Speaking of modern female writers, Bing Xin is definitely in line, and her poems and prose do not lack a beautiful artistic conception, nor lack profound connotations, and have a very important influence on the entire history of modern literature. Among her poems, the most famous is ". Stars Spring Water".
It can be said that Bingxin's poetry has always been praised, but some netizens do not think so, they bluntly say that such poetry is not worthy of being called poetry, and even ridiculed by some netizens: it is also the level of online personality signatures!
Regarding the evaluation of Bingxin's poetry, over time, it has gradually become polarized. Mainstream evaluation naturally goes without saying: the feelings are sincere, delicate, rational and not lack of thinking, and it is endlessly evocative to read; what about non-mainstream evaluations? False, feelingless, immature, can be said to be completely opposite to the mainstream evaluation of the two concepts.
So, is Bingxin's poetry really as useless as some netizens say? Is Bing xin a poet? Bingxin can get widespread praise and recognition, certainly not useless, and she can also be regarded as a poet, but she must have shortcomings, which starts from the classification of Bingxin's poetry.
If the poetry of Bingxin is classified according to the object, it can be roughly divided into three categories: the first type is lyrical, mainly praising the sincere feelings between friends, brothers, and parents; the second type is philosophical poetry, which the author of this type of poetry is substituted into his own thoughts and thoughts; and the third type of poetry is a little broader, it describes a kind of thing in the nature of life, which is a reaction and capture of every detail in life.
Bingxin is more brilliant in the first two types of poems, several of which are not only famous, but also have an exciting feeling to read, such as this "Flower of Success":
The flower of success,
People only marvel at her current brilliance!
But at the beginning of her bud,
Soaked in the fountain of tears of struggle,
Sprinkled with a rain of sacrifice.
People often only look at the results and do not pay attention to the process, especially successful people, people often only marvel at his current achievements, but past efforts are not seen. However, with such a simple truth, the author uses "the brightness of the present", "the fountain of tears of struggle", and "the blood rain of sacrifice", which vividly shows the hardships of this process. Another example is the concise and concise poem:
Ordinary people's criticism and judgment,
Like a bunch of blind people,
Beyond the clouds, the moon is speculated.
Bingxin's poem was originally a response to those who insulted her and attacked her, but it is actually the same thing in today's complicated online world. There are many people who often start attacking an event or a person without knowing the truth or the reasons for it, which is very frightening.
The uniqueness of this poem is that many years later, this social phenomenon still exists, and it is becoming more and more serious, as if it describes the drawbacks brought about by the era of network information, it seems that the old man of Bingxin had foresight and insight into everything a long time ago. And this "Little Flower" about motherly love:
Little flowers,
I also want to raise my head,
Thank you for The Love of Spring Light——
Yet deep kindness,
Instead, it silenced her.
Oh Mother!
Are you that spring light?
In this poem, the author compares maternal love to spring light and the child to that little flower. From time to time, Xiaohua accepted the kindness of the spring light, and she often raised her head, but behind the gentle spring light, there was an incomparably deep emotion. Perhaps, this is maternal love!
Bingxin's poem is better than the countless sentences of "I love you", love does not have to be expressed all the time, sometimes a little look up and gaze, you can understand the mind, who said that the heart of the inch grass can not repay the light of the three springs? And to say that bingxin's most philosophical poem, it should be this:
Hope for that hopeless truth,
Answer that hard question,
It is the suicide of youth!
Bing Xin's poem tries to tell those young people that the pursuit and desire for knowledge is not wrong in itself, but we must not force ourselves into a dead end, as if to indict the unfairness of the world, why should we leave those unsolved problems to the youth?
No matter which era, the pressure on young people is undoubtedly the greatest, they are the hope of the country, but also the future of the country, they also have to endure the pain and suffering brought by work and family. Young people have a greater responsibility and are more stressed.
These are all good poems in Bingxin's works, but compared to this, "Stars and Spring Water" is dwarfed, such as this poem that praises the father's love:
Oh Father!
How I love you,
Also how to love your sea.
This poem looks a bit ordinary at first glance, and the last sentence is even more unclear, so what is the sea of loving fathers? In fact, because Bingxin's father served in the Navy School in Yantai, her childhood was basically spent on yantai's waterfront. Therefore, she loves her father as much as she loves the sea in Yantai.
However, such a description is very plain and ordinary, it is a very common thing to spend your childhood on the seashore, and it is not a very glamorous metaphor to compare father's love to the vast sea. Another example is these two poems:
(i)
Summer Nights,
The cool breeze rises,
Placket with the smell of orchids,
Go around the depths of your dreams.
(ii)
A gust of wind came —
The water of the lake flows backwards,
Shi Ji walked forward,
In the confusion...
I------------------------------------
It is undeniable that the description of these two poems is very beautiful, whether it is the mood or the wording, but the problem is that it cannot resonate in people's hearts, making people deeply feel the kind of emotion she wants to express. In other words, her two poems are a bit of a self-talk.
For Bingxin, the contradiction commented: "Reading Bingxin's works is like being in an unknown and known world, saying that the unknown is because there seems to be only herself, and it is known because she does not seem to be afraid of being seen, so she unreservedly presents her emotions in front of the world." ”
Indeed, in "Spring Water" we can feel such a "selfish" experience. It seems that Bingxin only pays attention to the catharsis of emotions, and does not reflect any profound philosophy, so that people have a feeling of sudden enlightenment and enlightenment after watching it, and some of Bingxin's poems are indeed lacking in both description and philosophy, which we can really feel.
However, for poets, the meaning of poetry is naturally different from the meaning given by us ordinary people. What we think of as poetry is beautiful, exquisite, profoundly embellished with beautiful words, sacred and civilized.
The poets do not think so, in their view, poetry should be closer to the normal state of daily life, should not only have a delicate appearance, just like life, can not be full of beauty every day, there must be an unknown and unbearable side.
For this side, most people choose to hide, but Bingxin chooses to present it unreservedly!
