The meaning of reading poetry needs no further words, but how to choose one suitable for children to read in the vast sea of Chinese and foreign poems? This is a conundrum.
The poems written by Tagore are very suitable for children to read, how can this be said? Don't worry, and listen to the poetry slowly.
We all know that Tagore was a great Poet of India and the first person in Asia to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. As a pure poet, his poetic title has transcended his borders.
In his works, the respect and love for children are reflected everywhere. Reading his poems can make people get a refreshing sense of beauty, especially the "New Moon Collection", you can feel an ethereal and ethereal beauty, a leisurely and unforgettable beauty, which is the beauty of innocence.
Foreign Language Edition of The New Moon Collection
Tagore created a child's spiritual world as beautiful as a crescent moon. Zheng Zhenduo wrote: "Like Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, the New Moon Collection has an unpredictable magic, as soon as it is turned over, it is immediately like two magic wings, which can make it fly to the beautiful and innocent children's country." ”
Tagore believed that the essence of the world is love, and women and children are the embodiment of love. And the child's love for the mother is the most sincere and simple.
In the "New Moon Collection", the first thing is to show the love of children for their mothers. This kind of love is the outpouring of the child's innocent nature, as crystalline as dewdrops and as brilliant as stars; as natural as a mountain spring, and as harmonious as the petals bloom. Through the novel and lively imagination of children, the poet has produced a kind of seductive charm.
In the child's mind, the mother is bright and loving, and the image of the mother is a smiling, round moon, which can be caught as long as you stretch out your hands. (The Astronomer)
In "Clouds and Waves", it shows the child's deep attachment to his mother, and this emotion cannot be taken away by any temptation.
The child hears that the people who live in the clouds and on the sea are calling him, inviting him to sing, play, and travel, but he does not want to leave his mother, he wants to do "better games" with his mother, he wishes to be a wave of joy, laughing and smashing into the lap of his mother as a shore.
In the "New Moon Collection", it also shows the child's love for nature, and this love, like the flute under the moon night, produces beauty that is so quiet and pure.
Reading "Banyan Tree", we can see how children are intoxicated in the embrace of nature, accompanied by nature, and play with nature. He wants to be the wind, blowing through the branches of the banyan tree; he wants to be the shadow of the tree, on the surface of the water, growing with the daylight; he wants to be a bird, perched on the highest part of the tree... A banyan tree is enough to make the child mesmerized, and the idea of harmony between man and nature is fully reflected here.
What is shown in "New Moon Collection" is an ideal kingdom. It is really because of having children, with innocence, that the world is not desperate. It is for this reason that Tagore prayed deeply for the children:
Bless this little heart
This pure soul
He is for our earth
Won the kiss of heaven
……
Don't forget him in your busyness anymore
Let Him come into your heart and bless Him
- "Blessings"
"New Moon Collection" comes from the child's heart, praises the child's heart, summons the child's heart, worthy of being a gorgeous "zhiwen", human beings do not perish, the child's heart is not lost, it will always give people a force for good.
It is also worth mentioning that Tagore has a relationship with modern Chinese poetry and even modern literature.
In 1913, Tagore (1861-1941) became the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he took a unique national culture to the world, so that the Oriental literature that had been in a state of aphasia received the attention of the West.
From then on, Tagore's ideas and literary works began to spread in China. The main representatives of modern Chinese poetry, such as Zheng Zhenduo, Guo Moruo, Xu Zhimo, etc., have all had exchanges with Tagore, and Tagore has played an inspiring and promoting role in the late Development of Chinese literature and modern poetry in transition.
Zheng Zhenduo is a famous Chinese writer and poet, who founded the Literary Research Society during the May Fourth Movement with Mao Dun, Bingxin and others, which is an important group of Chinese literary circles to communicate with Tagore, and Zheng Zhenduo himself is one of the main translators of Tagore's works. During Tagore's visit to China, he personally participated in the welcoming activities and published many enthusiastic texts, and in terms of literary thought, he accepted Tagore's "art for life" proposition.
During his study in Japan, Guo Moruo came into contact with Tagore's poetry collection, and in his poem "The Creator", the ideas expressed in it have similarities with Tagore. He saw creation as the supreme cause, "I knew God was coming, and I was going to work hard to create." This is very similar to Tagore's devotion to the Creator.
Xu Zhimo was also an admirer of Tagore and had a deep friendship with Tagore. During Tagore's visit to China, he was accompanied and translated by Xu Zhimo, and a deep friendship was established between them. The Crescent Society founded by Xu Zhimo is said to be from Tagore's "Crescent Moon Collection". Xu Zhimo pursues the health and dignity of life, which is in line with Tagore.

Even in 2015, when the latest version of Tagore's poetry collection translated by Feng Tang was listed, the huge controversy and attention caused by it verified tagore's far-reaching influence in China.
In short, Tagore's dialogue with the early days of Chinese modern poetry not only injected foreign cultural factors into the embryonic period of Modern Chinese poetry, but also stimulated the vitality of thought, leaving a good story in the history of the development of modern Chinese poetry and modern literature.
