The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 7
The Lu was known as “the person who laid the first brick for the New Poetry movement”. His poetry is like a strange wind, making people fall in love with the beauty of life and hope in the bright light of life. That’s how I know all about the majesty of a “general who controls the Vietnamese language army”! The majesty of that “new star” was clearly shown in the poem Remember the Forest – a famous poem of his.
If The Lu’s poetic soul is “the lute of many rhythms”, then “Memorial Forest” is his most prominent poem. The tone that envelops the poem is tragic, a “fierce song” expressing the tragedy of an entire era. The poem sets up two opposing spaces: the grandeur of nature and the narrowness and confinement of the zoo where the tiger lives. The Lu’s romantic pen has raised that tragic contrast to create a grandiose and grandiose resonance for the poem, highlighting the exquisite and unique image of the quartet.
The first is a picture of the forest in the night:
Where are the golden nights by the stream
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer.
A “golden night” by the stream, the metaphor here is splendid and fanciful. The poet did not say “moon night” but said “golden night”, making the scene suddenly become more glorious and brilliant than ever. The moonlight shining down on the forest made everything seem shimmering and dyed a sparkling golden color.
It seemed like there was so much gold and silver in this world, the sky sucked it up and poured it all down into the forest. “Drink the melting moon” is also a beautiful metaphor. The moonlight shines on the water surface, the water surface shimmers in the shape of the moon, and the moonlight seems to melt in the water, it is diluted, stretching over the vast, immense, sparkling, magical water surface.
The tiger drank the spring water, but it was like drinking the moonlight in the drunkenness of its prey. This image reminds us of the old folk song: Why did you scoop out the golden moonlight? The Lu has breathed the poet’s soul into the heart of the king, otherwise there would be no “golden night”, there would be no “drinking the melting moon”. Nature is so beautiful and alluring that the value of that night seems to have multiplied, making the lord more dreamy and intoxicated in his dreams.
Next is the picture of the forest rain. Tiger – with the contemplation of a sage, silently watching the “jiangshan” where the tiger is the hegemon. The raindrops poured down to refresh the whole forest, the whole forest and mountains seemed to change with a new vitality, more abundant than ever.
There is something very clear and pure in this poetic image. The beast is now not only a poet, but also has the view of a philosopher, a wise man. This painting brings the beauty of lightness, purity and sophistication to the strange. Together with the first picture, it helped us understand the diversity of nature that always leaves traces in the tiger’s soul.
From the role of the emperor, Jiangshan is a vast and deep forest. The dawn in the wild is bright and colorful, melodious and the sounds of animals in the eyes of the king of the jungle. On the throne, the tiger slowly enjoys the pleasure of a “king” with the dawn of green trees as a curtain, the birds in the forest are the palace maidens who specialize in serving the king of the forest. with graceful dances and joyful singing.
All slowly put the lord into a soft and sweet sleep. The background of the painting is radiant by the colors of the dawn light, by the scent of the forest filled with flowers and grass, and the singing and humming of birds and animals in the forest. Every beauty here is imbued with the breath of freedom that makes the “king” fall in love and bewildered!
The last picture is the sunset in the afternoon forest. The tone of the poem is no longer nostalgic, lamenting, but becomes strong, full of questioning, anger between the past and the present. The tiger appeared in the proud pose of a free and bloodthirsty tyrant. The words “stained with blood” are terrible.
It makes us think again from the blood of some poor animal to the blood of the setting sun when the sun turns red in the afternoon. It seems that this red color has dyed time. Blood has become a memorable memory in the tiger’s heart. If the forest is the enemy, then “behind the forest” suggests a vast, infinite space of the sun alone and at the same time reveals the mystery of the place where the fierce battle between the “lord above” takes place. tall” and “lord of the jungle”.
The verb “to die” makes the sun seem to have become a living thing, no longer an inanimate fireball. The sun was already a pathetic beast under the proud gaze of the king of the jungle. The three words “slice of the sun” seem to tell us that the sun has become completely insignificant, no match for its rival in the fierce contest of high and low talent to take over “the secret part. “, the size of the beast here is magnificent in the whole universe…
This final picture of the four vases shows the proud, majestic feet of a ruler of the universe. Before the lord of the jungle, the sun was only a small “piece of the sun”. The tiger has now become the lord of all creatures. With such great freedom, why can’t the tiger “eat” hatred when confined?
Memories pop up like in a movie. Consecutive “where”, “where”, … makes nostalgia for “old days” very painful and anxious. In the majestic and poetic space full of “shadows of fake trees”, the tiger dreams like a poet, meditates like a sage, is powerful like a king and decisive like a lord.
Those days are gone and will never come back. What is supreme glory has no meaning without freedom. Behind these broad images is a deep, painful sadness. The tiger’s despair is thick and bitter in the verse: Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
Missing the forest not only has the charm of a poem, but it also has the alluring beauty of a masterpiece of painting or the magical melody of a musical instrument! Poetry changes naturally. The tone of the poem burns with regret, in the past, the poetic voice is fierce, when returning to reality, the poetic voice becomes dull and boring! That boils down to anguish and despair in the last verse: O my hideous forest!
In a poem excerpt, Remember the Forest has fulfilled its historical mission, it is like a manifesto to win the right to life of New Poetry. Closing the pages of the book, our mind is like lingering with the beauties of nature with a burning desire for freedom.
Is it possible that when writing this poem, the author not only wants to express the irony situation of the tiger but also wants to express the strong desire for freedom, the distaste for living in bondage, mediocrity, falsehood and heartbreak? secret patriotism of the Vietnamese people at that time? That noble aspiration is still strong enough to conquer and resonate in the hearts of readers all the time.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 1
The Lu (1907-1989) is the pen name of Nguyen Thu Le. Write poetry, write stories, write plays, direct. President of Vietnam Association of Theater Artists. In every aspect, he has excellent achievements. The Lu was a pioneer poet and was praised as the “First Poet” in the “New Poetry” movement (1932-1941). The poetic work: “A few poems” expresses an “open poetic soul”, with romantic inspiration abundantly, passionately, passionately and earnestly.
The poem “Remembering the forest” was written by The Lu in 1934, printed in the volume “May rhyme” published in 1935. Borrowing the words of the tiger locked in the Zoo, the author expressed his melancholy, hatred and emotions. the intense desire for freedom of captive, enslaved people.
Stinging a lump of hatred in the iron cot. Being locked up “in an iron cage”, hatred and resentment have accumulated into “blocks”, “gnawing” forever but not melting, the more “gnaw” the more bitter. Only know “lying” helplessly, suffering. “mocking”, being “humiliated and imprisoned”, becoming “toys” for “the other people are arrogant and stupid”. grant:
“Tolerating the pack with the crazy bears,
With a pair of barn leopards on the side without hesitation.”
It was a typical tragic mood of the king of the jungle when he was lost, lost, and imprisoned. In the historical context of our country when the poem was published (1934), the shame, hatred and bitterness of the tiger also coincided with the tragedy of our people in the shackles of slaves living in darkness. blasphemy”.
