Introduction to the famous works of "Selected Poems of Ai Qing"
First, the basic knowledge
1. About the Author
Ai Qing is a modern writer and poet. Formerly known as Jiang Zhenghan, a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang. Hai Cheng, who used pen names such as Gu Jia, Ke'a, Lin Bi, etc., is considered to be one of the representative poets of modern Chinese poetry. Ai Qing has been called "a writer who pursues light all his life." ”
In 1932, he joined the Chinese Left-Wing Artists Union in Shanghai. In 1933, he published a long poem "Dayan River - My Nanny" under Ai Qing's pen name for the first time. Later, he successively published poetry collections such as "Dayan River", "Torch", "To the Sun", etc., pouring out his feelings for the motherland and the people. After the founding of New China, poems such as "Cheers Collection" and "Spring" were published, and after 1948, poems such as "On the Tip of the Waves" and "Hymns of Light" were published.
In the history of the development of new Chinese poetry, Ai Qing is another poet who has promoted a generation of poetry styles and had an important impact after Guo Moruo, Wen Yiduo and others, and also enjoys a reputation in the world. In 1985, France awarded Ai Qing the highest medal of merit in literature and art.
2. The process of writing a book
After the "Gang of Four" was smashed in 1976, Ai Qing was unjustly rehabilitated, and he was once again rejuvenated in creation, writing and publishing excellent works such as "Fish Fossils". In 1979, the poet himself compiled "Selected Poems of Ai Qing", which was published by the People's Literature Publishing House. This selected poem includes the poet's major works from the 1930s to the late 1970s, and basically reflects the poet's creative process and stylistic characteristics.
3. Style of work
Ai Qing's poetry is from a stylistic point of view: before liberation, he cursed the darkness with deep, agitated, and unrestrained brushstrokes and praised the light; after liberation, he sang praises the people, praised the light, and thought about life as always. His "Return" song is more extensive, more thoughtful, more emotional, more diverse, and more mature in art. His poetry, with realism as the main body, draws on the nutrients of symbolism, the style is simple and fresh, deep and timeless, clear and not direct, sometimes subtle and not obscure, practicing his poetic aesthetic proposition of "simplicity, simplicity, concentration and brightness". Ai Qing is a representative poet of free-form new poetry.
Second, artistic characteristics
1. Unique imagery and themes, in which the mind image is the land and the sun, while the theme is patriotism.
Every poet with originality has his own image, and in this image, his unique feelings, observations and understandings of life are condensed, and the unique thoughts and feelings of the poet. The central imagery of Ai Qing's poetry is the land and the sun, while the theme is patriotism. The image of the land embodies Ai Qing's deepest love for the motherland and the people. The image of the sun shows the poet's passionate and unceasing pursuit of light, ideals, and a good life. Patriotism is the theme that can never be sung in Ai Qing's works, and the poet expresses a deep patriotic feeling that is unforgettable and unswerving until death through imagery. This kind of sentiment is universal and typical among Chinese people in modern times.

2. Poetry with melancholy.
"Melancholy" permeates the soul of the poet and is one of the basic elements that constitute the artistic characteristics of Ai Qing's poetry. We can call it "AiQing-style melancholy." On the one hand, Ai Qing's melancholy comes from personal experience and personality, from the "wandering feelings" felt during her study in France and the influence of Western Symbolist and Impressionist literary trends; On the other hand, it also comes from a special era. In the artillery mountains of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ai Qing traveled to the north and witnessed the actual suffering of the peasants in the north, which was in line with the tradition of the ancient nation of our country in feeling cynical and worrying about the country and the people. Therefore, this melancholy is soaked with the poet's extremely deep love for the motherland and the people, and it also shows the poet's faithfulness and profound thinking about life. But Ai Qing's melancholy is not negative, what it gives the reader is a "deep" force, showing his persistent pursuit of a better life and strong faith.
