In childhood

Homesickness is a small stamp.

I'm at this end

Mom is over there.

When I grow up

Homesickness is a narrow ticket.

I'm at this end

The bride is over there.

We'll talk about it later.

Homesickness is a low grave.

I am outside

Mom, it's in there.

But now

Homesickness is a shallow strait.

I'm at this end

The mainland is over there

Make an appreciative comment

In the history of China's poetry, homesickness is the theme of thousands of poems. However, as a long-term writing theme, Yu Guangzhong may be the first person in the history of China literature. Among his many homesick poems, homesickness is undoubtedly the most popular and euphemistic one.

An inch square stamp bears the poet's childhood attachment, and the poet was comforted by his mother in the exchange of news. A narrow ticket carries the poet's love and snuggling for his lover; In the coming and going, the poet filled the emotional gap, and the taste is self-evident. A loess blocked the meeting between the poet and his mother. Where did the poet's heart go? That homesickness is an impossible dream! "This end" and "that end" finally moved towards a heavy separation, and the poet's heart suddenly sank into deep darkness.

In this strong emotion, the poet turned to the narrative of the present. Now, that shallow strait has become a deep scar of an ancient nation, a scar in the poet's heart, and a scar of millions of China people like the poet. The artistic conception of poetry has suddenly been sublimated here. That homesickness is not only the lovesickness and anguish in the poet's heart, but also the lovesickness and anguish of all people in China, Qian Qian. Therefore, poetry has profound symbolic significance. Isn't that mother a symbol of the motherland? Isn't that lover a poet's metaphor?

In The World, the poet succinctly extracted several simple images: stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits. These images are combined by simple words "this" and "that", which closely link people, things, time and space that are isolated from each other. If there is a distance and a connection, it will give people who are running around all day like lovesickness, separation and reunion a strong resonance, an unspeakable sadness and joy. As the poet said, "a vertical sense of history and a horizontal sense of region. The realism of the crossroads formed by vertical and horizontal intersection ",poetry takes the time sequence as the longitude and the distance between the two places as the latitude, which has its own fascinating charm in straightforward narration, causing people infinite sadness and endless acacia.

Poetry presents the beauty of decoration in structure and music in rhythm in art: it pursues lively expression in uniform sentence patterns; In the proper combination of images, the phonology of words is perfectly used, which makes poetry have the rhythm of music, full of twists and turns, singing and sighing. The poet sang his deep attachment to the motherland and ancestors with true feelings and musical language.
