Growing on a tall branch, swinging in the air with a smile,
Mom, will you still know me?
If you yell, "Where are you, son?"
I snickered there, but didn't say a word.
I will quietly open my petals and watch you work.
When taking a bath, my wet hair falls over my shoulders and passes through the shade of golden flowers.
When you go to the small courtyard of prayer, you will smell the flowers.
But I didn't know the smell came from me.
At lunch, sit at the window and read Ramayana.
When the shadow of that tree falls on your hair and knees,
I want to cast my little shadow on your page,
Right where you are reading.
But can you guess that this is a small shadow of your child?
When you take the lamp to the cowshed at dusk,
I'm going to suddenly fall to the ground again,
To be your child again, please tell me a story.
"Where have you been, you bad boy?"
"I won't tell you, mom."
That's what you and I were trying to say.
The Golden Flower is short in length, but rich in meaning. It shows the love for family and the beauty and sacredness of human nature.
If I become a golden flower, for fun, I will grow on a tall branch, swing in the air with a smile and dance among new leaves. Mom, will you know me?
The first paragraph is an imagination, "If I become a golden flower", which gives birth to imagination-a magical child and his mother "hide and seek".
If you yell, "Where are you, son?" I snickered there, but didn't say a word.
This passage expresses the feelings for the mother in a naughty child's tone and in a child's unique way, forming a picture of children playing. Why am I so happy, so naive, so lively and so lovely? Because "I" is bathed in maternal love.
[edit this paragraph] overall grasp
This prose poem makes us feel the deep affection between mother and son, the love between mother and son, such intimacy and intimacy. Why are children so happy, so naive, so lively and so cute?

[Edit this paragraph] Research on the problem
1. Why does the author imagine the child as a golden flower?
We in China like to compare children to flowers, and so do Indians. Tagore imagined the child as a golden flower, the most beautiful flower on the holy tree, praising the child's loveliness. Golden yellow reflects the brilliance of maternal love. People love flowers, and flowers also benefit people. This is a symbol that children want to repay their maternal love. Tagore's imagination is really novel and wonderful.
2. Why does the child turn into a golden flower and hide it from his mother again and again?
Look at what the child has done for his mother and you will understand his wishes. Children always want to do something for their mother and become a golden flower. They can watch their mother work, let their mother smell the flowers and project them to the place where their mother reads. Children know that maternal love is selfless, and the return to maternal love should also be selfless. He didn't want his mother to praise him, but asked her to live a warmer life. So he spoiled, that is, kept it from his mother.
Why did mom say "you bad boy" at the meeting?
As mentioned above, my mother cried and said, "Son, where are you?" You can imagine how anxious the mother who lost her child is. This kind of anxiety must be increasing with time. Once she sees her, she is surprised and happy, and naturally blames the child.

I. Introduction to the author
Tagore (1861-1941) is an Indian writer, poet and social activist. Born into a landlord family. Studying in England. 192 1 year, an international university was established in santini gaden. Writing in Bengali is rich in creation all his life. His early works include poetry collection Twilight, Morning Song and plays Monk and King and Queen. Since 1903, he has published novels such as Little Sand, Shipwreck, Gora, plays such as Mojidotara, Post Office, Oleander, and many poems such as Jitangjiali, Crescent Moon, Gardener's Collection and Birds Collection. He expressed sympathy for the miserable life of the lower classes and the miserable situation of women under British colonial rule, condemned feudalism and caste system, described the arbitrariness of imperialism and bureaucrats, and also reflected the conflict between bourgeois democratic thought and orthodox Hinduism. Poetry has a fresh style, a national style, but it is mysterious and sentimental. He is also good at composing music and painting. The song "The Will of the People", 1950, was designated as the national anthem of India. His creation has a great influence on the development of Indian literature. 19 13 was awarded Nobel Prize in Literature. (selected from the revised edition of Ci Hai 1999)
Second, the double interpretation of the Golden Flower (Liu)
The Golden Flower is short and rich in meaning, and it is the representative work of Tagore's collection of prose poems, The Crescent Moon. What is written is an imagination-"if I become a golden flower" (the first sentence), which gives birth to imagination-a magical child and his mother "hide and seek", forming an intriguing picture, showing family affection and showing the beauty and sacredness of human nature. Such pictures can be viewed from various angles and try to find out various meanings.
At first glance, what we see is a picture of children playing. The central figure in the picture is "me"-a clever and lovely child. On a whim, "I" became a golden flower and played with my mother three times a day. The first time I played, when my mother prayed, I quietly opened the petals to give off fragrance; The second time I played, when my mother read Ramayana, I cast my shadow on the page my mother read. The third time, when my mother went to the bullpen with a lamp, I suddenly jumped in front of my mother and returned to my original shape. "I" disappeared for a day, but I have been with my mother. "I" was naive, but I kept my secret, but his mother didn't know. Finally, her mother asked "where have I been", and he said "I won't tell you", which is a proud and well-meaning "lie". In detail, the strange behavior of "I" hides my attachment to my mother: emitting fragrance is a secret expression of my attachment to my mother; Casting a shadow on the page my mother read is a cover for my mother and a secret expression of my attachment to my mother. In short, "I" is expressing my feelings for my mother in a unique way for children.
Although the work is short, the plot is complete and there are waves in the plot development. The characters are shown in the development of the plot: "I" is naive and lively, clever and cunning, and kind in nature; Mother is quiet, pious, kind and loving. Kindness and kindness are the main melody melody of mother and son's character, but the "cunning" of "me" and the "deception" of mother are not harmonious with the main melody melody, resulting in some subtle changes and strong interest.
