The earth returns to September. Climb the mountains in September.

The mountains embrace the flowing water and water protects the flowers. The flowers bloom look forward to the arrival of butterflies. The butterflies come to accompany the breeze. The breeze touches my heart and I cherish the earth.

I.parse

‘The earth returns to September in September and the mountain climbs in September': The earth returns to September in the world. September is also called late autumn, the frost moon, the remaining autumn, and the alternation of summer and winter, which leads to a desolate scene. Autumn begins early at high places, and you can see more autumn from the high mountains.

‘The high mountains embrace the flowing water, and the flowing water protects the flowers from blooming': The high mountains surround the stream, and there are flowers blooming beside the stream. Autumn has arrived, and most of the flowers have withered. Flowers in low areas and by the water will feel autumn later.

‘Flowers bloom, and butterflies come to accompany the breeze.': When flowers bloom, there will be butterflies, and in the breeze, they will add vitality to the quiet autumn in the mountains. Introducing a subtle sense of movement to the image

‘The clear wind blows hard on my heart, and I cherish the earth in my heart: mind = body, the wind blows on the limbs of flowers, grass, butterflies and other things in the mountains. Before all things are about to wither, they all remember the earth very much."I" cuts into the protagonist, and the picture changes from natural scenery to the character's inner feelings. You need to go back and read the poem again to understand it deeply.

The poem uses"sun""，"earth"，"mountains"，"running water"，"flower"，"Butterfly"，""Breeze" is the most beautiful thing in nature to describe autumn. There is a sense of regret, and September makes them look even more desolate.

II.Extension:

The scenery description is only the surface layer, the second layer tells a story

""Earth" is a metaphor for life,"Hui": go home. Go home, the harvest season in September, giving a satisfying sense of home. Hui, another September in another year in time."Climb": go up, be promoted to The next stage in life is to be energetic and proud of the world.

""Hug" and"protect" are like the embrace and love of lovers."Mountain" symbolizes a man's responsibility, just like Tao, and"flowing water" represents a woman's tenderness, just like Li Xiuyan. Flowers bloom in the mountains and beside the water, and"flower" symbolizes them love. Daozhi loves Li Xiuyan very much, and Li Xiuyan cherishes this love.

""Butterfly" means beautiful hope, their hope for the future. Only with love can the lives of Dao Zhi and Li Xiuyan be full of vitality and hope. The breeze contains a coolness, just like the sadness caused by parting. Butterflies in the wind, it is Because there is hope for separation, the sadness of separation fades away in hope.

The love and hate in life, separation, experience our growth and make us cherish life more. The quality of life is determined by the development of the country. Expressing love for life and feelings for the country.

Under the autumn scenery on the first floor, the positive emotions of the characters on the second floor are expressed through symbolic techniques, a sincere love, and a love in a story.

Story From the novel"The Past of Dao", the male protagonist Daozhi wandered abroad for 10 years, returned to China, and fell in love with the female protagonist Li Xiuyan, but Li Xiuyan is about to go abroad, leaving love and a sense of desolation (through the first layer of nature) The autumn comes to set off), the sun melts their sorrow, and there is only a touch of sadness in the beautiful hope. Although Daozhi loves Li Xiuyan very much, he encourages Li Xiuyan to study abroad. He does not selfishly possess their love, he He hoped that Li Xiuyan could understand the world and improve herself. He did not choose to accompany him. Just as Dao Zhi said in the novel, he wanted to stay in the country for a while. He had the country in mind and hoped to participate in the country's process of great changes.

The name of the poem"Sun" connects these two layers. The sun warms the earth, and at the same time it also represents the optimism in their hearts.

III.Features

1. Formally, each sentence of the poem is repeated from beginning to end, making the poem more closely connected and expressing emotions in a cyclical way. Of the repeated words in the poem, the first is passive, and the second expresses state (for example, the first September is to the ninth month, the second September is in this September, the first flowing water is flowing water, the second is the state of water flowing, etc.), there are no punctuation marks in the poem, there can be no punctuation, because the poems are interlocking, spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, there is no end, it is always in a cycle. Hope is eternal at the deep level, just as it is said in"Xiao Shengke's Redemption","Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world, and good things will never disappear." 2. The first layer of poetry is mostly silence description. The second level, moving, people's inner feelings are clearly expressed through the verbs in the middle of each sentence,"hui" = return, go home,"climb" = climb,"hug" = hug,"protect" = love,"Hope" = expectation,"companion" = companionship,"experience" = experience,"huai" = cherishment, and nostalgia are all actions that are unique to people's emotions. The last sentence of Tao's heart 'caring for' the earth (country) and returning to the country echoes the first sentence of 'returning'.

3. This is a typical symbolist poem, but the last sentence has a touch of surrealism, subconsciously expressing their belief in a better future.

4. The poem comes from the novel"The Past of Tao I" by Wei Zhen Will Nox. The novel begins with poetry. Poetry represents idealism. The novel is idealized but not deviated from reality. There are six and a half poems in the novel, including three surrealist poems by French poet Jacques Prévert (1900-1977) translated by Wei Zhen Will Nox, namely"Jardin")，《"Le Cancre" and"Alicante". There are also three and a half poems by the author. This"Sun" appears at the front of the novel for the first time and is the core of the novel. The second time it happened was after going through some twists and turns. In September, Li Xiuyan was going to study in England. Daozhi took Li Xiuyan to appreciate the mountains and rivers of his motherland. The last stop was at an apricot blossom forest where he had been in high school. They climbed to the top of the mountain and wrote what they felt. The name of the poem"The Sun" is that Li Xiuyan and Dao Zhi chose the same name for the poem by coincidence. There is a connection between the hearts of people who truly love each other.
