No. 82 of Tagore's "Birds", original English text: "Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves." Zheng Zhenduo translated it as "Let life be as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." Why is it said "Life is like summer flowers" "Woolen cloth? Taiwanese writer Luo Lan once wrote in the essay "Summer Suite": "Summer flowers are different from spring flowers. Summer flowers have strong vitality. If spring flowers bloom because of the comfort of the wind, then summer flowers bloom because of the warmth of the wind. "Inspired by the sun." "Born like summer flowers" is precisely because summer flowers have a gorgeous and prosperous life. They bloom in the sunniest season, like running, jumping, and flying spirits of life, to interpret life. of brilliance. Of course, another meaning of "living like summer flowers" may be to reveal the short and hasty life. Pu Shu expressed his understanding of this in his song "Life is like a summer flower": "As short as a sudden surge / As gorgeous as a summer flower / I am this dazzling moment / I am a flash of flame across the horizon." Summer flowers, flames, and glimpses are all different in beauty, but equally short-lived, and so is life. Another poem by Xi Murong, "Beautiful Mood", is also deeply emotional: "Life is a speeding train...all the moments are rushed and blurred/unless you can stop/look back from a distance." But time never stays for someone. Youth is like poetry and time is like song. When life goes through vicissitudes and the sweetness of the past becomes a memory, life is about to reach its end. One cannot save life from fading, just as one cannot prevent a flower from withering. Hence, another line from Rabindranath Tagore's poem "Death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." Qu Yuan, a great poet in ancient my country, described the beauty of autumn leaves incisively and vividly: "The autumn wind is blowing in the wind, and the waves in the Dongting are under the wooden leaves." Taiwanese writer Yu Guangzhong also described the beauty of autumn this way: "Autumn is surrounded by the sky of turquoise above and the clear Prussian blue below. When the wind blows, the leaves of the maple forest roll over the fragrant and bright sunshine, as if they have overturned "The agate of the box." Comparing the original terrible death to the silent autumn leaves shows the generous feelings of the poet Rabindranath Tagore. Since beauty cannot be preserved after all, we should not just regret it, but cherish it. "The butterfly counts/not the months/but the moments/the butterfly has plenty of time." The poem reflects the poet's open-minded and peaceful attitude towards life. "Death is as quiet and beautiful as an autumn leaf" is not as tragic and heroic as "Heavier than Mount Tai", nor is it as humble and trivial as "Lighter than a feather", but it has an understanding of the laws of nature and the laws of life, and a wise man's understanding of the vast universe. The precise positioning of smallness itself. Using summer flowers as a metaphor for life and autumn leaves as a metaphor for death are actually a common cultural psychology that spans time and space. Life is like summer flowers and death is like autumn leaves. It uses poetry to explain life and turns life into a beautiful poem. People who can understand poetry and life in this way undoubtedly have great wisdom and courage.