We live forever in love and nostalgia. “Love and nostalgia” live forever, never forget. Remember “the time when you roamed…”, “remember the scene of the forest and the shadow of old trees.” Remember the powerful and fierce forest music. The word “remember” the word ” with” and the way of pacing (4-2-2, 5-5, 4-2-2…) has changed and balanced, resounding with inconsolable nostalgia.
The richness of music depicts the powerful inner life of an extraordinary character with a glorious past. A body “like a rhythmically rolling wave”. A majestic and powerful footstep ”bold, dignified.’ A pair of “magic eyes” and when “cracked”; “everything is silent.” A force of impregnable authority. Musical verse about nostalgia:
“Remember the scene of the mountains and the old trees
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains.
With screaming intense hymns
I step up, boldly, dignified,
Waving your body like rhythmically rolling waves
Shadows silently, thorny leaves, sharp grass
In the dark cave, the god’s eyes when scowled
To make everything quiet…”
The verbs “scream, scream, scream” describe the fierce and majestic song of the sacred and majestic forests and streams. Those are the wonderful poems that make the new poetry luxurious. “I lie down”… and then “we live forever in love and remember”. Remember when “stepping out …”, remember a golden age reigned:
“I know that I am the lord of all,
In the middle of a nameless, ageless pomp.”
A word “I” resounded proudly. The king of the jungle is depicted in the depths of spirituality, in the heights of asserted authority. The consecutive rhetorical questions appear as a wake-up call and provoke a surge of “nostalgia”: “where are the …”, “where are the days…”, “where are the dawns.. .”, “where are the afternoons…”. Remember forever, remember the night of the moon and streams, remember the rainy days, remember the dawn, remember the sleep, remember the song of the birds. And remember the “bloody afternoons.” …”.
The magnificent poem talks about the four nostalgia of the king of the jungle, constantly remembering day and night, early and late afternoon, rain and sun, wake and sleep, drunk and silent, waiting… A space art is reproduced and described through the quartet of a painter. The Lord of the forest sometimes daydreams in the middle of the moon stream, sometimes meditates in contemplation, sometimes suppresses, patiently waits to “roll around…” and “scowl…”! This 10-sentence stanza is the best verse in the poem “Remember the forest”:
“Where are the golden nights by the stream,
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer.’
Where are the rainy days turning to the four directions?
I silently watch our country renew
Where are the sunrises of green trees and sunshine,
The sound of birds singing our jubilant sleep?
Where are the bloody afternoons behind the forest?
I’m waiting for the hot sun
Let me take partial secret
– Alas! Where is the glorious time now?”
After nostalgia for a golden age, a glorious time, suddenly the king of the mountain suddenly woke up, returning to reality with an iron cage, painful and extremely bitter. Like a mountain collapsing, the tiger lamented. The combination of exclamation and rhetorical question resonates with a verse of poetry, a lament of a “sacred loon”, of an extraordinary person who has lost ground.It is also the sigh of a class of aspiring people. freedom that day:
“Alas! Where is the glorious time now?”
Now we hold a thousand regrets.
Back to the sadness and nostalgia of “the majestic water scene”. I can only send a message earnestly and restlessly: “Oh my terrible forest scene!”.

The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 10
The Lu with his soul full of emotions and his ability to use words skillfully made great contributions to the new poetry movement. Among them is the poem Remember the forest. His name is associated with the poem Remember the Forest. He borrowed the image of a captive tiger to talk about his life longing for freedom. Thereby expressing the attitude of denying the reality of slavery, the desire for freedom and the secret patriotism of the nation.
Remembering the forest was written by The Lu in the form of eight-letter verse, consecutive words, equal rhyme, rhyme with changing rhythm. The beginning of the poem is the situation of the tiger being held in a cage, this is the cause of the tiger’s tragic mood:
Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage,
I lie down, watching the days go by,
Contempt those arrogant, stupid people,
Raised the child’s eyes mocking the majesty of the deep forest.
Now lost, humiliated and imprisoned,
To do fancy things, toys,
Tolerating the pack with the crazy bears,
With a carefree pair of barn leopards.
The tiger is a familiar species living in the wild mountains and forests and is also known as the king of the forest, but now being kept in a cage, it also plays a fancy game, a toy, so the tiger is very melancholy and indignant. It does not accept the situation because it is always aware that it is the king of the forest, so its place is not here but belongs to the wild mountains. If it’s resigned to living in bondage, it certainly isn’t what it is anymore. The mood of melancholy, discontent, intense conflict in the mind of the captive tiger and this emotion has covered the whole poem.
The poem shows the suffering of a forest lord imprisoned living in a suffocating environment. In this verse, the subtleties combined with the slow tempo emphasize the anger of the tiger in captivity. But it was so helpless because the people holding it were so sure it had to lie down and watch the days go by.
The lord of all things, worshiped by other animals and roaming the majestic mountains, is now lost and locked in a tight iron cage, it feels like living in a prison with no freedom. . At the same time, it is also made fun of other people. It feels that arrogant little people are brought down like crazy bears, caged leopards, .. are lowly animals. But it could do nothing but sigh with helpless eyes looking at the mountains and forests where it belonged.
We live forever in love and nostalgia
The tumultuous days of the past.
Remember the scene of the forest, the shadow, the old tree,
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains,
With screaming a fierce long song,
The harsh reality made the tiger remember the time of his wandering. The past was so free and beautiful. Alone roaming around the deep forest, do you have to think about it? The tiger remembers the scene “the forest, the shadow, the old tree, the thousand wind, with the fierce long song, ..” .
The author used five words to describe the majestic scene with intense vitality. And the king of the jungle understands that his glorious past will never come back, so he can only be proud of himself in the past and remember his beautiful past.
I step up, boldly, dignified,
Rolling my body like a rhythmically rolling wave,
Shadows silently, thorny leaves, sharp grass.
In the dark cave, when the god’s eyes have scowled,
To make everything quiet.
I know that I am the lord of all things,
In the middle of a nameless, ageless flower.
In that majestic mountain landscape, the tiger appeared dignified and powerful. It is like a powerful force that no other species has, so it is respected by many other animals and dare not oppose. It boasts its own magic eyes, so it is active at night. Thus we see that the tiger is an extremely strong, powerful and freedom-loving animal.
Where are the golden nights by the stream
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer ?
Where are the rainy days turning to the four directions?
I contemplated my Jiangshan innovation ?
Where are the sunrises of green trees and sunshine,
The sound of birds singing our jubilant sleep?
Where are the bloody afternoons behind the forest?
I wait to die the scorching sun,
To take my own secret?
Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
From here, we can see a very beautiful set of quartet paintings on poetry. Four scenes: golden nights, rainy days, dawns, and bloody afternoons behind the forest, each scene is magnificent, in turn appearing in the inconsolable nostalgia of the tiger sa co.
