Perhaps, some people say that this kind of thinking is out of date, and today's young people are very realistic. Some boys said: "The most important thing in this society is reality (house, car, money). No, let alone find a suitable girlfriend. It's hard to find a girl who can make do. It sounds frustrating, but think about reality. It seems that all the romantic love that people have had in their minds has gone bad. Is it true love that only the rich can have? Poor boy, will you spend your whole life on Singles Day? Will luxury spoil true love? Is modern society really so realistic? "
However, some girls responded: "I don't think so. I think as long as two people really love each other, they can create these material things together, and they may also share them together. You don't have to have a house, a car and money. It's good to have it, but who says you can't be happy without it? Happiness is not directly proportional to housing, car and money, and it can't be compared. True happiness is spiritual, and material is almost enough. It's good to have bread! Hehe! "
In this realistic dialogue, it is still very important to explain a correct view of love. Because true love cannot be cut, as long as it is true love, what is the house and car money? Although the present society is very realistic, love still needs sincerity! Although many girls want to find a man with money, a house and a car, if it is not true love, it is boring to be together, and eventually they will cheat, divorce and be bitter! Regardless of men and women, regardless of family, career and emotion, their own efforts are the real success. Having your own career, a healthy family, cherishing each other with your lover and having your own true love is the greatest happiness. This is the real life! Remember: in this world, there are things that money can't buy!
I like Shu Ting's To the Oak. There are bright and beautiful images and meticulous and smooth thinking logic in the poem. This poem is not "hazy", but the poetic technique uses metaphor, partial or whole symbol, and rarely expresses it. The image expressed has certain fuzziness. Poetry is novel in conception and full of strong lyrical color; Exquisite language and distinctive personal style. The love it expresses is not only pure and hot, but also noble and great. It is like an old and fresh song, which touches people's heartstrings.
The poet takes the oak tree as the object, expressing the passion, sincerity and firmness of love. The oak tree in the poem is not a concrete object, but an ideal lover symbol of the poet. Therefore, this poem, to some extent, does not simply pour out one's passionate love, but expresses one's ideals and beliefs about love. It is expressed through a kind and concrete image, which is quite meaningful to the ancients.
What the poet wants is the kind of love that two people stand shoulder to shoulder and share weal and woe. The poet compares himself to a kapok, a kapok standing side by side with an oak tree. The roots and leaves of these two trees are closely connected. The poet's persistence in love is no less than the ancients' "I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and I would like to live together on the ground, with two branches in one tree." . Oak and kapok stand quietly and firmly. When the wind blows, swaying branches and leaves greet each other and they are connected. That is the language of their world, their inner harmony and silent understanding.
Two people are guarding it like this, two determined trees, two fresh lives and two noble hearts. A brave guard, every branch is always ready to stop attacks from the outside world and defend the world of two people; One is a passionate life, with red flowers, willing to cheer for him and light up his future when he is struggling. They share the threat of difficulties and the test of setbacks; Similarly, they enjoy the splendor of life and the magnificence of nature. As soon as this poem was born, oak and kapok became a group of symbolic images with brand-new character in China's love poems. The establishment of this group of images not only denies the old love description mode, but also transcends the principle of mutual love and is full of humanistic spirit: sincere and noble mutual love is based on their independent positions and personalities. This view of love is very ideological and artistic, and it is extremely heavy.
