Children-father-grandfather, the three images show not only three generations, but also countless generations, which are the embodiment of the life track of farmers from generation to generation in China, and each image is highly summarized. The meticulous observation, profound thinking, ingenious writing and strong aftertaste are beyond the reach of other poets. This alone, the achievement of Cang Kejia, a "peasant poet", goes without saying.
Cang Kejia is always attracted by the natural scenery of the countryside. As long as the conditions are met, his inspiration will come easily, so one excellent work will come out. 1942, he finished Song of the Earth, which is Cang Kejia's most important work besides the satisfaction of the brand and the poet himself.
After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, poets and writers reflected on their own creation-empty enthusiasm disappeared, high-profile cries became hoarse, and some poets and writers returned to familiar themes, looked at old themes with new aesthetic eyes and wrote new works in the new era.
Extended data:
Cang Kejia put great emphasis on writing only what he is familiar with, which is a major feature of his realism. On the relationship between "the needs of the times" and "knowing yourself", he emphasized the familiarity with the subject matter. Of course, with the changes of the times, poets should be familiar with the new and unfamiliar life in the past, which is complete realism.
In his preface "A War in the Middle" for Song of the Earth 1946 edition, he said: "When can I stop worrying, grieving and angry about their tragic fate and sing such ugly songs? When, let me sing a happy and liberated song for them-China farmers, in truth, just like they sing a sad song? "
He was familiar with farmers in old China, so he wrote about farmers in old China. But he also longs for new people and a new world.