In that fanciful and poetic scene, the lord of the forest seemed to be drunk as he stood drinking the moonlight. The Lord of the forest stood on the bank of the stream silently watching the scenery change the four seasons. It is the scene of dawn, the sound of birdsong, the scene of the afternoon covered with blood behind the forest. The pronoun “ta” repeated many times creates a solid, majestic presence with the great power of the king of the jungle. No matter how glorious it was, it was in the past, so the tiger could only sigh and return to the present.
Now I hold a thousand regrets,
Hate scenes that never change,
Modified, mediocre, fake scenes:
Care flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants;
The black water strip is like a stream, not flowing
Wool under the armpits low mounds;
Sesame leaves are gentle, not mysterious,
Also learn to imitate the wild look
Of the lofty, murky millennial place.
The Lord of the forest showed contempt for the four-color scene in the Botanical Garden. These are just monotonous arrangements that aren’t naturally boring. It found that the more people forced the car to follow nature, the more it felt fake and indignant.
O dread spirit, the majestic river and mountain views!
A place like a sacred pit where I dwell,
Where we struggled in the past,
A place we’ll never see again!
Did you know that in the days of boredom,
I’m chasing a big dream
Let my soul seem to be near you,
O my terrible forest scene!
The author has very successfully expressed the mood of the captive tiger and the intense desire for freedom. In the captivity scene, the tiger could only send its soul to the majestic mountain where it was born and raised. The tiger is very displeased with his life without freedom and being chained and confined. That’s why it only uttered a lament.
Thus, we can see that the tiger’s mood is the general mood of the Vietnamese people who are persecuted and robbed of their free life. They yearn for a life of freedom that they are entitled to. But now can only wish.
Through this poem, we can see that the author has very successfully expressed the new poetic form and through that, it shows the reality of life being invaded by foreign invaders and wars, causing people and our country to lose their freedom and at the same time our people are being oppression should be very indignant. And they yearn for a free and peaceful life.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 2
One of the excellent writers present from the very beginning was The Lu. Many of his works have greatly contributed to the development of Moi Poetry, the most typical of which is Remember the Forest. In Remembering the Forest, The Lu expressed a melancholy, depressed heart and a burning desire for freedom through the words of a tiger in the zoo. That is also the common sentiment of Vietnamese patriots in the situation of losing their country.
In its early days, the New Poetry movement experienced developments in both style and content. Along the development stages, Moi Poetry has gradually been liberated from the strict normativeness and “non-self” conventional system of classical poetry. Poets have explored the world with their very real senses and emotions. That was also the time when a clear self appeared in poetry.
There is the rise of intense human emotions beyond objective reality. Therefore, Moi Poetry tends to escape reality, expressing discord and helplessness in the face of social reality. Thereby, Moi Poetry also showed fierce resistance to the false, trivial reality that imprisons people’s dreams.
Sharing the same attitude of resistance, The Lu wrote emotional lines in the song “Memorial Forest”. Borrow the words of the tiger at the zoo to express your own mood. The Lu has created a scene that is both very real and contains deep secrets. All images mentioned in the article are the space revolving around the life of the tiger. The fact is that the tiger is being confined in an iron cage and he feels his life contains melancholy and boredom in the cramped confinement, the “false mediocrity” scenes at the zoo.
Therefore, it feels sorry for the glorious past in the majestic mountains. Those are two completely opposite scenes between reality and the past. The tiger was originally an animal that was considered to be the lord of all species, but now because of the fall, he has to live in a “humiliation” situation in an iron cage. The life space of the lord of the jungle has shrunk and has since been turned into a “fancy game”, a “toy” in everyone’s eyes. For him, life now has become tasteless because he is living in a place that does not match the status of a king of the jungle.
Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage
I lie down and watch the days go by
Tiger felt helpless because there was no way to escape from a cramped life, so he had to watch the time pass in vain. But no matter what the circuTaxances, the “sacred lobster” always knows his true identity as a god. The thirty-somethings showed disdain and contempt for the ignorance of the true power of nature of the “stupidly arrogant” people who only “rolled up their little eyes to mock the majesty of the forest”.
How frustrating the sight of having to live with the “crazy bears”, with the “carefree pair of barn leopards”! How to endure the situation of resignedly accepting the fate of “friends” in the same situation. It is the sadness, the resentment that has been repressed to create the hatred contained in the heart. Tired, bored, helpless! In that pitiful situation, the tiger thought about his glorious past life:
We live forever in love and nostalgia
The haughty days of the old days
Remembering the scene of the mountain and the shadow of the old trees
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains
When screaming the fierce long song…
The tiger regretted the “boss” time where “the shadow of the old tree”. It is a painful nostalgia for the deep forest. To miss the forest is to miss freedom, to remember the “glorious times”, to remember the sublime, true, and natural. In that majestic young country, the tiger is reigning a power in the middle of life.
The bravery of a king of the jungle always shows his supreme power with extraordinary strength. What it needs to do is make everything subject to fear and submission. There, the tiger appeared with a proud posture but still exuded a majestic beauty in the midst of majestic mountains:
I step up boldly
Waving your body like rhythmically rolling waves
Shadows silently thorny leaves of sharp grass
In the darkness of the god’s eyes when scowling
Is to make everything go silent
I know I am the lord of all things
In the middle of a nameless and ageless flower place
The real beauty of the tiger is here! Every step, every body, every look evokes a majestic majesty and gentleness. In every action, the other beast showed everything the ultimate power that made everyone “shut up”. Living freely in the middle of the jungle forever is a very noble thing. There the tiger really enjoys a beautiful life that nature has given.
Those are the moments when the tiger is “drunk”, watching the change of “jiangshan”, sleeping and wanting to take his own “secret part”. It has been comfortable in its own country and asserts the true value of life with its beautiful, poetic and charming scenery. But now, it’s all just memories of the past.
Tigers will never see the scene of “golden night by the stream”, see the scene of “rainy days turn to thousands”, hear the song of birds, be immersed in the scene of “sunrise green trees and sunshine”. washing”, waiting for the “dead piece of the sun” of the afternoon “smeared with blood behind the forest”.
Those scenes only left in the tiger the feeling of regret, entangled in the strong, overwhelming emotions of painful questions. Nostalgia overflowing with feelings of the beautiful past closed the glorious dream in a mournful lament: Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
Relived with beautiful memories in the majestic mountains, the tiger suddenly realizes the false mediocrity of the scenery where it lives. In the tiger’s haughty gaze are scenes that are “unchangeable”, boring monotonous scenes edited by humans and trying to “imitate”. The lord of the jungle showed contempt and boredom at the small and lowly scenes of man-made falsehoods.
It was not a place worthy of a ruler’s life. No matter how much you try to fix it, it’s just “black strips of water that don’t allow the stream to flow” under the “low mounds”, “flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants” with nothing is “mysterious” “wild”. These fake life scenes make the tiger even more regretful for the place “a thousand years of high and dark”.