3. Ai Qing's poetry uses prose beauty to create a peak of modern free-form poetry.
Ai Qing's poetry is sincere in feelings, simple in language, does not seek the neatness of external forms, does not pay attention to rhyme, and is more free than some free bodies in the past. Ai Qing's poetry is a new achievement of the development of modern new poetry after nearly twenty years, so it has absorbed the extensive nutrition of modern new poetry in its growth. At this time, free-form poetry has developed greatly, both the practice of political lyric poetry such as Jiang Guangchi and Yin Fu, as well as the small poetry forms of poets such as Bingxin for reference, and more importantly, the new poetry has also undergone the promotion, exploration and introduction and practice of symbolist poetry, and he has also been widely influenced by foreign poets such as Whitman, Mayakovsky, Ye Suining, Porterle, Lanbo, and Ver harlan, so that the art has been greatly improved than the previous free-form poetry.
In short, he is good at accurately capturing feelings, and in the fusion of subjective and objective, he refines the vivid imagery of both form and god, making it a composite of feelings and reason, with multi-level associative meaning and broad symbolic space.
Most of his poems do not forcibly rhyme, nor do they pursue the uniformity of words, lines, and knots, but there are also a few poems that are unrestrained in appearance but focus on creating internal rhythms and melodies.
Make good use of figurative symbols, short sentences are lively and colorful, long sentences are imposing, simple and timeless, pure and profound.
Third, expand and extend
1. Poet's story
In 1931, when the "9.18" incident broke out, Ai Qing was studying in France. Like many young Chinese who studied in France, he was discriminated against and insulted in Paris. One day, when Ai Qing went to a hotel to check in, the hotel staff asked him for his name, Ai Qing said that his name was Jiang Haicheng, and the other party misheard it as "Chiang Kai-shek", so he immediately shouted away. Ai Qing was angry, and typed a "×" under the cursive character of "Jiang", and then took the local colloquial pronunciation of "Cheng" as "Qing", and filled in "Ai Qing" when checking in the accommodation. So Ai Qing became his pen name.
2. Classic quotes
(1) Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply.
(2) The people do not like lies, and no matter how pretentious and grandiose they are, they will not touch the hearts of the people. Everyone has a scale in their hearts to measure language.
(3) The pain and joy of the individual must be integrated into the pain and joy of the times.
(4) There is no eternal night on earth, and there is no eternal winter in the world.
(5) For our once dead earth, under the clear sky, has been resurrected! Suffering has also become a memory, and in its warm chest, it will be the blood of the fighters that will re-empt.
(6) A tree, a tree, stands alone with each other, and the wind and air tell their distance. But under the cover of the soil, their roots stretched out, and in the invisible depths, they entangled the roots and whiskers together.
Fourth, the method of reading
How to read Ai Qing's poems.
(1) Pay attention to the expression of poetry
Poetry, unlike prose, is generally written in separate lines, some rhyming, some free. The branches create a gap in the independence of the verses and a poetic blankness, reinforcing the rhythm and enhancing the expressiveness. Rhyming makes the poem have a phonological beauty, and the verses echo harmoniously in form, suppressing ups and downs, which is convenient for reading and remembering.
Ai Qing's poems are not limited to the shackles of appearance in form, and pay little attention to the rhyme of verses and the neatness of the number of words and lines, but often use regular arrangements to create a new unity. For example, in "Dayan River - My Nanny":
Dayan River, today I saw snow reminds me of you:
Your grass-covered grave pressed by snow,
Your dead Wafi of the eaves of your former home closed,
Your encumbred garden of one square foot,
The mossy stone chair in front of your door,
Dayan River, today I saw snow reminds me of you.
Using a series of comparative sentences, a series of tragic and desolate imagery are arranged. The tragic fate of the poor and miserable life of the Dayan River can be flashbacks unfolded.
She smiled and washed our clothes,
With a smile on her face, she carried the basket to the frozen pond on the edge of the village.
She smiled and cut the turnips of the ice chips,
She smiled and took the wheat grain that the pig ate with her hand,
She smiled and fanned the fire of the stove where the stew was,
With a smile on her face, she carried the dustpan to the square,
This series of comparative sentences reflects the strength of the Dayan River, without milk, it depends on labor to survive, but in the heartache but "with a smile", showing the tenacious vitality of the toiling masses.
(ii) Taste the language of poetry
Compared with the language of everyday life, the language of poetry is more concise and beautiful, and it is more conducive to the expression of emotions.
