeper and deeper into the golden flower, we will find something even more surprising.
In front of us, it turned out to be another picture of a fairy. The center of the picture is still "I"-a lively and lovely elf. This elf has omnipotent divinity. When it moves its mind, it becomes a golden flower; Golden flowers are in full bloom in the sacred trees of India. The poet chants this flower, which contains his devotion to God and creates a religious atmosphere. In addition, my mother is a devout religious person and keeps a calm and serene character, which also brings a little religious flavor to her poems. Elves can go up and down, swing at will, dance at will, blossom at will and give off fragrance at will. Finally, I moved my heart and became a person again. What it does has infinite freedom, which is by no means comparable to any human body. Of course, it not only has the ability of God, but also has the character of God-that is, the kindness and love mentioned above. Since this kind of kindness and love comes from a little god-a little god from the windy and dusty heaven, it is mysterious and noble. From this perspective, we can understand the theme of this poem and the poet's thoughts and feelings more deeply, which is to praise God. It turns out that the poet preaches love with religious significance-the noblest and purest love. Religious feelings enhance the feelings of poetry, and religious thoughts enhance the theme of poetry.
The significance of the latter picture deserves more attention. Most people can only really write about children's playfulness and intimacy with their mothers; Only Tagore can write the traces and psychology of the personified gods, and it is as light, ingenious and natural as running water. He writes oriental poetry and the mystery and implication of oriental culture. At this point, his poetry is also very different from western poetry. Although the western poetry world was influenced by religious thoughts and emotions in history, these thoughts and emotions gradually faded and alienated after entering the modern society. No famous poet has ever seen such an obsessive belief in God as Tagore, and praised God as the theme of his poetry creation. Because Tagore lives in a country where Buddhism is the state religion, he is a poet trained by oriental culture. Throughout Tagore's prose poems, we can feel a strong mysterious religious atmosphere everywhere. There are often immortal "scales and claws" in poems. Although the name of God is not specified, demonstrative pronouns such as "you", "he" and "she" usually indicate or imply the God to be praised. Therefore, it can be said that praising God is the basic motif of Tagore's poetry creation and the deep theme of Golden Flower.
Of course, we can interpret this poem only from the secular and secular theme, but it is superficial after all and does not meet the original expectation of Tagore's poetry; If we interpret it with the help of our understanding of religious feelings and thoughts, the meaning of the work will become profound and profound, and we can almost grasp the feelings and thoughts of the poet. Fanfajia, from the Institute of Literature, China Academy of Social Sciences, wrote Fantasy Beautiful and Affectionate: Golden Flower, which shows a child's innocent fantasy full of consciousness and vividly describes the child's infinite love and attachment to his mother by talking to his mother alone.