Disgusted with real life, embracing unrelenting resentment, the tiger yearns for a life of freedom. All the thoughts and feelings of the tiger belong to the dark forest of thousands of years. Also through that, the lord of the forest sent his earnest message about the mountains and forests. Despite being in a state of weakness, the tiger could not hide his pride when it came to the “majestic young country”.
That Giang Son is a place where tigers have had beautiful days, freely struggling in a separate space. Even now, they will never be able to live again in those old places, but the tiger will never stop thinking about the “big dream”. The dethroned lord prayed to live forever in the memories, the nostalgia of the beauties that went away and never returned:
Let my soul seem to be near you
O my terrible forest scene
The heart of a tiger is the heart of a young man, The Lu, who dreams of a beautiful life in the past. That is also the common spirit of most of The Lu’s poems as well as in the New Poetry movement, bringing with it people’s desire to live as themselves.
Remembering the Forest could not get rid of the sadness, “sick mind of the times” at that time. But the poem is unique because it creates a meeting point between the melancholy of the people who have lost their country and the state of discord and helplessness in the face of reality of the young generation of petty bourgeois intellectuals. Thereby arousing the desire for freedom and justice
Rich in romantic inspiration and intense emotion, Remember the Forest has spread an urgent poetic soul and impressive poetic images depicting the majestic beauty of the mountains. The success of The Lu is that he has shown a rich imagination when borrowing the image of a tiger in the zoo to speak for his deep secret confidants. Thereby expressing the disdain for the cramped living situation, and at the same time arousing the patriotic feelings of the people at that time.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 5
We always live with the thoughts that some people only have negative thoughts that do not help them develop, always live comfortably in a vicious circle of trivial comforts, but there are people who always push push themselves with other ideas ordinary people want to push themselves to the big, not limited, full of aspiration to make their life more wonderful. The encouragement of freedom in the mind of the king of the jungle can be found in the wonderful work of the poet The Lu.
This poem becomes wonderfully beautiful, when the tiger brings together the common sense of eternal freedom like humans for so many generations. It inspires people to be stronger than ever. A little disappointing at the beginning of the poem is the pity when drowning in your own impasse in a difficult situation. The author sympathizes with “Tiger at the zoo” reading its thoughts, understanding it better, and bringing words closer to humans.
The poem is divided into five distinct paragraphs. The opening paragraph is the tragic situation – m is imprisoned, the mood of resentment, boredom has to give up the helplessness of the tiger. Paragraphs 5 and 2 are the continuation of the line of thought, the chain of associations in the past, the longing and nostalgia for freedom in the majestic forests when there was no human intrusion, and the disappointment and regret with the past. the bitter sigh of the lord of the jungle.
Paragraph 4 presents a comparison of two living circuTaxances between the past and the present. Continuing, the final paragraph to escape the grip of reality Tiger can only evoke living with the glorious past, letting one’s soul rest in the “big dream – the dream of the jungle, the dream of freedom contained in the forest”. in the heart”.
That pity stems from the hatred and indignation that readers still want to learn more about life. It can be said that the impact of humans on nature and the animals that nature has bestowed has both helped them develop according to the development of society, but left behind the pain of physical destruction. body, soul for animals and nature
Gnawing a lump of hatred in an iron cage,
I lie down, watching the days go by,
Contempt those arrogant, stupid people,
Raise your baby’s eyes and parade the majesty of the forest
Now lost, humiliated and imprisoned,
To do fancy things, toys,
Tolerating the pack with the crazy bears,
With a carefree pair of barn leopards.
It can be said that the mind of a tiger, a king of the jungle of the green forest, feels the arrogance in every word, but it seems very real. The tiger is subject to the submission of man arrogant to nature with no thought for nature conservation, no longer deserves the highest position in the forest, nor can he live as if he is just a stranger. eyes, entertainment of humans and animals lower than this Tiger in terms of status, “Crazy bears”, “pair of leopards… carefree”. The suppressed suffering made the tiger suffer and become bored with the current situation.
The tiger seemed to be in pain with the present sighing, the scene before his eyes closed and brought him to the sound of the mountains urging. The scene of the mountains and forests as in the tiger’s memory is the grandeur, vastness, and freedom of the mountains and the extremely quiet and liberal forest.
Next is the association of its appearance majestically, majestically reigning, exploring every position where every animal is feared in its kingdom, the scene is like a slow-motion movie full of images, sounds and sounds. The action makes the Tiger restless, unable to be still, it wants to move, wants to run and jump, satisfied with its true freedom of life, which is deeply liberal in the second stanza.
The author uses strong verbs and adjectives to create the magnificence of the mountains and forests, besides the activity of the tiger full of noises: raging, eager, screaming, sucking, fierce, loud, rolling. . It can be seen that the use of pronouns is not only small, but in the vastness of heaven and earth, the tiger can see that its position is not small, comparable to the nature that pops up the powerful word “I”. , proud.
Rich images appear clearly, sexy in the mind of the Tiger. The author focuses on describing how the eyes of this tiger have made the space look charismatic, its power is reflected in the fact that when it is done, everything is quiet”, the softness of the back, the flexibility. leniency from the tiger’s gait. A bold spatial quartet appears in the life of the Tiger, including “moon night, rainy day, green morning, red afternoon”. In all time and space, the Tiger dominates with an extremely active posture.
Following the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs, raising the power of the Tiger not only in the green forest, but also in the universe according to the tiger’s thinking with colorful images but mainly the color red like blood is the main theme “the color of the sun in the dying moment, the dying after the long day”. “golden nights by the stream”, “rainy days turning to thousands of places”, “sunshine green dawns” and “bloody afternoons behind the forest”.
Arrogance in rhetoric but mixed with the author’s exaggerated style makes the passage attractive. In its eyes, the sun is here In its eyes, the sun is just a “piece”, so small and pathetic! and its shadow seems to cover the whole universe.
Raised this beast to cosmic stature with exaggerated writing. Author’s tone: when magnanimous but poignant, when lamenting regret and sorrow, questioning coldly, bitterly exclaiming, “Alas! Where is the glorious time now?”.
The tiger’s disdain for the monotony, mediocrity and hypocrisy of the Zoo’s landscape, which is in stark contrast to the deep and majestic mountains and forests, is shown in paragraph 4:
Now we embrace a thousand regrets
Hate scenes that never change,
Modified, mediocre, fake scenes:
Care flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants;
Solve black water fake stream, do not clear the stream
Wool under the armpits low mounds;
Sesame leaves are gentle, not mysterious,
Also learn to imitate the wild look
Of the lofty, dark place of a thousand years.
Living in this situation, it would be better for the Tiger to let his soul fly to the past, “The enemy dreams of freedom” rather than being able to bear the restraints of the “iron cage” which is clearly shown in paragraph 5. of reaching for the big, not subject to mediocrity, meaninglessness., wanting to affirm the “me”, affirming individuality. Romance is successfully expressed here with a state of dissonance with the opposite reality. by dreams, freedom, sublime..
Because it is the mood of the Tiger, but we can think of the Vietnamese soul at any time. The stalemate in slavery, with the same great hatred as Ho, is also full of regrets about the glorious old times, representing a page of romantic poetry.
