Reading poems: Consciousness and Wu Mei

What is the use of reading poetry? The four words I heard the most are "cultivating sentiment." Today, I am deeply doubtful about these four words. It seems that the poem's treasure bottle is equipped with beautiful and pure distilled water, which can make the soul contacting it. In fact, poetry is a spiritual world constructed by poets with colors and rhythm words, reflecting the worldview that he may not be sound. Among them, there are amazing improvement of quality, and it may be accompanied by serious defects. These will be reflected in him How can we "cultivate sentiment" in the poems? This statement is at least narrow.

Reading poetry is actually connecting with the poet, and perhaps you can know some aspects of the world and the times through poetry, but in the final analysis, the poets are the poets, the world and era in the eyes of the poet. In this sense, reading poetry is a direct and inherent way to know the poet. However, due to the age and experience of readers, poetry is not consistent with them: mature readers often talk to poetry, have skepticism and critical ability, and readers in growth are used to blindly recognizing and fully accepting. The so -called "cultivation of sentiment" is obviously greater for the latter's negative effects.

The object of poetry is college students. They are generally between growth and maturity, or on the way from growth to maturity. In addition to a few particularly excellent ones, most students still need to receive education and training. My purpose is to gradually let students form the ability to dialogue with the work, and learn the necessary skepticism and decent denial. If you also use four words to summarize the role of reading poetry, I think it is "knowing the truth". To know the truth, to understand the truth, enlighten beauty, and understand beauty. More often, you need to distinguish the complex situation of beauty and true in poetry: beauty transcends true, or true overwhelming beauty, or beauty and true formation of tension and reach a balance. Although I also value the aesthetic function of poetry, I still put the "knowledge" ahead to emphasize the understanding of modern Chinese poetry. coincide. Treatment of sentiment is more related to the United States. It can no longer express the role of reading modern poetry accurately. In this sense, I am willing to replace the "cultivation of sentiment" with "knowing the truth". "Reading Poetry Class" (July 2022, 2022) is the attempt to read the poem "Knowing the True".

I have started literary review lessons in 2009, and in 2016, I started writing "Hundred Years of Chinese Poems" (not published). In the literary review class, I analyzed the classic poetry in "Hundred Years of Chinese Poems" with students. Born. It can be said that the poems in "Reading Poetry Course" are screened after the selection of "Hundred Years of Chinese Poetry". The criteria for my choice is to understand and taste. The language does not understand or not, because it is obscure or not in place; it is not selected too much, because the charm is not rich, and there is no need to interpret or interpret the direction. The selected poetry themes include the theme of the father, the theme of the labor, the theme of love, the theme of friendship, the autobiography theme, and the subject matter of things.

The father's theme poems are selected more because I wanted to compile a poem reading book and collect a large number of modern Chinese poems to write a father. Although these poems are written in their father, they are different. Lu Dian's "Father and Me" was painted through the extremely daily scenes, reflecting the gratitude to his father. Li Shaojun's "Evening" portrayed the details of his father's dinner, reflecting his son's care for his father. These two poems are written from the perspective of their son. Ye Hui's "Jogging" wrote from her daughter to jogging with her when she was a child to grow up to the distance, full of a complex mood of a father's blessing and sorrow to his daughter. Zang Yan's "Introduction to Potted Plants" carefully wrote the mutual education between father and son, "educating you more means educating myself." These two poems are written from the perspective of their father. In Yang Lian's "Peking Opera Class", his father served as a narrator and provided his son with precious historical experience. In Yuan Shaoshan's "Cumberse", his father was both a member of the hardship and a worker who "raised the earth too many times". Even the blind man described in "A blind man loved his child" is also a deep father. These three capitals are not pure father's theme poems. They are closely related to society and involve complex historical context. Generally speaking, the poem of the father's theme helps readers to understand the lofty beauty of his father, and their strength, wisdom, dedication, and self -sacrifice.