At this point, we have appreciated the rich and interesting poetry of this poem. However, if Tagore's poetry creation is limited to this, it is not a great writer Tagore; Tagore is superior to ordinary poets in that he can go further and deeper where the feelings and thoughts of ordinary poets stop, and enter the realm of wonderful enlightenment and "forgetting me". "Poetry is absorbed in the spirit, which will dry up and increase contempt" (Yan Yu's Poems on Canglang). If we go deeper and deeper into the golden flower, we will find something even more surprising.
In front of us, it turned out to be another picture of a fairy. The center of the picture is still "I"-a lively and lovely elf. This elf has omnipotent divinity. When it moves its mind, it becomes a golden flower; Golden flowers are in full bloom in the sacred trees of India. The poet chants this flower, which contains his devotion to God and creates a religious atmosphere. In addition, my mother is a devout religious person and keeps a calm and serene character, which also brings a little religious flavor to her poems. Elves can go up and down, swing at will, dance at will, blossom at will and give off fragrance at will. Finally, I moved my heart and became a person again. What it does has infinite freedom, which is by no means comparable to any human body. Of course, it not only has the ability of God, but also has the character of God-that is, the kindness and love mentioned above. Since this kind of kindness and love comes from a little god-a little god from the windy and dusty heaven, it is mysterious and noble. From this perspective, we can understand the theme of this poem and the poet's thoughts and feelings more deeply, which is to praise God. It turns out that the poet preaches love with religious significance-the noblest and purest love. Religious feelings enhance the feelings of poetry, and religious thoughts enhance the theme of poetry.
The significance of the latter picture deserves more attention. Most people can only really write about children's playfulness and intimacy with their mothers; Only Tagore can write the traces and psychology of the personified gods, and it is as light, ingenious and natural as running water. He writes oriental poetry and the mystery and implication of oriental culture. At this point, his poetry is also very different from western poetry. Although the western poetry world was influenced by religious thoughts and emotions in history, these thoughts and emotions gradually faded and alienated after entering the modern society. No famous poet has ever seen such an obsessive belief in God as Tagore, and praised God as the theme of his poetry creation. Because Tagore lives in a country where Buddhism is the state religion, he is a poet trained by oriental culture. Throughout Tagore's prose poems, we can feel a strong mysterious religious atmosphere everywhere. There are often immortal "scales and claws" in poems. Although the name of God is not specified, demonstrative pronouns such as "you", "he" and "she" usually indicate or imply the God to be praised. Therefore, it can be said that praising God is the basic motif of Tagore's poetry creation and the deep theme of Golden Flower.
Of course, we can interpret this poem only from the secular and secular theme, but it is superficial after all and does not meet the original expectation of Tagore's poetry; If we interpret it with the help of our understanding of religious feelings and thoughts (although we don't preach religion by this), the meaning of the work will become profound and profound, and we can almost grasp the feelings and thoughts of the poet.
I will quietly open my petals and watch you work.
A focused look is an expression of love for your mother.
When you take a shower, put your wet hair on your shoulders, walk through the golden flowers shaded by green trees, and walk to the yard where you pray, you will smell the flowers, but you don't know that the fragrance comes from me.
When you sit at the window and read Ramayana after lunch, the shadow of that tree falls on your hair and knees, and I will cast my little shadow on your page, where you are reading.
But can you guess that this is a small shadow of your child?
These three paragraphs use two "when you" to show that children receive maternal love and think about how to return it. Sending out fragrance is a secret expression of attachment to mother; Casting a shadow on the page my mother read is a cover for my mother and a secret expression of my attachment to my mother. He wants his mother to smell the flowers and read without hurting her eyes. Show the image of a naughty and sensible child.
When you took the lamp to the cowshed at dusk, I suddenly fell to the ground again and became your child again. Please tell me a story.
"Where have you been, you bad boy?"
How anxious the mother was when she lost her child. When she saw it, she was surprised and happy, and naturally blamed the child. This sentence shows mom's surprise.
"I won't tell you, mom." That's what you and I were trying to say.
The child is very attractive and happy that he can do something good for his mother, but he also hides something from his mother, which makes her puzzled. This sentence shows the child's coquetry and naughty appearance.
This prose poem makes us feel the deep affection between mother and son, the love between mother and son, such intimacy and intimacy. "I" is naive, lively, intelligent, "mysterious" and naturally kind; Mother is quiet, pious, kind and loving. Love is communication. From children's love for their mothers, we can think of mothers' love for their children.
"Golden Flower" is undoubtedly a work full of bold and novel imagination, and the poet borrows the imitation of "Golden Flower" to make the childlike heart look like an illusion.
Usually, when people write about a child's innocence and naughty, they can only think about how cute and naughty he is, how he spoiled in front of his mother, or deliberately said contradictory words to attract her more attention and concern.
Tagore's imagination is often unexpected, and he chose the metaphor of "golden flower" to deal with this common theme. Most great writers have this talent. They are good at digging out unusual miracles in what people take for granted.
The child wants to be naughty with his mother. He didn't use any other way, but simply turned into a golden flower on the branch, smiling and dancing, overlooking all his mother's work, so that her mother couldn't find him.
The child who becomes a golden flower doesn't want to be idle for a moment, and tries his best to make trouble and make fun of his mother. He wanted his mother to smell the flowers, but he didn't know that the fragrance came from her children. He wanted to cast the shadow of his golden flower on the page read by his mother, dancing with her point of view, but not letting her guess that it was the shadow of his own child. At dusk, the children who had had enough fun and trouble came down from the tree, fell in front of their mother and pestered her to tell stories. When the mother scolded him for where he had gone, the child replied mysteriously and proudly:
"I won't tell you, mom."
He is trying to hide the joy of naughty success!
Nothing is more lovely than a child's world. No one has a deeper understanding of childlike innocence than Tagore. This is the genius of a great poet.