The poem is associated with a new poetic soul – The Lu poetic soul is successful and full of originality and romance. We hope and always believe that the Tiger in the work itself has returned to freedom, not being imprisoned and imprisoned, as well as the young Vietnamese generation doing their best to be able to fight for eternal freedom. of the nation.

With melodious music, magnificent natural scenery, especially with the image of a tiger, the poem Remembering the Forest has conquered each of us, has occupied the deepest part of the soul of many people for more than half a century. via.
The tiger is talked about by the poet with sympathy and admiration. It is lying in an iron cage at the Zoo. The Lord of the mountains in a prison of extreme bitterness, resentment, anger, has accumulated, and has accumulated into a mass. How can you not hate when you have to lie down and watch the days go by in an iron cage? How is it possible not to be resentful and bitter when the king of the jungle is being mocked by people with their baby eyes mocking the majestic spirit of the forest, becoming a toy, with a carefree pair of newspapers in the botanical garden? The Lu expressed the bitter, hateful mood of a tiger that lost its freedom full of obsession:
Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage
I lie down and watch the days go by…(…),
Now, I’ve been humiliated and imprisoned…
Thereby, we see more clearly: The sacred lobster when he fell, was also cowardly (Truyen Kieu – Nguyen Du); The more we understand, the more bitter things are in life. Bitter is better than losing freedom (Diary in Prison – Ho Chi Minh). As the years go by, the lord of the forest can never calm the nostalgia of the forest. Remember the haughty days of the past.
Remember the scene of the forest, the shadow, the old tree
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains…
Like my noble, heroic posture. A footstep, a wavy body, a shadow play… All are bold, dignified. One word I resound with pride of the lord of the jungle:
I step up, boldly, dignified
Waving your body like rhythmically rolling waves
Shadows silently, thorny leaves, sharp grass.
My authority is absolute. All things must be afraid, must be silent when my god’s eyes have scowled, I know in the midst of flowers, I am the lord of all things:
In the dark cave, when the god’s eyes have scowled,
To make everything quiet.
I know that I am the lord of all things,
In the middle of a nameless, ageless flower
Nostalgia for the sacred forest, for the power… of the lord of the jungle is to remember the unforgettable years. That nostalgia is the burning desire to live, the burning desire for freedom. Tiger misses the forest is remembering the brilliant memories of a golden age, a glorious time. Magnificent scenery. The music of poetry is also the music of the forest.
Where are the golden nights by the stream
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer?
Where are the rainy days turning to the four directions?
We silently watch the landscape of our renewal?
Where are the sunrises of green trees and sunshine?
The sound of birds singing our jubilant sleep?
Where are the bloody afternoons behind the forest?
I wait to die the scorching sun,
Let me take partial secret!
Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
The words and phrases: where are the golden nights…, where are the rainy days.. where are the dawns…, where are the afternoons…, where are they now? appeared in succession in five rhetorical questions creating a melodious, constant, and painful melody, deeply expressing the love and nostalgia of the sacred lobster, the forest, and the regret of a glorious time that has now become nostalgia, into the past.
The Lord of the mountain misses the night, remembers the day, remembers the dawn, misses the sunset, misses the stream, misses the moon, remembers the scene of the forest in the rain forest, remembers the green trees and sunshine, misses the birds singing jubilantly at dawn, misses the sun bittersweet in the sunset… That nostalgia is the sadness of being deprived of freedom, and also the longing for freedom.
The Lu has created poems rich in images and music, full of emotions to express the tiger’s nostalgia for the jungle… A lament is like gripping people’s hearts: Alas! Where is the glorious time now? Depressed, imprisoned in an iron cage. Must be far from the forest should remember the forest. Will the pain and resentment ever go away? Like a weary sigh:
Now we hold a thousand regrets.
The king of the forest, remembers the scenery of the forest, the shadow, the old tree, and then resentfully hates the unchanging scenes that are boring, tasteless, meaningless, trivial, petty falsehoods:
Care flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants;
The black water strip is like a stream, not flowing
Wool under the armpits low mounds.
Resentful of the prison, disgusted with the petty and petty scenes presented by those arrogant people, the tiger remembers tormentingly, and remembers incessantly the majestic young water scene. Remembering the forest is remembering the free kingdom:
It’s a place like a sacred pit where we dwell
The spacious place where we struggled in the past.
Before the painful reality, the tiger could only let his soul follow the dream. The Lord of the forest called out to the sacred forest with so much love and compassion: O my terrible forest scene!
Remember the forest is one of the ten best poems of the New Poetry movement (1932 – 1941). Free verse form, beautiful lyrics, magnificent and magnificent images. The music is melodious, the emotions are abundant. The image of a tiger in pain, resentment, and longing for the forest is deeply and hauntingly depicted.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 3
The Lu full name is Nguyen Thu Le, born in 1907, died in 1989, from Bac Ninh, is considered one of the pioneering flags of the New Poetry movement (1932 – 1945). With a soul full of emotions and skillful use of language, he has made an important contribution to the renewal of Vietnamese poetry.
In addition to a collection of poems published in 1935, The Lu also composed many other genres such as detective stories, horror stories, forest stories, plays… During the period of participating in the resistance war against the French, he completely switched to stage activities and have many merits in building the theater industry in our country.
The name The Lu is associated with the poem Remembering the forest, which is loved by many people. Borrowing the words of a tiger locked in a zoo, the author has deeply and vividly expressed the mood of resentment, disgust at the cramped, mediocre life and nostalgia for the free life in the past. Thereby discreetly expressing our people’s attitude of denial of the reality of slavery, the strong desire for freedom and the secret and passionate patriotism of our people.
To understand all the beauty and beauty of the work, we must first briefly understand the concept of New Poetry and the New Poetry movement. The two new words Poetry was originally used to name the free verse form that had just appeared on the lute at that time. After 1930, a series of young poets who followed Western studies together criticized the old poetry (the poetry of Tang Luat) as cliché and binding. They demanded a renewal of poetic form. The New Poetry Movement was born and developed strongly for about fifteen years and then gradually came to a standstill.
In New Poetry, the number of free-style articles is not much, mainly in the form of seven-word and six-eighth poetry. However, compared to the old poetry, the new poetry is much more liberal and natural, because it is no longer bound by strict rules about the law. Two new poems later became the name of the romantic poetry movement, associated with famous poets such as The Lu, Luu Trong Lu, Xuan Dieu, Huy Can, Nguyen Binh, Han Mac Tu, and Che Lan Vien. , Bich Khe, Pham Huy Thong…
The debate about New Poetry and Old Poetry was lively and fierce in the contemporary press. In the end, New Poetry won, not by reason but by many beautiful poems. Commenting on The Lu’s role, literary critic Hoai Thanh wrote: “The Lu does not discuss New Poetry, does not defend New Poetry, does not polemic, does not give speeches. The Lu just quietly, just calmly take steady steps, but in an instant, the whole ranks of old poets must fall. Because nothing makes people believe in new poetry more than reading good new poems.” (Vietnamese poet).
