The Cricket by the famous poet Liu Shahe is a masterpiece with many images, profound connotations and ingenious combination.

Formerly known as Yu Xuntan. 193 1 year1/month 1 1 was born in Jintang county, Sichuan province.
The title of this poem comes from the association with Taiwan Province poet Yu Guangzhong. 1982, Yu Guangzhong said in a letter to Liushahe: "Overseas, when you hear a cricket sound at night, you will think that you heard it in rural Sichuan." Four years later, Yu wrote two lines in Cricket: "Is it the man who ran away from childhood?" . "Call me back after forty years."

works appreciation
Xiang Xing
Xiangxing is an image without obvious artificial traces in works of art, and "Xiangxing is natural" is a silent nature. Its composition seems to be a purely objective object, which often has no obvious symbolic or metaphorical significance. It doesn't seem to matter whether a single image exists, but an image group composed of many single images has profound meaning.
There are many such images in that cricket, such as the Book of Songs, ancient poems, Mulan Ci, and the second paragraph of Jiang Kui Ci. From an individual's point of view, it doesn't matter if any of them are added, deleted or modified, but they form a very important image group, which shows that China has a long history and culture since ancient times, and the same historical and cultural background makes it live in different times.
In addition, in the last few poems, the post road, beacon tower, patio, battlefield, moon cake, sweet-scented osmanthus, pomegranate fruit, residual lotus, wild geese flying south, haystacks, Taipei alleys, rural Sichuan, dewdrops, fireflies, partridges and so on are all such images, which constitute the most basic image unit of the poem and are equivalent to the lyrical expression of the author.
Jingxiang town
Scenery, also known as artistic conception, is a whole composed of basic images, which is more breakthrough in time and space than basic images and has a strong sense of universe, history and life. The numerous images in the second, third, fourth and fifth sections of the cricket constitute four groups of images, namely four scenes. Readers can deeply feel the vicissitudes of China's history, vast rivers and mountains, great maternal love and constant unity.
Especially the third artistic conception is very beautiful and moving. The poet intercepted a very typical picture full of rich pastoral life in the way of two poets' memories, such as eating moon cakes, watching residual lotus, stacking haystacks and so on. In order to show the beauty of innocent childhood life, it shows that every China person's life experience may not be exactly the same, but giving birth to me and raising my family is a great and profound maternal love.
metaphor
Metaphor is an image constructed by metaphor and symbolizing the exploration of camels. It is the artist who reorganizes or deforms the objective image according to the mind with the help of certain artistic skills, so that the objective image becomes the carrier of the mind. Metaphor and symbolic images are loved by artists because of their great suggestibility.
Cricket is such a metaphor. Cricket is a small insect that people in China are very familiar with. It is also called cricket promotion or cricket cricket. It is loved by many people because of its belligerence and the sound produced by wing friction. But the cricket in the poem is no longer an insect in the general sense. Cricket is no longer restricted by time, space and politics. It can communicate the feelings of China people in ancient and modern times and on both sides of the strait.
The poet Yang Lian once said: "The whole structure of a poem is like a' magnetic field', a group of sculptures ... this is a vibration field, and each part echoes and participates in other parts." The whole melody or magnetic field is more important than a single image, and an image can only play a better role in the whole "field" Therefore, clever artists attach great importance to the combination of images, and cricket fully embodies the exquisiteness of this combination art.