Ai Qing's poems often show the characteristics of simplicity and clarity, showing a prose culture and colloquial style, and the poems contain a large number of questions, calls, dialogues, quotations, etc., which greatly enhance the real sense and expressiveness of the poems. For example, the poem "Hope":
A seafarer said,
His favorite thing is what the anchor stirs
That white wave...
What pleased him the most was what was sent by the anchor
The clamor of the chains...
A hope to go
A hope arrives
The poem describes two "hopes" of seafarers, and these two hopes are different. The hope of "departure" is to praise the brave and optimistic spirit of seafarers in the face of stormy waves. This is what seafarers "like". However, the seafarers are more "happy" than "arriving", because arrival symbolizes victory, which is the result of the poet's greatest "hope" and an expression of longing for light. So "arriving" is the focus of the poem.
(3) Grasp the imagery of poetry
Imagery is something that contains the poet's subjective emotions in poetry. Poets always create expressive imagery that conveys unique emotions. To read poetry, we must understand the deep connotation of poetry through the imagery in poetry.
In the 1930s, Ai Qing's poetry reached a peak. During this period, the main imagery in his poems was "land" and "light", and his long poems "To the Sun" and "Torch" expressed the good wishes of expeling darkness, persisting in struggle, and striving for victory by singing praises to the sun and asking for torches. The poet is also known as the singer of "The Sun and the Torch". Take "The Sun" as an example:
Tombs from ancient times
From the Dark Ages
From the other side of the stream of human death
Shock the sleeping mountains
If the fire wheel flies above the sand dune
The sun is rolling towards me...
It shines with an unconcealable light
Let life breathe
Make the branches of the tall tree dance towards it
Let the river run to it with wild songs
When it came, I heard
The winter sting pupae rotates underground
The crowd spoke loudly in the open field
The city from afar
Summon it with electricity and steel
So my heart
Torn apart by the Hand of Flames
Stale soul
Abandoned on the banks of the river
I am convinced of human regeneration
Undoubtedly, the sun is a symbol in this poem. The realist theme of this poem is to evoke sensations from the symbolic object, the sun, to imagine, to seek pride, to condense into an image, and then to suggest. This symbolic way of writing is conducive to expressing the incredible longing and longing for life.
At the same time, as a symbolic expression, the poet organically groups a string of images with the sun as the core in anthropomorphic techniques, and the sun comes alive and humanized, and even rolls towards the poet and the world on which we depend. The world, including tall trees and branches, rivers, insect pupae, cities, etc., has also come alive under the poet's pen, moved, humanized, and warmly welcomed the arrival of the sun; And the poet's heart was actually torn apart by the "hand of flame" of the sun, replacing a soul, so as to symbolize the life that "should be like this", pinning the poet's passion for the future and the pursuit of light.
(4) Taste the emotions of poetry
"If the elements of poetry are removed one by one, then the last thing that remains and cannot be removed must be emotion." For example, Ai Qing's "Dayan River - My Nanny" is more like an essay written in branches. The poet's emotions are so true and mellow that they are invigorating. It can be said that expressing emotions is the main difference between poetry and other literary styles. As the famous "I Love this Land":
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land that has been hit by the storm,
This river of our sorrow and indignation that perpetuates,
This endlessly blowing furious wind,
And the incomparably gentle dawn from the woods...
--And then I died,
Even the feathers rotted in the ground.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
Because I love this land so much...
This poem is led by "what if", "hoarse" to describe the voice of the bird, and then continues to write the content of the singing, and from the singing before the death, the transcribes the bird's soul returning to the earth after death, and finally the image of the bird is replaced by the image of the poet himself, which supports the poet's sincere and fiery patriotic heart.
"Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply..." The author adopts a direct lyrical way to express his feelings for the land. It is as serious as the "oath" and as solemn as the "blood", very strong, and shocking.
(5) Experience the rational beauty of poetry
Behind the emotional beauty of poetry, there is often a rational beauty. For example, Frost's "The Road Not Chosen", on the surface, writes about the road in the forest, but in fact writes about the road of life; Choosing a different path refers to choosing a different path in life.