In terms of his role, The Lu was not only the one who raised the pioneer flag of the New Poetry, but also the poet most representative of the artistic characteristics of the New Poetry in the first stage (1932 – 1935). The poet chooses the pseudonym The Lu, in addition to playing with words (saying the name Thu Le), it also implies that he is a traveler wandering in the world, only knowing how to find the various beauty of life:
I’m an adventurer
The earthly road goes up and down to have fun
(The lute of all tunes)
Despite such a declaration, The Lu still carried the sadness of losing his country in his heart. In the poem Remembering the Forest, the poet borrows the melancholy of a tiger to express the indignation of the defeated hero. Defeated but still beautiful, still heroic.
Remember the forest is written in the form of eight-letter poetry, rhyming (two consecutive sentences with the same rhyme). Rhythm, rhyme changes rhythmically and steadily. This is a form of poetry that is used quite widely in New Poetry. The poem has two contrasting images: the Botanical Garden, where the tiger is imprisoned, and the great forest, where it roams and dominates in the old days. The upper scene is reality, the lower scene is the past and also a dream, a burning desire.
The plight of being imprisoned is the cause of the tiger’s tragic mood. Tragedy is expressed in that the living situation has completely changed, but the tiger’s personality cannot be changed. It is not willing to bow its head to accept the situation because it is always aware that it is the lord of all species.
If accepted, it will no longer be it. The mood of resentment, discontent, and fierce struggle of the imprisoned tiger is the dominant emotion that covers the whole article and penetrates deeply into every sentence and word. That mood is described by the poet with a sharp and talented pen:
Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage,
I lie down, watching the days go by,
Contempt those arrogant, stupid people,
Raised the child’s eyes mocking the majesty of the deep forest.
Now lost, humiliated and imprisoned,
To do fancy things, toys,
Tolerating the pack with the crazy bears,
With a carefree pair of barn leopards.
The poem shows the terrible suffering of the king of the jungle who was imprisoned for a long time in a small, stuffy space. In the first verse, the juxtapositions combined with slow, intermittent rhythms remind us of a hatred agglomerating into a heavy mass in the heart.
The tiger wanted to knock off that invisible rock but was powerless, so he had to lie down and watch the days go by. The long flat bars in verse two reflect the constrained situation and the extreme boredom of the king of the jungle.
From being the lord of all species to be worshiped and worshiped, freely roaming the majestic mountains, now lost, lost, locked in an iron cage, the tiger feels humiliated and imprisoned. The king of the jungle was angry when he was turned into a fancy game, the toy of small but arrogant people, being put down to the level of the herd with crazy bears, with a carefree pair of barn leopard… anonymous, insignificant inferiority.
Struggling to escape in any way, the tiger had to lie down in a helpless mood, giving up. The sad reality makes the tiger even more fondly remember the time when he was free to struggle between high mountains and deep forests:
We live forever in love and nostalgia
The tumultuous days of the past.
Remember the scene of the forest, the shadow, the old tree,
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains,
With the uttering of a fierce long song,
Denying the harsh present, the king of the jungle has only two directions: either returning to the past, or admiring the future. Tigers cannot have a future, only a past. The bright aura of the past creates an illusion, and that illusion is magnified by the imagination.
The Lord of the jungle understands that the glorious past once gone will never come back. Therefore, its mood is both proud, mixed with pain and despair. The most beautiful and sexy words such as: shadow, old tree, howling wind, source voice shouting mountains, wilderness, secret… are used by the author to describe the majestic and wild scenery. wild and intense vitality of the deep forest – the long-lived Jiangshan of the mountain lord’s family.
It was a murky, lofty thousand-year-old place, a formidable forest scene that no pen could describe. On that majestic background, the lord of the forest appeared with a majestic and majestic appearance:
I step up, boldly, dignified,
Rolling my body like a rhythmically rolling wave,
Shadows silently, thorny leaves, sharp grass.
In the dark cave, when the god’s eyes have scowled,
To make everything quiet.
I know that I am the lord of all things,
In the middle of a nameless, ageless flower.
The images rich in plasticity have vividly described the brave, soft, flexible beauty and the formidable inner strength of the lord of the forest amidst the majestic and majestic mountains. The third stanza of the poem is like a splendid set of quartets depicting natural landscapes in different times:
Where are the golden nights by the stream
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer?
Where are the rainy days turning to the four directions?
I contemplated my Jiangshan innovation?
Where the dawn green trees shine,
The sound of birds singing our jubilant sleep?
Where are the bloody afternoons behind the forest?
I wait to die the scorching sun,
To take my own secret?
Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
Four scenes: golden nights, rainy days, dawns, and bloody afternoons behind the forest, each scene is magnificent, in turn appearing in the inconsolable nostalgia of the tiger sa co. It is a fanciful, poetic scene of golden nights by the stream, the king of the forest is drunk, drinking the moonlight. As the rainy days move to the four directions, the lord of the mountains silently watches the mountains… renewal.
It is the dawn of green trees and sunshine, bustling with birdsong. Finally, the scene of bloody afternoons behind the forest is so intense and tragic. The lord of the thousand is leisurely waiting to die the harsh sun, to take for myself the secret part of the vast universe. The pronoun ta is repeated many times in the poem, creating a strong and majestic melody of the verse, expressing the pride and pride of the lord of all species.
But no matter how glorious, it is only the glory of the past appearing in nostalgia. The allusions: where, where, but… repeated emphasizing the tiger’s regret for the glorious past. The king of the jungle seems to be bewildered, struggling with the harsh reality that he is suffering. The beautiful dream ended in a melancholy sigh: Alas, where is the glorious time?
Although the narrator in the poem is a tiger, claiming to be Ta, (I live…, I step on, I know me…) but it is actually the “me” of the romantic poet. awakened in the midst of contemporary prison society. Paragraph four describes the scene of the Botanical Garden through the disdain of the lord of the forest. It’s all just a monotonous, dull arrangement, far from the natural world. The more you try to learn and imitate the wild scene, the more it shows its banal, hateful falsehood:
Now I hold a thousand regrets,
Hate scenes that never change,
Modified, mediocre, fake scenes:
Care flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants;
The black water strip is like a stream, not flowing
Wool under the armpits low mounds;
Sesame leaves are gentle, not mysterious,
Also learn to imitate the wild look
Of the lofty, murky millennial place.
The scene of the zoo where the tiger was kept is in contrast to the wild and deep forest where it used to be. Careful flowers, cropped grass, flat paths, and plants are metaphorical images that refer to the reality of contemporary society. The poetic sound clearly shows the boredom and contempt of the majority of educated young people in the face of the reality of society at that time. In the last paragraph, the lyrical voice of the poem summed up the feelings of the king of the jungle:
O dread spirit, the majestic river and mountain views!
A place like a sacred pit where I dwell,
Where we struggled in the past,
A place we’ll never see again!
