Top 10 essays analyzing the work Sang Thu by the best poet Huu Thinh

“Sang Autumn” is a five-language poem by Huu Thinh, once loved by many people. The poem consists of three stanzas; Each four-sentence stanza is a beautiful and peaceful autumn of heaven and earth, created in the early autumn – new autumn, autumn suddenly comes.

“Song Autumn” presents a delicate, light, and talented artistic style, expressing the feelings and emotions of the author before the beauty and miraculous transformation of nature in the early morning. collect. The perceived object is the autumn landscape in the countryside in the North of our country.

For poet Xuan Dieu, the first signal of autumn is the “fading” color of the leaves “woven” by the hand of creation among thousands of trees:

“Here comes autumn, next autumn

With faded apricots woven with gold leaf.”

(This is next autumn)

But with Huu Thinh is the “guava scent” of the country garden that is “breathed in” in the chilly autumn breeze. That passionate taste in the garden that each of our childhoods will carry forever in our souls, throughout our lives:

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Into the gentle wind.”

“Pha” means strong and radiates into a stream (Vietnamese – Hoang Phe Dictionary). Huu Thinh does not describe, but only evokes, giving readers associations with the golden color, the fragrant and fragrant aroma emanating from the ripe guava fruits in the countryside garden in the late summer and early autumn days. Because the autumn wind is “se” cold, the new guava fragrance is more passionate and wafts into the heavens and the earth and the souls of people.

Many people already know: Thach Lam, Vu Bang, Nguyen Tuan, Bang Son, Nguyen Dinh Thi,… have written beautifully about the flavor of Com Vong (Hanoi), a cherished beauty about the autumn flavor of their homeland. country:

“The morning is as cool and clear as the morning of the past The autumn wind blows the new flavor of nuggets…”

(Country – Nguyen Dinh Thi)

The “guava fragrance” in the song “Sang Autumn” is a novelty in Huu Thinh’s poetry, rich in rustic colors.

After the “guava scent” and “the wind se”, the poet refers to the autumn dew. Nor is it “Cold autumn dew… Autumn smoke builds a citadel” in Tan Da’s “Breakfast collection”. Nor is it the cold dew and the sad autumn sound of the old days: “The branches are full of dew, the sound of the rain is sprayed” (Chinh Phu soaked). It’s the autumn dew filled with a “sluggish” mood that deliberately slows down to prolong time:

“The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about.”

The autumn dew has been humanized; The two words “sluggish” very poetically describe the slow walk of autumn. If the words “suddenly realized” express the emotion of surprise, then the two words “seems” express the conjecture of a vague collection that has just been discovered and felt.

The word “se” rhymes with the word “about” (rhyme, rhyme, rhyme) has contributed to the richness of rhyme and music, making the voice of the poem gentle, immense and sexy.

The artistic space of the painting “Song Autumn” is expanded, at the height and width of the sky with flying birds and drifting clouds, at the length of the river through the next second stanza:

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn.”

Autumn river in the North of our country, the water is clear and calm: “White clears the river, it is flat” (“The autumn afternoon scene” – Ba Huyen Thanh Quan). The river is full of water, so it’s “easy”, drifting slowly as if it were deliberately slow, lacking in urgency, taking a lot of time… Birds fly “in a hurry”, that is, flocks of tiled cuckoos, flocks of guinea pigs, flocks of birds change seasons, avoid the cold, fly from the far north to the south. Among those flocks of birds flying “in a hurry” are there flocks of wild geese that poet Nguyen Khuyen mentioned in “Thu bay”:

“An hour in the air, which geese?”

The river, the bird’s wings, the autumn clouds are all anthropomorphized. The autumn picture becomes charming, full of poetry. Huu Thinh does not use words such as: wandering, floating, floating, lightly drifting, … but using words squeezed.

“There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn.”

Clouds seem to stretch out, squeeze up, lay horizontally in the sky, let down. Huu Thinh’s poem describing the autumn clouds is quite interesting and unique: the way of choosing words and using words is very creative.

The last stanza expresses some of the poet’s feelings and thoughts when looking at the scene in the early autumn days:

“How much sun is still left

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

Sunshine, rain, thunder, natural phenomena in the time of season change: summer – autumn are delicately felt by Huu Thinh. The words: still, have diminished, also less surprising, very well describe the duration and existence of things and nature such as autumn sun, autumn rain, early autumn thunder. Summer is still holding on. Summer sun, rain, and thunder still linger on trust and heaven and earth. Looking at the scenery in the autumn at the change of seasons, from that scene, the poet ponders about life. “Thunder” and “old trees are metaphors that make up the meaning of the song “Tomorrow.” Sunshine, rain, and thunder are natural fluctuations, but also have symbolic meanings for changes and transformations. changes, difficulties and challenges in life.The image of “old trees” is a metaphor for a class of people who have experienced and been forged in many hardships and difficulties:

“Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

Huu Thinh wrote the poem “Sang Autumn” in the early 80s of the last century. At that time, although our country was independent and unified, it was facing many new difficulties and challenges in terms of economy and society. The two closing sentences of the poem have the meaning of affirming the tough and good bravery of our people during those difficult and difficult years.