In his later years, through the precipitation of his bumpy life experience, Ai Qing created many philosophical poems: such as "Fish Fossils", "Bonsai", "Years of Lost Land", "Untitled" and so on. Take Fish Fossils as an example:
How lively the action is,
How energetic,
Jumping in the waves,
Floating in the sea;
Unfortunately encountered a volcanic eruption
It could also be an earthquake,
You have lost your freedom,
was sorted into dust;
How many billions of years have passed,
Geological SurveyOr,
Find you in the rock formations,
Still come to life.
But you are silent,
Not even sighing,
The scales and fins are intact,
but could not move;
You are absolutely still,
Unresponsive to the outside world,
Can't see the sky and water,
You can't hear the waves.
Staring at a fossil,
Fools also learned their lesson:
Leaving the movement,
There is no life.
To live is to fight,
Moving forward in the struggle,
Even if death,
The energy should also be exerted cleanly.
"Fish Fossils" is a philosophical poem. From the fish fossils, Ai Qing obtained the painful life insight summarized from the special experience he experienced, which has strong practical significance.
Once, an unprecedented political catastrophe robbed the poet of more than a decade for no reason. Therefore, we can see that the encounter of the fish in the poem is a certain symbol of the poet's encounter. Not only that, but the fish's encounter also symbolizes the common encounter of all intellectuals like Ai Qing who have been treated unfairly by society. The poet Xie Mian said: "This is not a story about the death of one fish, but a story involving different fish and having a common unfortunate and tragic fate... This is the superposition of personal encounters and the vicissitudes of the times. ”
The last two sections extend the portrayal of fish fossil images to the elaboration of the rules of survival and the philosophy of struggle, telling us that life comes from movement, and struggle shows survival, which is the eternal logic of life.
Based on the above five requirements, when we read poetry, we can use the reading methods that we are very familiar with - the reading method and the annotation method.
Fifth, wonderful appreciation

When dawn put on white
Ai Qing
Between the purple-blue forest and the forest
From the green and gray slopes to the green and gray hills,
Green grassland,
Green grassland, grassland flowing on
Fresh lotion-like smoke...
Ah, when Dawn put on her white coat,
How fresh the fields are!
see
Yellowish light,
It was trembling on the pole at its last hour.
see!
On January 25, 1932, on the way from Paris to Marseille
【Click】
The poem is about the scenery on the field at dawn and how you feel. At the beginning of the poem, the author carefully selects three color words "purple and blue", "green and gray" and "green", which outlines a clear and harmonious picture for the reader. On the basis of the above static depiction, the whole picture is brought to life with "flowing on the grassland". The use of "emulsion" to describe smoke, the freshness and flow of smoke are depicted, which can be described as a stroke of God.
Thus, at the beginning of the second verse, the poet seems to be unable to bear it, and praises it with a straight chest: "Ah, when the dawn puts on the white clothes, / How fresh the field is!" The closing sentence, "The yellowish light, / is trembling its last time on the pole", contains a profound philosophy, "dawn" symbolizes the power of new life, "light" symbolizes the power of decline, and the old things can not resist the footsteps of new things in any way.

handcart
In the area where the Yellow River flows
At the bottom of countless dried-up rivers
Take the only wheel
It emits a screech that makes the dark heavenly vaults spasm
Through the cold and silence
From the foot of this one
To the foot of that mountain
Boom
The sorrow of the people of the Northland
On days when the snow and ice freeze
Between poor hamlets and small villages
With separate wheels
Deep ruts carved into layers of gray-loess soil
Walk through vast expanses and deserts
From this one road
To that road
Intertwined
Early 1938
In early 1938, the poet came from the cold Wuhan to the bank of the Yellow River, where war was approaching, and wrote nearly ten simple and dignified poems, "Trolley" is one of them. The poem, which is only twenty short lines long, outlines a real heartbreaking situation. The whole poem does not have a single superfluous word, and every accurate and heavy word contains a sense of historical, painful reality, which is like the heavy wheel of a trolley pressing on the reader's heart.

I love this land
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
- And then I died,
Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
It is a lyrical poem that is widely recited. In the poem, the poet incarnates as a "bird" and "sings with a hoarse throat" and sings about our troubled country. It goes on to describe the objects of birds' singing—the land, the river, the wind, the dawn—all of which are images that have been hit by wind and rain for a long time, full of sorrow and indignation, and struggle to fight.