Did you know that in the days of boredom,
I’m chasing a big dream
Let my soul seem to be near you,
O my terrible forest scene!
The poet reflects very successfully the deep dissatisfaction and intense desire for freedom of the forest lord before the cramped and suffocating reality. The Lu’s pompous style has reached a magical level. In captivity, tigers only know how to send their souls to the majestic young country, the Jiangshan of the sacred tunnels that reigned from thousands of years ago.
Disgruntled with the present but unable to get rid of the shackles of slavery, the mighty king of the jungle has now given up, comforting himself with big dreams for the rest of his life in bondage. A numbing sadness permeated the soul. Alas! The glorious past is only present in a dream! From the bottom of his heart, the lord of the forest burst into a lament: O my terrible forest!
The mood of the captive tiger is also the general mood of the Vietnamese people living in the slavery of being humiliated and imprisoned, also holding a mass of hatred and inconsolable nostalgia for the glorious time with victories against the enemy. glorious foreign invasion in history. Because of touching the depths of people’s hearts, the poem has just been born and has been warmly received by the public.
The author borrows the words of a tiger locked in an iron cage to fully and deeply express the melancholy mood of the young generation of Western-educated intellectuals who have just awakened their sense of individuality, extreme dissatisfaction and contempt. the unjust and oppressive reality of contemporary society. They want to break the shackles of slavery so that the free “me” can be affirmed and developed. Many people read the poem Remember the Forest, feeling that the author spoke for them the suffering of slavery. In a way, this can be considered a patriotic poem, following the circuit of patriotic lyric poetry in legal literature in the early twentieth century.
The Lu has chosen a unique image suitable for expressing the theme of the poem. The majestic animal is considered the lord of the jungle, once glorious and glorious in the majestic young country, now imprisoned and imprisoned, symbolizing the defeated hero. The vast wilderness symbolizes the vast free world.
With the image containing that profound meaning, The Lu is very convenient in conveying his feelings ahead of time through the poem. The poetic language reaches a level of virtuosity, sophistication, melodious music, at times lively and heroic, at times quiet and tragic, successfully expressing the ideological content of the poem.
The poem is full of romantic inspiration, the poetic inspiration overflows under the poet’s pen. This is a typical feature of romantic writing style and is also the core factor that makes up the strong attraction, dominating other artistic elements of the poem. The poem Remembering the forest lives forever in the hearts of readers. Referring to The Lu, people remember the forest. As a poet, just that is enough to be happy, happy and satisfied.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 4
The Lu’s Memory of the Forest is a beautiful poem, typical of the New Poetry movement and of the author in two aspects: the virtuosity, liberality, and maturity of New Poetry and the secretive and silent patriotism.
The poem has a unique structure: borrows the words of the tiger in the iron cage of the zoo to remember the nostalgia for the green forest and the glorious days of the past to express the longing for majestic, natural scenes, hates false grooming, longs for the freedom to manifest one’s natural strength, longs for the liberation of one’s personality.
The poem also conveys a little affection for the most glorious time of the country. The first two lines introduce the status and feelings of the tiger:
Gnawing a lump of hatred in an iron cage,
I lie down, watching the days go by.
Chewing, not sucking, means that we are gnawing and sipping our own anger. The poet says the block of hatred, because the block is a great, intact, undissolved emotion. In the past, when talking about unresolved emotions, melancholy emotions often used the word love block. The lying posture shows boredom, helplessness, not pretending to be a tiger anymore, because what animal can’t lie down? The tiger has lost, or been stripped of, its majestic posture.
But that is only on the surface, in the heart, the tiger is still the same tiger with strong memories, with unruly feelings. The next six lines speak of the tiger’s humiliating situation, expressing its sense of wanting to distinguish itself from humans and other animals. What can be more painful than a tiger – the king of the jungle – that no one is afraid of, used as a toy, and placed on the same level as bears and leopards?
Meanwhile, compared to tigers, they are just a bunch of stupid, crazy, carefree (thoughtless) bunch. The next 22 lines tell about love and nostalgia for a glorious lost time: The old days of the old days. The two words in the past sounded so far away, as if they could never come back!
The last stanza of the poem expresses an earnest but tragic, hopeless sentiment. Lying down to watch the days slowly pass and then again Alas! Where is the glorious time now, and finally it will never be seen again, the emotional circuit makes the author’s nostalgia mean goodbye.
Missing the forest is both an aspiration for nature, freedom, openness, aspiration to master the country, and a sigh that means goodbye to not integrating with the fake world. Although the glorious era is no more, even if it goes away and does not return, the tiger will forever belong to that lost time, but is not committed to being a toy, entertaining people, not integrating into the present time.
The poem also conveys a feeling of patriotism. Literary critic Le Dinh Ki wrote: “In the romantic poetry of 1932 – 1945, we do not talk about love, do not delve into personal feelings that make a strong impact, first of all, remember the famous song Remembering the forest. by The Lu.
The story of the tiger in the zoo, but also the story of people living in the prisons of the old regime. Reading the verses of The Lu, it is easy to relate to the condition of living in chains, deprived of freedom, and bound in all ways during the French colonial period. The heroic past of the tiger before being imprisoned is also very easy to make us miss the heroic past of his father. The more I remember the glorious time, the more I feel resentful because I have to be imprisoned, surrounded by petty and trivial things.” Those are rational analysis.
The poem is full of creativity in terms of words and rhythm. Newly created words: four directions thousand, thousand dreams; prose words: crazy bears, low-lying mounds under the armpits, terrible forest scenes, … besides poetic words. The long, cursive lines, with conjunctions that widen the meaning of the poem, and relax the verse, are different from the traditional jurisprudence, fully expressing a characteristic of contemporary New Poetry, which is posing. for Vietnamese verse.
The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 9
The Lu is one of the pioneering writers, paving the way for the development of modern Vietnamese poetry. It can be said that he was the one who planted the victory flag for new poetry, and set up a new poetic foundation for national poetry at the very beginning (1930-1935). His poetry carries the sentiments of the times and the country, but is not deadlocked, sad, but earnest and tragic.
“Remembering the forest” is one of the poems composed in romantic style, has an important position in The Lu’s writing career and is also one of the most typical poems of the new poetry movement. The poem was composed in 1934, printed in the volume “A few poems” (1935), the author borrowed the words of a tiger locked in a zoo to deeply express his disgust with the banal, cramped reality and his belief in life. the intense desire for freedom of the young man who lost his country.
Express your desire to assert your own ego and develop in a large life, a free country. That is also the common confession of young intellectuals who lived in a state of dehydration at that time. First of all, with the poem “Remembering the forest”, The Lu has successfully built the image of a tiger that has lost its luck, bringing the beauty of a defeated hero. The opening verse is the tragic pain of the tiger in the present tense:
Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage
I lie down and watch the days go by
Despise those people who are arrogant and stupid
Raise your child’s eyes to mock the majesty of the forest
Now, I am humiliated and imprisoned
To do fancy things, toys
Tolerating the pack with crazy bears
With a carefree pair of barn leopards.
