How did Yu Guang s life story and works influence you?

I think Leonardo da Vinci had a big influence on me, and I was born in the village of Chiano, near the town of Leonardo da Vinci near Florence, Italy. Leonardo da Vinci was born out of wedlock, and his childhood was spent on his grandfather's estate. As a child, Leonardo da Vinci was intelligent, hardworking, studious, and had a wide range of interests.

He sang very well and learned to play the lute very early. His improvised singing, both in terms of lyrics and tunes, is stunning. He was particularly fond of drawing and often painted for his neighbors.

He was called a "genius of painting". Leonardo da Vinci's family was a well-known family in Florence at the time.

His father, Pierrot, wanted Leonardo da Vinci to become a lawyer like him. However, due to one thing, Pierrot changed his mind and decided to let Vinci learn to draw.

After the poetry and literature were completed, Finch invited his father to his room. He halved the window and erected an easel, and the light shone on the monster. When Pierrot first entered the room, he saw the hideous monster at a glance and screamed in horror.

Little Finch smiled and said to his father, "Please take it." This is the effect it should have. From then on, Pierrot was convinced of his son's talent for painting and sent Vinci to Florence to systematically learn the plastic arts from the famous artist Rocchio. Leonardo da Vinci was only 14 years old at the time.

The original painting by Rocchio in Venezuela was a famous art center in Florence at the time. Italian humanists often gathered here to discuss academic issues. Leonardo da Vinci established a large group of famous humanists, artists, and scientists here, and began to accept the influence of humanism.

Leonardo da Vinci was 20 years old and had a high level of artistic attainment.

He uses a paintbrush and a carving knife to show the truth, goodness, and beauty of nature and real life. He enthusiastically praised the happiness of life and the beauty of nature.

Leonardo da Vinci was not satisfied with these talents. He must master all areas of the human mind. He has a unique vision, a capable work, and an artistic soul. Once, he got lost in the mountains and came to a dark cave.

He later recalled the experience, saying, "I suddenly had two emotions – fear and longing: fear of the dark cave and wanting to see if there was anything strange in it.

He was bound by these two emotions all his life – he was afraid of the mystery of life that was unknown or undiscovered, and he wanted to expose, study, explain its meaning and paint its splendour. He made up his mind early on to become a researcher, a teacher, and especially an artist. So there is a big impact

His work and life story have had a great influence on me.

I think his life story is very good.

Everyone's experience is different, and his work has a different impact on people.

Because men aren't bad, women don't love, and that's a good reason.

In fact, there are still many kinds of influences.

The poems in the afterglow have different characteristics in different periods:

Rhythmic period.

1949-1956) is represented by "The Tragedy of the Boat", "Blue Feathers" and "Heavenly Night Market". Most passages are two or three paragraphs, each with four lines and two or four sentences in rhyme.

The gestation period of modernization.

1957-1958) The spine refers to the second half of "Stalactites" and the Xiluo Bridge. Begin to derive long and short sentence patterns.

The period of modernization in the United States.

1958-1959) represented by Halloween. The University of Iowa's writing training and art courses inspired Yu Guangzhong's exposure to modern art, and he generally absorbed Western **, and his works had a tendency to be abstract.

Period of Nothingness. 1960-1961) represented by the first half of "Sirius" and "Wuling Boy". In the afterglow of this period, the illusion of a hero was created in the melancholy and pale of Westernization, and it was impossible to ask for warmth from tradition.

The works often reveal the general mourning of the end times, but they can never be separated from tradition, and there is a "vacuum feeling".Sirius is not only the helplessness and emptiness of an individual or a poetic world, but also the suspicion of a culture and a nation about tradition and the suspicion of accepting external impacts.

Neoclassical period.

1961-1963) is represented by the second half of "Wuling Boy" and "The Association of Lotus". Whether it is in the mutual relief of the text, the contrast between the single-track syntax and the double-track syntax, and the collapse and trembling between neat segments and irregular branches, "The Association of the Lotus" pushes the lyrical tradition of Chinese literature to another peak with a dualistic approach.

Go back to the modern Chinese period.

1965-1969) represented by "Percussion" and "In the Cold War Years". The analysis of the self, the metaphysical theme, the two-sided exploration of the same theme, and the contrast between sex and the defeat of the war group are all profound. Skill and thinking reach the peak.

Folk style period.

1970-1974) represented by "White Jade Bitter Melon". The work absorbs the romantic spirit of rock music, and faces the current reality with the national consciousness of returning to the homeland. In the afterglow of this stage, he also broke free from the confusion of "who am I", and promised himself as a "night watchman", looking forward to his eternal poetry through the suffering of life.