In the second verse of the poem, the poet's pen turns sharply and instead makes a close-up of "I", a static close-up of "tears in my eyes", showing that the emotions of grief and pain linger in the heart of "I" for a long time. The last two sentences are the essence of the whole poem, which is the confession of the most sincere feelings of all patriots to the motherland in that difficult era.

Lost years
Not like a lost baggage
You can go to the lost and found office to get it back,
I don't even know where it's lost—
Some of them disappear sporadically,
Some lost ten years and twenty years,
Some lost in the noisy city,
Some lost in distant wilderness,
Some are crowded stations.
Some are cold and clear under the small oil lamp;
What is lost is not like a piece of paper, which can be picked up
Pouring it is more like a bowl of water thrown to the ground
Dried and no shadow in sight;
Time is a flowing liquid —
With a sieve, with a net, can not afford to salvage;
Time cannot become solid,
If only it had to be fossilized.
Even tens of thousands of years can be found in rock formations;
Time is also like gas,
Like smoke coming out of the head of a speeding train!
Lost years like a friend,
Cut off the connection, endure some suffering,
Suddenly I got the news: talk about him
Long gone from the human world.
The poet was wrongly classified as a rightist in 1957 and forced to shelve his pen for more than two decades, and then wrote again in 1976. In this poem, he poignantly recalls his "bitter years of lost twenty years" of exile. In poetry, he compares time to lost objects, to pieces of paper, to gas, to liquids, to solids, and finally to a friend, who is no longer in the world when you think of him. Readers reading this poem, on the one hand, touch the author's inner pain, on the other hand, it will also arouse the feeling of "the years are hurried, the past is no longer", and remind themselves to cherish time and grasp the present.
6. Major works
Early creation (before 1938) – a shroud of melancholy and sorrow
"Dayan River - My Nanny"
【Background Exploration】
When Ai Qing was born, his mother had difficulty giving birth, and a fortune teller said that he had "ke" his parents, so he was discriminated against by his family as soon as he was born, and he was also sent to the Dayan River family for foster care. The adoptive mother Dayan River gave Ai Qing warm maternal love. Ai Qing was arrested and imprisoned in 1932, and a heavy snowfall in January of the following year reminded him of the desolate Dayan River, so he wrote this lyric poem with an autobiographical nature, praising working people and cursing the dark world.
【Keynote Appreciation】
The poem repeatedly lays out "she smiles" and "non-stop labor", on the one hand, highlighting the hardworking, generous and optimistic character of Dayan River, on the other hand, it also writes about the hardships she has paid for her home, and also permeates the poet's deep sympathy for her tragic fate. The poet uses the concrete and visual purple color to express his subjective feelings about the soul of the Dayan River, making the abstract subjective feelings concrete and perceptible, and expanding the poetry.
Coal Conversations
The poem was written in the spring of 1937, when the Chinese nation was at a critical juncture of survival. As a poet with a strong sense of responsibility, Ai Qing always thinks about how to use his poetry to awaken the people and make the people rise up to fight, so he created this "Dialogue of Coal".
Coal has been buried in the ground for a long time, ordinary and unknown, however, when it is on fire, it will burn and shine. The poet uses "coal" to write about the suffering Chinese nation, showing the inner spirit of the Chinese nation that is not willing to be humiliated and self-improvement, and expressing the poet's deep and warm love for the motherland and his strong desire for the rebirth of the motherland.
"Snow Falls on The Land of China"
In the 1930s, Ai Qing left his hometown in Zhejiang for Wuhan, a metropolis known as the epicenter of the War of Resistance, but did not see the scene of the whole people actively organizing the War of Resistance, and there were homeless refugees and homeless people everywhere, so he wrote this popular poem in a cold house in Wuchang late at night.
Through the depiction of the images of farmers, young women and mothers under the heavy snow, the poem shows the pain and disaster of the Chinese nation, shows the picture of old China, and expresses the poet's deep patriotic enthusiasm, deep sense of distress and pure heart.
Mid-term creation (1938~1978) - The pursuit of hope and ideals
"North"
In early 1938, when ai youth traveled through Tongguan, Shaanxi, he wrote this poem because of the poet Duanmu Hongliang on the Horqin grassland who lamented that "the north is sad".