At the beginning of the poem, two assumptions and six negative metaphors are used to express my love view: "If I love you-/I will never be like a climbing flower,/I will show off myself with your high branches; /If I love you, I will never learn from spoony birds,/and repeat monotonous songs for the shade; /It is not only like a source,/It brings cool comfort all year round; /It's not just like a dangerous mountain peak. /increase height and set off dignity. /even sunshine/even spring rain. " -she doesn't want to climb on each other and show off her vanity by virtue of each other's greatness; Nor is it wishful thinking to drown in each other's indifferent shade and sing unrequited love songs alone. As a woman, she should be affectionate, considerate and gentle by default, but she thinks she can't stay in this affectionate state. She admits that bedding and foil can make the other person's image more prominent and powerful, but she feels that this function still does not express the full power of love. For each other, I want to offer the warmth like "sunshine" and pour out the affection like "spring rain"; This is the whole truth in love. But she was not satisfied with these: "No, these are not enough! /I must be a kapok beside you,/stand with you in the image of a tree. " The poet clearly shows that she is not an accessory, but a foil and ornament of the other party, and must stand on the same position as the other party-you are a person, I must be a person with the same spiritual temperament, you are a tree, I must be a tree, and when you stand, I must stand between heaven and earth equally. In short, the images of the two must be the same.
But this agreement does not mean bullying and squeezing each other, nor does it mean that there is no difference between the two, just for the sake of "roots, close to the ground,/leaves, clouds touching each other." /Every time it's windy,/we greet each other,/but no one/understands us. "Men and women in ideal love should stand side by side like oak trees and kapok, and convey and repay each other's love with the grip of roots, the caress of leaves and the mutual greetings in the wind. This is a couple who are hand in hand, and even a breeze can cause a thrill. They are soul mates, and no one can understand them. Kapok said to the oak tree and himself in a proud tone, "You have copper skin and iron stems,/like a knife, like a sword,/like a halberd; /I have red flowers,/Like a heavy sigh,/Like a heroic torch. "Obviously, kapok deeply understands the characteristics and values of her and the oak tree; They can't replace each other, but should give full play to their respective advantages. Here, she unabashedly praises the male beauty and masculinity of the oak tree, which is majestic and sharp; Also praised the flexible temperament of their own women: isn't that rich safflower a sign of youthful beauty and feminine beauty? However, why are all the red flowers of kapok like "heavy sighs"? We can feel the unique voice and emotion of this poetess: this voice bears painful scars, and this emotion is stained with sadness. At that time, many pains, hardships and struggles of society, relatives and individuals were melted in this kind of voice and emotion! This heavy sigh is so real that if you throw it on the ground, it will splash tears and blood spots!
Poetry expresses the poet's ideal view of love with novel and magnificent images and appropriate metaphors. The metaphor and peculiar image combination in the poem represented the new form of poetry at that time, which was of groundbreaking significance. In addition, although novel images are used in poetry, the language of poetry is not obscure, but colloquial, with fresh aura and subtle hints in novelty, giving people unlimited imagination. In the poem, the poet's personality ideal is warmly and frankly sung, and the oak tree and kapok, which stand side by side and face each other affectionately in an independent manner, can be said to be a group of symbolic images with brand-new character in China's love poems.
The image of "oak tree" symbolizes the dull beauty of men, while the kapok of "safflower" obviously embodies a new aesthetic temperament of female personality. She abandoned the delicate nature of old-fashioned women and was full of rich, vigorous and independent life breath, which was in line with the poet's ideal of pursuing women's independence and self-esteem.
The whole poem is bright, beautiful, refined, generalized and condensed, and the author uses the expression technique of quasi-materialization of lyric subject. The object of the poem is oak, but kapok. The style of writing is also unique. Instead of depicting the beauty and straightness of Kapok's appearance, it uses a series of subtle metaphors to compare Kapok's personality, characteristics, beliefs and ambitions from all angles. Then, psychologically, she further exposed her love view and described it from the personality characteristics. In the description, the two images of "sigh" and "torch" are compared, which further shows Kapok's plump personality. Then compare the images of "cold wave" and "fog" to contrast and render the typical environment of love images of kapok and oak. This shows kapok's love for oak trees in all directions. Clever artistic contrast, vivid image and implicit and gentle tone constitute the independent characteristics of the whole article. At the end of the poem, it is both empty and real, meaningful and philosophical, which opens up the theme, rationally sublimates kapok's love view, reflects the image symbolizing love with the light of ideal, and makes kapok's loyal and beautiful image more upright, so full, beautiful and vivid!
