Appreciation of Zhang Erguo's poem "Diffuse".

Original poem

Yamanki

Text/Zhang Erba

In the body of a bird, you can find the sky

And the inside of a pangolin

Hidden are the ups and downs of the earth

I am the human being who cannot go to heaven or earth

You don't try, look for anything from me

My fears, my sorrows, my rivers

Three thousand miles of fog

It's also in your body, pervasive

My dirt paths

also walked by, to visit your people

And among this group, there are also mixed up

A few hearts with knives and axes

赏析

"Diffuse" is a poem about exploring the meaning of the value of life, through the "three thousand miles of fog" maze, walking through the swampy "muddy path", the goal is still vague, the vision and mood are still in the "diffuse", is the road far away and cannot be reached? Or is the journey too difficult?

"I" is a dignified seven-foot man who has no ability to "go to the sky", nor can he "go to the ground", he is not as good as a bird, flying around in the sky with a pair of wings, flying freely. The sky is theirs, and the ideal is written in the sky;

The "pangolins" lying on the "earth" have their own achievements, and "I" is not as good as them, which makes "me" ashamed and very "sad".

I want to renew my determination in the midst of "fear" and "sorrow", and to be a person who "goes to visit you" with more strength, and in "this group", I am the person who "has a few hearts with knives and axes", and I will not give up until I reach the destination.

The road is out, the career is done, there will be fog, and even more bumpy bumps, but as long as you move forward, you will eventually achieve your career and life, which is what the poem refers to.
