This poem is also very particular about the use of punctuation. Almost every sentence is marked with a period, which is intended to limit the speed of language flow and make every sentence form an environment and a rugged and self-sufficient space. Like montage in movies, each picture is both related and relatively independent, which just shows the rugged landform of the source bed of the Yellow River and the poet's solemn, steady and lasting feelings.
Yao's Riverbed outlines the image of a giant lying on the riverbed at the source of the Yellow River with radioactive conception and infinite spatial sequence. This poem adopts the form of "self-report" from beginning to end, and the poet speaks instead of the river bed, which avoids the feeling of "isolation" when we read the poem and prevents us from feeling fresh superficial praise for "mother" and "cradle". When we read the first line of this poem, "I stepped down from Bayankala, a white-headed man", we have been integrated with the riverbed in aesthetic psychology, and the aesthetic distance has advanced with the perceptual progress of the poem until it disappears. This is the success of the poet's ingenious lyric technique.
In addition, the image composition of this poem is also very unique, both real and virtual, neither congested nor empty. The bald snow leopard is lying quietly in the eagle's castle, looking at me, such as towards the distant, the carriage of Tanggu people, and the hunter lurking in Zita Law, which gives people concrete visual stimulation. I am solid, generous and magnificent. I am a well-developed male beauty, I am a father, I show many faces all the time, I am a dizzy hurricane, I am a time and a monument. It is a fossil of palatine bone in the universe. It is the first emperor ","it is an immeasurable abyss ","it is a structural force, and it is a chi Dao.
Is an invincible goal, etc. , giving people an empty and illusory aesthetic feeling. Reading such poems, what we feel is not a painting, but the riverbed itself with texture and volume. Poets are full of thoughts, but they stick to the riverbed of the core image they sing like spokes, avoiding the aesthetic fatigue caused by complexity, and at the same time gaining the aesthetic enjoyment of "full of true strength and everything around". Among many poems praising the Yellow River, Chang Yao's Riverbed is really a unique rhyme and a great poem!
