Yaxian, whose real name is Wang Qinglin, 1932, is from Nanyang, Henan. He joined the army when he was young, and then transferred to Taiwan Province with the national army. After graduating from the film and drama department of the Political Cadre School, he served in the Marine Corps. Yaxian was invited by the University of Iowa to study in the International Creative Center for two years. Then I went to the University of Wisconsin and got my master's degree. He is the editor-in-chief of Genesis, Poetics and Little Lion Literature. The most famous collection of poems is Abyss. His writing career is only over ten years, leaving less than 90 poems, but so far many excellent works have been praised.

Enjoy Yaxian's red corn together.

note:

1. Yaxian, the spoken pronunciation of which is "xuán" (as they are all called, just like Ji Xian's string), is one of the Three Musketeers of Genesis (Love, Zhang Mo).

2. Xuan Tong, 1909-19 12.

Cousin, my sister reads "jiě". Why do you pronounce it like this? Because the poet himself reads it this way, of course, he does have this pronunciation.

4. Call you elder brother gourd and elder brother slug.

5. Rolling copper rings over columns and rolling copper rings and rolling iron rings are toys and entertainment for children in the era of material shortage.

6. For my daughter who was born in the south, the word "land" is "de" and pronounced "de", but the poet reads "land" and uses "land" when using personal pronouns.

7. The Belgian poet Valhallen (1855- 19 19) paid attention to rural farming. But he can't understand the melancholy in northern China.

"My hometown is far away. When will I go?" Yaxian, a native of Henan, left his hometown because of the war, and often misses his hometown in his poems. Ya Xiancai of 1958 is 26 years old, but he says "I am old" because "under the roof of memory".

In terms of time. It is said that this poem was written in 1957 65438+February19, spanning three time and space. Grandparents-Xuan Tong-1958, this is the era of memory. People seem to be in the trend of the times and witness feudalism, revolution and war with their own eyes. This sense of time is like My Family Name written by Bao Dao poet Xiangyang (the poet Xiangyang is a well-known poet now).

In terms of image. Xuan Tong, private schools and Jinghua have a subtle sense of memory of the times; Red corn, donkey, mulberry, suona and buckwheat fields, called brothers, all have a sense of life in northern China and rural Henan.

Rhythm. The repeated sentences such as The Wind Blowing in Xuantong Year, The String Blowing Red Corn and Hanging Red Corn give this poem a kind of rhythmic beauty, just like those lost memories are still lingering in my ears.

Childhood poets must be naughty and playful, so they are educated by teacher Xue's ruler and like to tease slugs and roll copper rings. This is a carefree and free childhood, and everything in the countryside is so beautiful and quiet. No one will think of "after three months of war" and "breaking the tune of rainbow skirts and feather coats"
