What is the typical significance of the images and pictures depicted in Ai Qing's poem "The North"?

During the Anti-Japanese War, patriotic literary works centered on national salvation also formed their own artistic characteristics, such as popularity, and made great progress. But at the same time, due to the urgency of the propaganda task, writers have no time to modify and process the art form itself too much, so there is a tendency of formulation and conceptualization. Writers are content to vent their feelings or convey political tasks at low prices. Therefore, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's artistic value is not very high on the whole. But it also gave birth to excellent works handed down from generation to generation. The North is an important collection of poems by Ai Qing at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. The poet described the deep pain and misfortune brought by the war to the people of China, and at the same time sang praises of this land with strong patriotic feelings, expressing his deep affection for this land. Yiyin green oh a track:

China

I was in the dark at night.

A weak poem.

Can I give you some warmth?

Sometimes poets are sad. He wrote: "Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply. " Ai Qing's poems have avoided the shortcomings of straightforwardness and simplicity in the literature of anti-Japanese war and national salvation, and reached a considerable height in art.

=====================

Ai Qing: Weep with the song.

Ai Qing (19 10- 1996), a China poet, was born in Jinhua, Zhejiang. He is the author of poetry anthology Dayan River-My Nanny, North China, To the Sun, Dawn Notice, etc. The poetic style is heavy and the artistic conception is melancholy and sentimental. After arriving in Yan 'an, he gradually turned to the tragic and lofty poetic style. He is a poet who has an important influence on China's new poetry, and is praised as "the first poet in China" by Nie Luda.

Sing out the sufferings and aspirations of the people.

Someone once asked me: Who was the poet who touched you the most in the history of China's 20th century poetry? I blurted out: "Ai Qing".

Ai Qing was born a poet. When he was studying in Paris, he originally studied painting. He has a keen sense and deep feelings, and his writing is loose and smooth. Most importantly, all his poems come from his direct experience of the realistic context and sincere concern for the fate of the country and the nation. He inherited some romantic ideas, emphasizing that poets should first have strong feelings and express their enthusiasm more directly, so as to achieve the effect of skin-to-skin contact and breath blending. Ai Qing himself has expressed such a poetic view on many occasions: "If you want to speak sincerely, you must really have strong feelings for what you praise and praise. It's hard not to say it. This is by no means a parrot, but a heartfelt heart song. " The theme in Ai Qing's poems is daily life, and the language is spoken language. He wrote the feelings in the hearts of millions of people and made them sing and cry with the rhythm of his poems.

Ai Qing's poems represent the times and plead for the people. Judging from the breadth and depth of singing, the more important poets at that time, such as Bian, He Qifang and Dai Wangshu, were quickly surpassed by Ai Qing. Because the works of other poets are quite unique, beautiful and even profound, but they lack blood and tears. As early as 1939, someone said, "... Mr. Bian Zhilin's poems are not bad, but their poems can't make my blood beat faster and do what I should do." What he means is that Ai Qing's poems are not only pleasing to the eye and thought-provoking, but also can inspire readers to engage in fiery and even dangerous struggles. The poet Mu Dan is a student of Bian. In an article in 1940, he said that Ai Qing's poems "will shake your youthful energy and inspire you to face struggle and light more happily."

It is true that Ai Qing not only accuses evil and exposes darkness, but also loves light and yearns for happiness. His poems let readers vent their pain and troubles, but they don't make people depressed and desperate, but they have the pleasure of "dying." After reading his poems, you will cry, but before you finish reading them, you will wipe away your tears, and what you strive for for for yourself with practical actions is also the freedom and liberation of the nation.

Compassion and gratitude in Dayan River —— My nanny

1932, Ai Qing, as an artistic youth, was imprisoned by the Kuomintang Shanghai authorities because he was engaged in the progressive painting movement in Shanghai. He lost his painting tools and could only write poems simply. This passage, as soon as it happened, was the most touching poem in the history of new poetry. Unexpectedly, a great poet was born from prison. This proves once again that "misfortune" is a hotbed of poetry-is it good or bad for a poet's poetry?

Among those "prison poems", the most tearful one is Dayan River-My Nanny. 193365438+1October 14, it was a cold day, it was snowing outside the big wall, and the cell was freezing cold. Ai Qing wrote this lyric poem of 100 lines in one breath with trembling hands and trembling heart. With great passion, he expressed sympathy and praise for the hard-working and kind-hearted workers at the bottom, and also expressed his hatred and curse for the rich, heartless and unfair phenomena in the world. This poem is very touching because it is full of true stories. "Dayanhe" was Ai Qing's wet nurse when she was young. She took good care of Ai Qing and made Ai Qing feel grateful for her life. Ai Qing said that this poem "was written out of gratitude ... my young heart always loved her until I came of age." Ai Qing was originally the son of the landlord, but he hated his vulgar, snobbish and ignorant father and betrayed his class. Instead, he sang praises to his servants. This shows his progressive view of society and the compassion that only great poets have.

