Poetic characteristics

Tian Tian (1916-1985) paid attention to the militancy of poetry from the beginning of writing poetry. His "weimingji", "Chinese pastoral songs" and "stories of rural China" all show the suffering of rural areas. In December 1937, he published the long poem "to the combatants", which is his best political lyric. Fighting and reality are still the ideological characteristics of his long poem. The artistic features of this poem are: short sentences, strong rhythm, simple language, sonorous and powerful, and the whole poem has ups and downs.

Creative path

He was less than twenty when he wrote the works in his first poetry collection, the collection of unknown poems. Since the creation time is three or four years, the situation of these poems is also different. Most of them describe the fate of workers, farmers, soldiers and other victims, contain real feelings, and express the author's desire to resist, while some lack yearning and hope. In terms of language, most of the poems in the field were simple and clear. It can be seen that he pursued popularization and studied folk songs at that time, and a few poems were more obscure and Europeanized. However, regardless of the differences in content or language, these poems have obvious characteristics: starting from reality and doing something. As the author wrote in how I write poetry (Preface): "no lies, honest soul, dissected on papyrus,..." this is the exact self-evaluation of the characteristics of his early poetry.

The anthologies written before the war of resistance against Japan also include "Chinese pastoral songs" and "stories of Chinese countryside". "Chinese pastoral songs" intensively reflects the suffering and struggle in China's rural areas, and shows the author's increasingly deep concern for farmers. The mood of the poetry collection is stronger than that of "collection of unknown", which reflects that life is also richer. The author loves the countryside and cries out "field, my mother" (Note: Chinese pastoral song · sing to the field), yearning for the fresh and active vitality in the countryside. However, the war of aggression brought suffering to the rural areas of the motherland, especially in the northeast. The poetry issued a passionate voice calling for struggle: "in China, nurture, the flame of struggle" (Note: "Chinese pastoral song · song towards the fields of China"), "shoot, people in the northeast" (Note: "Chinese pastoral song · Songhua River"). The sentences of these poems are "burning", "rude" and "angry" (Note: Chinese pastoral poetry, my poem (postscript) ", which is full of protests against suffering and anger against aggression. The long poem "the story of China's rural areas", written in the summer of 1936, is divided into three parts: "hunger", "on the Yangtze River" and "going". With high emotion and excited language, it exposes and accuses the injustice in the rural areas: the hunger of farmers, the crying of mothers, the oppression of landlords and the killing of imperialism. The long poem symbolizes the motherland and people with the Yangtze River, calls on it to awaken and fight, and believes that "the spring of the people" will "come back on the road of fighting". When the Chinese people's demands for national liberation are rising day by day, the anger of the nation and the hatred of the class are reflected in the poetry. By praising the "peasant army" and "pinning hope on the Red Army" (Note: home, Anhui literature, No. 4, 1962).

Like some accomplished authors at that time, through these two collections of poems, the field presented his deep feelings to the countryside and fields of the motherland, and was concerned about the farmers' issue, the basic subject of the Chinese revolution. These two poetry collections also reflect that the author is better at expressing the passionate emotion and firm and strong fighting spirit, but there was still a lack of condensed and mature image at that time.

After the beginning of the Anti Japanese War, the author's life, thought and creation have made great progress. The ode to our times written in early 1938 (Note: preface to the collection of poems for the combatants) showed his desire to consciously create "full of emotion" good poems that can reflect the actual suffering and struggle for the soldiers defending the motherland, and further expressed his determination to participate in the actual struggle. Soon, he went to Yan'an. In the winter of the same year, he blocked money. Later, he lived and fought in the Shanxi Chayi border area for a long time. In Yan'an and the Anti Japanese Democratic base areas, the fields were "activists, initiators and adherents" of the street poetry movement at that time (Note: written on the last page of "to the combatants", see 1959 edition of "to the combatants"), and he wrote some influential works. Such as the once popular "volunteers".

Artistic achievements

After the founding of new China, field poems have a wide range of themes, which can be roughly divided into four categories: the performance of the Korean War and the front line of coastal defense, international friendship, the life of ethnic minorities and rural life. He has successively published copies of Anti Japanese war poems, a red flag, oath, selected short poems in the field, travels to Africa and so on. The long narrative poem "biography of driving a car" is a representative work of this period in the field. Through the process of poor farmers looking for a paradise, it depicts the arduous process of Chinese farmers' revolutionary struggle under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The artistic feature of this poem is that the structure is flexible. Except for the first and seventh parts, the other five parts are titled with five people's names. Each part takes a character as the center and forms an independent chapter, which is convenient for depicting the inner world of each protagonist. The syntax adopts the format of six words and seven words and three beats, which is crisp, rigorous and catchy. In addition to the narrative protagonist, the poet also created a lyric protagonist to chant, comment or condemn in each poem, so as to enhance the lyric effect of narrative poetry.

There are various forms of poetry in the field, including Xintianyou, new metrical style and free style. He has made some explorations in the nationalization and popularization of new poetry, and formed a lively and simple style with plain description and passionate call.

evaluate

The field is a rising star in the poetry world on the eve of the Anti Japanese war. The field has always been an active promoter of the street poetry movement from Yan'an to Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei. The street poems he wrote in this period, such as "if we don't go to war", are short and meaningful. In simple poems, they are full of hot flavor of the times and strong feelings of love and hate. With his distinctive artistic characteristics, he had a great influence on the development history of new poetry. When Wen Yiduo talked about his poems in the field, he took the street poem "more" in this poetry collection as an example, affirmed that the author was the "drummer of the times" in the Anti Japanese War, and pointed out that there was a positive "desire for life" in his poems, "Encourage you to love, encourage you to hate, encourage you to live, and live on this earth with the highest heat and strength" (Note: "drummer of the times - reading poems in the field", see the complete works of Wen Yiduo (III), Kaiming Bookstore edition, 1948).

As one of the pioneers of Chinese new poetry, the poet field has unique charm. Any Chinese reader who has at least national self-esteem can not be deeply shocked as long as he seriously and deeply reads the poems in the field, such as "if we don't go to war", which are made of the awe inspiring lofty integrity of the Chinese nation and the blood of innocent people.

He is a fighting poet and once had the reputation of "drummer of the times".

Appreciation of works

"If we don't go to war" -- field

If we don't go to war,

The enemy used bayonets

Killed us,

And point to our bones and say:

"Look,

This is a slave! "

"Freedom, coming to us" - field

Sad

Race,

We must fight!

Outside the window in September,

Asiatic

In the field,

Freedom——

From the blood side,

From the side of the brother's body,

Coming to us,

Like a storm,

Like a petrel.