"North" is more symbolic, it concentrates on Ai Qing's feelings for the "land", which is complex, both the melancholy in the face of the suffering land and the praise for the tenacious resistance of the people on the land.
"To the Sun"
In April 1938, shortly after Ai Qing returned to Wuhan from the war-torn north, he composed a long poem "To the Sun" with agitated and rich emotions.
By singing the praises of the sun, it expresses the good wishes of expelling darkness, persisting in struggle, and striving for victory. The sun dispelled Ai Qing's loneliness, wandering and sorrow, and recalled his childhood.
"I Love this Land"
This poem was written in November 1938 at a time when the country was in trouble and the motherland, which had suffered many vicissitudes, was being trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou.
The poem selects four distinct images of "land, river, wind and dawn" to express the theme of "loving the land and loving the motherland".
The Torch
In the late spring of 1940, Ai Qing left Shonan to teach in Chongqing. He thought of the countless young sons and daughters who threw themselves into the anti-Japanese struggle, so he wrote this long poem against the background of a torch parade that showed the great strength of the masses of the people.
Mainly through the portrayal of Downey and Li Yin, the daily life and struggles of the young girls who participated in the Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement are vividly displayed, showing their inner bitterness, pursuit and longing.
05
The Notice of Dawn
After the poet came to Yan'an from Chongqing, in this new world, the poet clearly felt that for a long time, the Chinese nation, which was in the midst of class oppression and national crisis, after experiencing the years of stormy struggle, the dawn that people prayed for was coming. The poet conveyed this message to the people with his own unique sensitivity.
In the tone of "dawn", the poem calls "O poet / rise up", so that all people who love life, all "villages and cities", are ready for the arrival of "pioneers of the day, messengers of light". The coming of the dawn will comfort all the oppressed and exploited toiling masses, and will vividly and profoundly reveal the meaning of the dawn. The "dawn" symbolizes the victory of the revolution and the liberation of the whole country.
Late composition (after 1978) – the sentiment of praise and singing
Fish Fossils
In 1978, Ai Qing returned to the poetry scene, and the long-suppressed emotions surged up, and he found an overflowing mouth in the fish fossil. The image of the fish fossil and the collision of thoughts in the poet's heart inspired the poet.
The poet is pouring out his own deep thinking that living people, living beings, are turned into "fish fossils."
The Mirror
Created after the Cultural Revolution, it is the product of the combination of the trend of the times and the poet's feelings. During the period when extreme "Left" ideologies were rampant, lying was regarded as a normal phenomenon. Lin Biao and his ilk openly preached that "great things cannot be accomplished without lying." By writing mirrors, the poet can reflect the physical attributes of people, and associates the world's mind.
On the surface, it is written as a mirror, but in fact, it is used to praise people who are as upright as mirrors and satirize all kinds of unrighteous phenomena in life.
"Hymns of Light"
This poem is the crystallization of Ai Qing's thinking on history, life and society under the guidance of "light" in the past twenty years, conveying his voice of dedication to creation after regaining his survival and creative power in the new era, and pinning his thoughts on the pursuit of light.
Praise the magical substance of "light", praise the social civilization brought about by "light", and socialism that is "as strong as light".

5. Ai Qing, formerly known as Guo Jia, Ke'a, Lin Bi, etc., was a Native Chinese in Zhejiang Province. Modern Chinese poet. He is considered to be one of the representative poets of modern Chinese poetry. The main works are.
6. Ai Qing was born on February 17, 1910 in the lunar calendar to a landlord family in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Because the family did not like the "parent" baby, it entrusted it to the nursing mother - adoption, but this woman loved him very much.
7. "Then I died, and even the feathers rotted in the ground. Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much... ——From "I Love This Land". Try to analyze how the author in this section pushes the full text to a climax?
Answer: In the second verse of the poem, the author's pen takes a sharp turn, from the above description of the singer's dynamics, to a close-up of "I". This is done in the form of questioning. "Why do I often have tears in my eyes" and "Tears in my eyes" such a static close-up shows that the emotions of grief and pain haunt "me" for a long time. "Because I love this land deeply", witnessing the reality of the broken mountains and rivers and the destruction of the people, the deeper the love for the motherland, the stronger the pain in my heart.