It is said that the first reader of this poem is Ai Qing's prisoner. The man was sentenced to death. He recited the poem in Shanghai dialect and cried when he read it. Ai Qing knew that his attempt at poetry was successful, because his first and highest requirement for poetry was to make people cry. After this poem was published in May 1934, it caused a strong response, and readers wrote letters to the editorial department to express their approval. It soon spread to Japan. At a reading party in Tokyo, a foreign student read this poem with tears in his eyes, and some people in the audience burst into tears.

When I read this poem for the first time in middle school, the nanny's movements, images and demeanor were vividly displayed in front of my eyes, because I thought she was like my mother who worked day and night. For such a labor scene, there is a very specific description in the poem: "You hold me in your arms with your thick palm and touch me; /After you started the stove,/After you took off the charcoal ash from your apron,/After you tasted the rice,/After you put the black sauce bowl on the black table,/After you mended the clothes of your sons who were cut by thorns on the hillside,/After you bandaged the hands of the children who were cut by the firewood knife ... "I think this is the main reason for the moving charm and mystery of this poem. At the end of the poem, Ai Qing calls to her mother for all the sons in the world: "I grew up with your milk/your son,/I respect you/love you! "

The curse and call sign of the north

1937, after the July 7th Incident, Ai Qing became an escaped refugee, first fleeing from Hangzhou to his hometown Jinhua, and then fleeing from Jinhua to Wuhan with his wife. At that time, Wang Jingwei and other traitors were eager to prepare for the Japanese emperor. The Chinese nation has really reached the most dangerous moment, and the situation is not optimistic. Ai Qing fell into confusion, sadness and despair.

1At the end of February, it was another winter night. He wrote an amazing masterpiece Snow Falls on the Land of China. Then, with deep sorrow and full passion, he created similar famous articles, such as I love this land, North China, Tram, Beggar and so on. These poems depict the land of the motherland destroyed by the war of aggression and the bottom people tortured by the fate of suffering. Ai Qing played the wail of the suffering nation in the years of suffering: "Ah, you/unkempt young woman,/you/your home/that happy and warm nest/were burned down by the ferocious enemy?" /Is it/is it like this night,/without the protection of men,/in the horror of death/have you ever been teased by enemy bayonets? "After more than half a century, Han Niu, a poet of July School, recalled the feeling of reading this poem at that time and vividly said:" Ai Qing's' snow' is so heavy that people can't breathe and want to scream. " "It's a call and a bell. "

Ai Qing seems to prefer to take the Great Northern Wilderness as the poetic background. He was born in Jiangnan, perhaps because of the great contrast between regional culture and psychology. On the contrary, poets who pursue novelty have a sharper sense of the north than ordinary northerners. Perhaps the fact that the north is more desolate and barren than the south inspires the poet's sympathy. Among these poems describing the north, the north is the most representative. Ai Qing used a soothing, melancholy and smooth tone to vent the deep sadness that pervaded his heart. "The sadness in the north/the turbulent waves of the Yellow River in Wan Li/pouring disasters and misfortunes to the vast north; /and the wind and frost of that era/description/vast north/poverty and hunger. " Mr. Han Niu said that fifty years ago, as soon as he read the beginning of this poem, he was deeply attracted: "It was close to my uncivilized heart" and "awakened all my sleeping feelings close to the poem." Ai Qing's "Northern Poetry" made me, a Jiangnan person, pursue a heroic and rough poetic style, and also made me study, work and live in the north for more than ten years.

Comfort and encouragement of dawn notice

During the Anti-Japanese War, Ai Qing never forgot his expectation and praise for a bright, warm and beautiful world. He wrote some great works, directly calling on and inspiring people to fight for tomorrow! Such as Dedicated to the Sun, The Trumpet, His Second Death, Torch, Dawn Notice, etc. They are all battle horns, reminding people to wake up, get up and go. Like a bright torch, it illuminates the soldier's journey. Please wake up all the unfortunate people/I will give them comfort. Ai Qing integrated his personal feelings into the torrent of the masses and welded his personal destiny with the lofty mission of resisting Japan. Countless young people have read Ai Qing's poems, strengthened their beliefs that they may have shaken, reheated their hard work that may have been a little cold, and continued to fight bravely, or risked their lives to forget their lives, took up arms and turned to fight hard. Through these works, we can see Ai Qing as a warrior with a pen as a gun and a drum as a drum. 1In July, 939, in order to commemorate the second anniversary of the July 7th Incident, anti-Japanese propaganda reached its climax in many parts of the country. As one of the most important cities in the rear area, Guilin also held an unprecedented commemorative activity, and the torch parade reached its climax. That night, it was just dark, and more than 10 thousand people held torches and lined up like dragons and walked through the main streets of Guilin. Ai Qing is also in this huge team, and his blood is boiling at once. Soon after, he wrote a magnificent long poem "Torch". Ai Qing wrote at the end of the poem: "Don't cry, son/come to sleep/it's almost dawn." Perhaps it is because of reading and memorizing these poems that my creative thinking has a paradigm, that is, I can't help but add a high tail to the end of many poems with the theme of suffering-even if it is purely an ideal I can't believe.