Hate is the pain, resentment, indignation that is invisible but through the verb “gnaw” has become blocky, as can be seen in detail. That hatred does not only exist for a moment, but it is always smoldering, accumulated for a long time. It is the hatred of being imprisoned “in an iron cage” to the point of losing freedom, only knowing how to “lay down” briefly, despairingly watching the days go by but helplessly.
That tragic pain of the king of the jungle was pushed to a higher climax when he had to live with “crazy bears” and became a fancy toy for “arrogant people”. The present is like that: depressed, imprisoned, helpless, but tigers never forget the years of the time when heaven and earth were vertical, horizontal, vertical, and four pools of water:
We live forever in love and nostalgia
The haughty days of the old days
Remember the scene of the forest, the shadow, the old tree,
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source shouting the mountains,
With screaming a fierce long song,
I step up boldly, dignified,
Rolling my body like a rhythmically rolling wave,
Shadows silently, thorny leaves, sharp grass
In the dark cave, when the god’s eyes have scowled,
Is to make everything quiet
I know that I am the lord of all creatures
In the middle of a nameless, ageless flower.
The nostalgia has sparked the mysterious mountain scenes that appear magnificent and majestic, but also lyrical and poetic. That is the scene “the shadow of the ivory tree”, “the sound of the wind howling”, “the voice of the source shouting the mountain”. The Lord of the forest kept reminiscing passionately about the fiery, glorious, proud and proud memories of that time.
Verbs describing movements such as “step, play, glide, quack” combined with a system of words rich in shape-forming properties “rhythmically, loudly, silently” have created a lord of the jungle. soft, flexible, confident and dignified, yet majestic and mighty, extraordinary courage. And those times are the best days:
Where are the golden nights by the stream
I stood drinking intoxicating moonlight tan primer?
Where are the rainy days turning to the four directions?
I contemplated my Jiangshan innovation?
Where are the sunrises of green trees and sunshine,
The sound of birds singing our jubilant sleep?
Where are the bloody afternoons behind the forest?
I’m waiting for the hot sun
Let me take partial secret?
– Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
The intense nostalgia keeps leading the tiger back to the distant past of a glorious time, that is, the golden moonlit nights by the stream to enjoy, let your soul drink the moonlight at night; on rainy days, when the four directions change, quietly watch the fierce forest rain; the days of peace, serenity in the morning sunshine filled with sunshine or the time to gloat, delight in the spoils and wait for the sun to go down to master the dark night.
The art of structural alliteration (allegory) combined with interlacing rhetorical questions describes the endless stream of reminiscences; while expressing a deep nostalgia, mixed with bitter regret about the days when they were free and roaming. Therefore, the last verse of the verse sounds like a sigh of despair and despair: “-Alas! Where is the glorious time?”
Returning to the trivial, false reality, the boredom, the contempt of the “lord of all species” has increased to a high level. Those are all false, trivial scenes:
Care flowers, grass clippings, flat paths, plants;
The black water strip is like a stream, not flowing
Wool under the armpits low mounds;
Sesame leaves are gentle, not mysterious,
Also learn to imitate the wild look
Of the lofty, murky millennial place.
Therefore, the last verse is a tragic message from the tiger to the majestic young country. On the one hand, it shows sadness about the past; On the one hand, it affirms the strong and strong spirit of the tiger that nothing can subdue, even when imprisoned in an iron cage:
O dread spirit, the majestic river and mountain views!
It’s a place like a sacred pit where we dwell
Where we struggled in the past
A place we’ll never see again!
Did you know that in the days of boredom,
I’m chasing a big dream.
Let my soul seem to be near you,
– O my terrible forest scene!

The essay analyzes the poem “Remember the forest” by The Lu No. 8
As one of the first faces of the New Poetry movement, as soon as The Lu appeared, The Lu made a big splash in the literature with the poem Remember the forest. A completely new style, free from conventional conventions, this is the beginning of new poetry. The poem Remembering the Forest is a brilliant milestone in The Lu’s career, containing many profound values.
At the beginning of the work is the image of the king of the jungle with so much anger and resentment:
“Holding a lump of hatred in an iron cage,
I lie down, watching the days go by,…
With a carefree pair of barn leopards.”
Originally the lord of the jungle, reigning over the jungle, but now being imprisoned, the tiger is extremely painful, resentful, that hatred has been pent-up for so long, containing substances that form and form blocks. Combined with the verb gumble, it becomes more clear that the anger of the lord of the forest. How can you not be angry when you have to lie down and watch the long and wide days pass.
More bitter is when he realizes his own unhappiness, but still has to endure being a fancy toy for everyone, having to befriend the leopards inside the botanical garden. This pain no one can understand. In the situation of being imprisoned and imprisoned, the nostalgia for the forest scene becomes even more raging, painful and intense. It is the scene of the forest, the shadow, the mysterious old tree that the king of the forest reigns. There all its authority is fully exerted, just a scowl will make everything silent, afraid:
With the sound of the wind howling, with the voice of the source screaming the mountains
………….
In the middle of a nameless, ageless flower
The image of the tiger in the stanza shows up majestically and fiercely. The rhythmically wavy body, bold and dignified steps say all the heroic past of the tiger. The personal pronoun ta is used throughout the stanza, resounding proudly, affirming the absolute authority of the tiger.
Before the power of the lord of the jungle, everything must be restrained and afraid. When the god’s eyes have scoffed, everything must be quiet. The nostalgia for the sacred forest, where our tiger once lived, are the beautiful years that it will never forget. At the same time, through that nostalgia also shows the desire to live, the burning desire for freedom of the king of the jungle. The next stanza is a remarkable picture, a glorious, golden past of the tiger:
Where are the golden nights by the stream
…
Alas! Where is the glorious time now?
The stanzas are consecutive rhetorical questions: where are the golden nights, where are the rainy days, where are the dawns, etc., creating a bitter and anxious nuance. Asking that question is a way to remind and regret the golden, brilliant past. There are so many memories and regrets, the picture is sketched with colors and light: the golden night, the moonlight melts, the rain turns to thousands of directions, the green trees and the sun wash, the sound of birds singing in the mountains, …
The more beautiful and brilliant the past is, the more painful the present is. In the past, struggling, struggling, now imprisoned. Alas, the glory days are in the past. The stanza is the most beautiful picture in the work, with language rich in images, colors and sounds.
The music changes flexibly, sometimes melodious, sometimes intense. The rhetorical questions and ingenious use of alliteration speak to the pain of being deprived of freedom and the intense desire to break free from the cage. Back to reality, the tiger is more painful and hateful than the false and trivial scene:
Now we embrace a thousand regrets
….
Of the lofty, murky millennial place
The scenery of false reality, the flowers taking care of the lawn, the low and mysterious mounds can’t be compared to the vast wilderness. It is also because of the artificiality of the scene that makes the tiger even more painful, because the scene is not worthy of a king of the jungle like a tiger.