“Sang Autumn” is a beautiful poem by Huu Thinh, printed in the collection of poems “From the trenches to the city” published in May 5. So many emotions overflowing in beautiful, charming, poetic poems. The poet does not use crayons to draw brilliant autumn scenes and colors. It’s just a few touches, describing a little but evoking a lot, but the author has brought out a light, clear, peaceful, immense soul… full of poetry.

The art of personification and metaphor, the rather subtle way of choosing words are the successes of Huu Thinh that left a beautiful and deep impression in “Sang Autumn”. The five-language poetry in “Sang Autumn” shows a new, calm and innocent way of feeling, thinking, and expression. “Tomorrow” is a voice of the heart to cover, send, and report the autumn of the country’s homeland; a warm, earnest autumn sound.

Poet Huu Thinh’s full name is Nguyen Huu Thinh, born in 1942, from Tam Duong district, Vinh Phuc province. In 1963, Huu Thinh joined the army, joined the Tang – Armored army, became a cultural officer, trained in the army and began to compose poetry. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Writers Association, courses III, IV, and V. Since 2000, Huu Thinh has held the position of General Secretary of the Vietnam Writers Association.

Huu Thinh is a poet who travels a lot, writes a lot and has some unique poems about people and life in the countryside. The poem Sang obtained was composed at the end of 1977, printed for the first time in Van Nghe newspaper. The content expresses the poet’s wistful and agitated mood before the subtle changes of heaven and earth and is a beautiful natural picture of the countryside in the Northern Delta at the change of seasons from summer to autumn.

Suddenly I realized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about

The river is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze your half to fall

How much sun is still left?

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees.

From the end of summer to the beginning of autumn, there are gentle but obvious changes in the earth and sky. These changes were felt by Huu Thinh with the vibration of the poet’s heart and expressed through poetic and expressive images.

In the first stanza, the sign of autumn is not the same Ngo as Diep Lac, Thien Ha plus tri thu as in ancient poetry; nor the Willow Trees stand in mourning, Sad hair hangs down; thousands of lines as in Xuan Dieu’s poetry two-thirds of a century ago. Knowing a lot about the countryside, Huu Thinh has included in the poem simple, rustic but extremely familiar images of his homeland.

Suddenly I realized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about

This is the scene of an early autumn morning in a village in the North. First of all, the poet suddenly realized the signal of the change of seasons from the wind carrying the scent of ripe guava. The wind will be a light breeze, a bit cold, also known as the pig wind. The scent of guava is associated with many childhood memories, the taste of the homeland has been imbued in the poet’s mind and every autumn, it becomes a reminiscent agent.

Next is the image of the fog spreading in front of the alley. Fall, cool weather. There is often dew in the early morning and evening. Dew is also one of the signs of autumn. The fog drifts through the alley as if to remind the hearts of people who are expecting that autumn has arrived. The poet was surprised and happy and secretly exclaimed: It seems that autumn has come.

The two words suddenly and seem to increase the feeling of wistfulness and agitation, very true to the poet’s mood before the autumn scene – the endless inspiration of poetry, song, music, painting.

The poet feels autumn with all his being, his soul. The beginning is the sense of smell: Suddenly realizing the scent of guava, spreading in the wind. Next is the visual extension to receive incoming signals. From the mist entangled in the trees, bamboo ramparts along the alley to the river that has passed the flood season, now gently and peacefully flows. Against the clear blue autumn sky, the birds seem to be in a hurry as well.

The feeling of changing seasons is described by the poet with a poetic unexpected image: There are clouds in summer, Half of yourself in autumn. This is a unique image depicting the scene where summer is not over but autumn has arrived. The impression of the rushing and strong of the summer rains is still intact, but the sadness at the gentleness and coolness of autumn has slowly entered the soul from an unknown time.

The late summer sun is still there, but it has become less intense and brilliant, and the torrential rains have gradually decreased:

There’s still a lot of sunshine. The rain has eased

Poets express their emotions very successfully with words to describe feelings and states: suddenly, inhaling, slack, seemingly; The whole poem is a beautiful natural picture of heaven and earth, drawn by the author with the delicate vibration of the artist’s heart. That is what makes every word and image bursting with life.

Three stanzas, twelve verses, each of which is beautiful and beautiful, but has its own distinctive features of the time of summer change – obtained by Huu Thinh most concentratedly in the last two lines of the poem:

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees.