The last two sentences are the essence of the whole poem, which is the expression of the most sincere love of all patriotic intellectuals for the motherland in that era of suffering. This kind of love is unforgettable and unswerving, not only from the depths of the poet's heart, but also from the condensation of the universal patriotic sentiment of the whole nation. With these two poems, Ai Qing expressed the common voice of the sons and daughters of China in that era.
In the second verse, the poet shifts from borrowing a bird lyricism to a straight chest: "Why do I always have tears in my eyes?" Because my love for this land is so deep", too "deep" and too strong, the love of the land has made it difficult for the poet to appeal to words, and can only be condensed into crystal tears. The word "deep" may not reach the intensity of expression corresponding to the actual feelings, so the six heavy omissions that follow it seem to surge with undercurrents of fire-like passion, tapping the reader's heart even more heavily, arousing the reader's continuous resonance. The whole poem culminates in this question and answer, and the fiery, sincere patriotic feelings leave an endless afterglow.
8. If I were a bird, I should also sing with a hoarse throat: the land that has been struck by the storm, the river that will always rage against us, the furious wind that blows endlessly, and the incomparably gentle dawn from the woods... – from I Love the Land, in which the four objects of the birds' singing are described: the core of them.

21. What is the meaning of looking at the ocean with a smile in "The Reef"?
A: Obviously, this poem is not aimed at the reef, but is expressed by the reef. The images in the poem are symbolic. Like the waves of the reef "endlessly swooping over", it symbolizes those who persecute others; while the scarred but still standing, "smiling, looking at the ocean" reef symbolizes the tenacious, optimistic and confident people.
In the second stanza of the poem, the reader is presented with two opposing pictures. One is of the reef scarred, "like a knife cut"; the other is of the reef "but it is still standing there / smiling, looking at the ocean ...". Between the pictures, the contrast is clear. Here, with the help of poems such as "standing" and "smiling", the reef is given life, personified, and its long-term persecution of the waves is still strong, unyielding, optimistic and confident spiritual image vividly expressed.

02 "Selected Poems of Ai Qing" insights
If the so-called Chinese people have dreams, then China has dreams. Chinese dream is China's dream. If you talk about China's dream, you must talk about Ai Qing. This poem fully describes the dreams and destinies of a generation of Chinese poets, and with simple and vivid brushstrokes, the dreams of the people at the lowest level around them are vividly reflected. Such a manifestation of the Chinese dream is also a manifestation of the current situation at that time.
From the touching and profound "Dayan River, My Nanny", to the "To the Sun", which makes people feel uplifted to read, to the "Dialogue of Coal", which contains the writer's affection and always reflects his hope to contribute to the motherland, all reflect the poet's desire to wake up the world and hope to unite everyone around him and make a contribution to his motherland. And such a wish in that turbulent era was the Chinese dream of all Chinese people and the Chinese dream of all patriotic youth.
Someone once said that a hundred useless students are students. Because in the turbulent times, what is needed is not necessarily a pen to write Qianqiu, but more likely to be a martial artist dressed in a military uniform, draped in a ma ge shroud. However, they were wrong. Because it is precisely because of turmoil, precisely because of the instability of people's hearts, that we should have a common dream in such a day, and strive for such a common dream.
And Ai Qing, just rightly reflects the Chinese dream of all Chinese people in that era. He wrote all this out with a simple brushwork, and then let it all enter the hearts of all Chinese.
Each poem is infused with the poet's painstaking efforts and deepest hopes, representing his reflection and reflection on the world and the country in that dark era. Today, although we are in a peaceful and prosperous world, the dream in our hearts is indispensable. If a teenager has a dream, the country has a dream, and this is not an empty piece of paper. The proposal of the "Chinese Dream" has led everyone to seriously examine the eternal topic of dreams, and china has also begun to think about its position. After reading Ai Qing's selected poems, I have a new understanding of dreams, and found that in fact, no matter what, dreams are the things that people should not lack in their hearts.
The so-called dream is something that strives for with all your might. And for us students, it may be too far away to think about some big questions. What we can do is to study hard in such a good year and try our best to fight for our dreams. Then in the near future, become a real pillar of the country.