A period of exploration of history and culture.

1974-1981) Represented by "Tug of War with Eternity" and "Guanyin Across the Water", the poems gradually became more intellectual than emotional, and they tended to be less deliberately forging words and refining sentences, but tended to let things go naturally.

The autumn harvest period that realistically hurts the present and confirms life.

After 1981) is represented by "Five Elements Unimpeded", "High-rise Building to the Sea", etc. During this period, Yu Guangzhong not only sang about family ethics, satirized the Han soul and Tang Soul, and penetrated the mysteries of life and death, but also multiplied the nostalgia of geography by the vicissitudes of culture.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, some people speak highly of Yu Guangzhong's prose.

In the preface to Yu's collection of essays, "Ghost Rain," published by Huacheng Publishing House, He Long said that a scholar in Hong Kong called Yu "the magician of words."

The traditional Confucian personality and Taoist ideals enabled his literary creation to quickly get rid of the mysterious trend of avant-garde experiments and return to the national, vernacular, and traditional road, which is not a 'retro' road, but a very perfect, creative, and unique creative path after making the most precise combination of modernity and tradition in the afterglow, which has set a glorious example for the development of contemporary Chinese national literature. (On Yu Guangzhong and Chinese Traditional Culture], Chinese Literature, No. 1, 1997).

Yu Guangzhong agrees with Auden's five conditions for a great poet: prolific, breadth, depth, skill, and transformation. In the creation of more than 700 poems for half a century, we believe that Yu Guangzhong meets these conditions and can be called the ...... of the great Chinese poets of the 20th centurySince the mid-60s, Yu Guangzhong has entered a mature period of poetry.

The experience of personal life, the reflection on the reality of the family and country, the classical charm, the modern techniques, and the rhythm from rock music, many factors have come together to form a distinctive 'remnant' of modern Chinese poetry. From [in the years of the Cold War], he showed lasting and stable brilliance with one collection of poems after another, and modern poetry finally became like classical poetry, which was indispensable and invincible.

Extremely high evaluation of Yu Guangzhong!!

Yu Guangzhong is a famous Chinese writer, poet and essayist.

Yu Guangzhong was born in Nanjing in 1928 and his ancestral home is Yongchun, Fujian. Her mother is originally from Wujin, Jiangsu, so she also calls herself "Jiangnan".

He graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages of National Taiwan University in 1952. In 1959, he received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa (Lowa). He has taught at Soochow University, Taiwan Normal University, National Taiwan University, and National Chengchi University.

1. Yu Guangzhong is a complex and changeable poet, and his changing trajectory can basically be said to be a trend of the entire poetry scene in Taiwan for more than 30 years, that is, westernization first and then return. In Taiwan's early poetry debates and the vernacular literature debates of the mid-70s, Yu Guangzhong's poetic theories and works both strongly show a tendency to advocate Westernization, ignore readers, and detach from reality.

As he himself put it, "As a boy, the tip of the pen was stained either by the aftermath of Heatoncree or by the waters of the Thames." The wine is made from 1842. ”

After the era, he began to realize the importance of the place where his ethnic group lived to his creation, and "extended his poetry back to that continent", wrote many emotional nostalgic poems, and his attitude towards local literature also changed from opposition to cordiality, showing an obvious trajectory from the West to the East, so he was called "the prodigal son" by the Taiwanese poetry circle. From the perspective of poetic art, Yu Guangzhong is an artistic polygamous poet.

The style of his works is extremely inconsistent, and in general, his poetic style varies according to the subject matter. Poems that express will and ideals are generally magnificent and sonorous, while works that describe nostalgia and love are generally delicate and soft. His literary career is long, broad and deep, and he is a contemporary poet, a prose powerhouse, a famous critic, and an excellent translator.

Together with his wife and daughter, he visited Jiangnan University and was hired as a visiting professor at Jiangnan University. In the same year, Yu Guangzhong came to Qu Yuan's hometown of Zigui, Hubei, to participate in the first Dragon Boat Festival in Qu Yuan's hometown and the Qu Yuan Cultural Forum on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and specially created the poem "Zigui Sacrifice to Qu Yuan" to commemorate Qu Yuan.

On June 17, Yu Guangzhong participated in the Cross-Strait Qu Yuan Cultural Forum, was hired as a visiting professor of China Three Gorges University, and gave a report entitled "My Four Degrees of Space" for the teachers and students of the school.