As "Cumbersome Fugus" shows that his father is often combined with the workers. The poems of labor themes are Du Ya's "Capital Farm", Blue's "Wei Four Road", Xidu's "Spider -Man", and Movash's "Gift". The significance of "Cage Farm" is the dual attitude of sympathy and denial of the workers. "Wei Four Road" writes strange workers into the same person. "Gift" wrote a laborer's attitude towards the world, others is unusually awake and wise: "I don't want to possess the same thing in this world. I know that no one is worthy of my envy." Generally speaking, these labor theme poems It has a strong realist style and helps readers to understand the truth of the world.

There are many famous poems of love themes. I have chosen Li Shangyin's "Night Rain Sending North", "Autumn Song -Give warm", Gu Cheng's "In front of the door", Zhang Zao's "In Mirror", "Mirror", and the "Mirror", Haizi's "Happiness (or My Daughter is Poland)", Ye Zhi's "Being Old", Poso's "Have You". I do not doubt that this is the most beautiful language in the world, and they all originate from sharing of moving love. Such sentences and poems are clear and smooth. There is no need to explain, no demonstration, and just read it slowly. This is the beauty of "Reading Poetry Course" and the core object of Wu Mei. In modern Chinese poems, the poem of friendship seems to have become "rare varieties." Coincidentally, the poems of the two friendship themes of "Yu Hong" and "Egret" (6th) were written after the death of friends, and their friendship was based on writing. To the degree of soul resonance, the degree of fit in these two poems is not weaker than that of some love themes, especially from the two points of the dialogue between the background of mourning or the boundaries of life and death.

There are a lot of poems on the autobiography theme. I chose those poems that draw portraits or write a sense of existence. Tao Yuanming, who is under the fence of "Caiju, sees Nanshan", Du Fu, who is "what is the floating, the sky and the sand gull", "the clouds flowing the water, a solitary monk, and the no reason for no reason and crying for no reason." Chang Yao, who sit alone "," split self "Gidimada, so and so on. Generally speaking, the ancients of the ancients are more harmonious, and modern people are often lonely, divided, anxious or painful. Maybe this is caused by the pursuit of more independent and free and better life. This kind of poem is generally a category of knowledge, which may be beneficial to readers to construct a perfect self.

In addition, there are some difficulty categories, such as "Ice Fisherman", "Fish Basket Order", "In Hawthorn Forest" and "African Hospital". Poems, but have strong lyricism, maybe it can be called modern lyric lyric poems? Among them, Wang Jiaxin's "Ice Fisherman" and Chen Xianfa's "Fish Basket Order" are written in fish, but the style is very different. In "Ice Fisherman", the fish is the object of fishing. In fact, the poem is written by ice fishermen, cold -blooded fishermen, and tragic manufacturers. In "Fish Basket Order", the fish basket Tools, the owner of this tool is directly called the poet as the "sister -in -law". Both poems write the deep sympathy of the poet's fate of the fish. "Ice Fishing" is engraved with fine carving, and the authenticity of daily violence overwhelms the poet's aesthetic expectations; "Fish Basket Order" shows that the fish may not escape at all. These two poems with the theme of fish reveal the tension between animals and humans, and belong to the poem of true truth. Sun Wenbo's "In the Hawthorn Forest" is a very beautiful poem, which can be called a praise poem dedicated to hawthorn. It shapes the beautiful image of hawthorn in a clear and gentle language, showing another relationship between people and things, and it even reminds me of love between people and things. "The Courtyard" is a poem of unique memories. Nostalgic works. Poets write the nostalgia for childhood in the courtyard of the courtyard of the local characteristic national style. And the sentence in the poem describing the sentence "Zhang Wang, once again improved the wall" to form a tension.

"Reading Poetry" can be called an improvisation of classroom. It retains a lot of unexplainable and clever performances, and also retains the kind of repeated detour's expression in spoken language. The consistency of the criticism style is promoted. I think this pair of poems and the true beauty in the poem should be inspired.