These two verses have two layers of meaning. The first level of meaning describes the phenomenon of thunder and lightning and the image of trees in the late summer rain. The second level of meaning is the allegorical meaning through the artistic metaphorical image. Thunder is the unusual echoes of the external environment, of life; The row of old trees means that the person has experienced.

By autumn, the sudden and violent thunder of summer thunderstorms had subsided. The trees were no longer startled, trembling from the thunder. Poet Huu Thinh confided that with this realistic image of this natural phenomenon, he wanted to convey his reflection: When people have experienced, their bravery is also more stable in the face of life’s challenges. life.

With subtle feelings and the use of natural and honest words, along with the art of metaphor, ingenious personification, Huu Thinh has painted a unique picture of the time of summer-autumn transition in the countryside of the Northern Delta. . With the song “Sang Autumn”, Huu Thinh has added a collection of her own imprints to the beautiful and beautiful collections of Vietnamese poetry.

Autumn is always a topic that makes poets fall in love because it is the season of the most gentle and soothing things, the season of silence and the deepest vibrations. Autumn enters Nguyen Khuyen’s poetry simple and close; entering Nguyen Dinh Thi’s poetry is the echo from the country of thousands of generations. And Huu Thinh’s autumn through the poem “Sang Autumn” is so beautiful, so poetic and lyrical, and the poet’s heart is also very charming. The poem has successfully sketched the miraculous change of seasons of heaven and earth and of people’s hearts.

“To Autumn” is a poem that gently recreates the subtle change of seasons, heaven and earth in autumn is a bit confused, a little hesitant and above all, the surprise and recovery of the poet realizes the change of heaven and earth. Autumn comes, autumn brings people the most soothing melodies.

The sign of autumn in Huu Thinh’s poetry is really idyllic and close, not the scent of autumn nuggets, not the calm lake surface, nor the seasons of falling leaves. Autumn in his poetry is “guava fragrance”, which is the typical scent of the Vietnamese countryside when it comes to autumn.

Suddenly I realized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

It must be very subtle, very skillful, the author can realize the fragrance is very gentle and can be carried away by the wind at any time. The phrase “suddenly realized” is like a new discovery, a very pleasant surprise as when discovering something beautiful. This is a phrase where the author’s surprised state when he realizes that autumn has hit the alley with only “guava scent”, a familiar domestic scent that makes it hard for children far from home to forget. The scent of guava has “breathed” into the gentle, astringent “breeze” of early autumn. The verb “pha” exudes the spirit of autumn and guava flavor. It describes the close connection, the connection between the guava flavor and the early monsoon.

Just through the first two verses, Huu Thinh has brought readers a new feeling about autumn, about the most subtle change of seasons, about the simple things around us.

Mist adjusts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about

The two verses are very charming, very subtle but very profound, evoking the ambiguity of the changing seasons. The image of “fog drifting through the alley” makes readers imagine a scene where the mist is hesitatingly hanging at the beginning of the alley. The word “sluggish” is very expensive to use, exuding the spirit of autumn, not in a hurry and exhilaration, but always creating the most ambiguity and ambiguity. The author has to say “seems”, not sure, not sure, but in fact, the author asserts himself that autumn is real.

Perhaps autumn has come, is the autumn of heaven and earth and the autumn of people’s hearts, many moods. By the second stanza, it seems that autumn has clearly shown each contour in the author’s perception:

The river is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze your half to fall

The autumn water rises with the “easy” season, the birds in the sky begin to “hurry” to fly. Nature when autumn comes is a bit rushed, more urgent and heavier but still retains the most characteristic aura. The lines of autumn appear very clearly, no longer as vague as in the first stanza. This is also the process and transformation in nature and in the author’s perception. The author’s delicate and meticulous observation is also reflected in the way “summer clouds” look like “squeezing” into autumn. So talented, so skillful, and he seemed to be moved by autumn, autumn air, so much autumn that he imagined the vision of clouds high in the sky as if moving with the beat of autumn.

The word “squeeze” is used very well, very nicely, it describes the transition of autumn very smoothly and rhythmically. Autumn has something unique, mischievous and equally charming through Huu Thinh’s feelings. Autumn has really come, autumn brings with it the purest, gentlest and most soothing things.

The picture of changing seasons through Huu Thinh’s poetry is really soft, gentle and flexible. That is the talent of the author, the talent of using words to draw pictures.

The surprise lies in the last stanza, autumn has really come and heaven and earth have had changes that people can recognize, but the author has contemplated autumn by looking at a person’s life:

There’s still a lot of sunshine, the rain has subsided, and the thunder is less surprising On the old trees

Autumn is sunny, a gentle and pure sunshine, a little chilly of the early monsoon. Autumn nature also becomes quieter and more contemplative. The thunder no longer startled people, but it became quieter in the old trees. The author has summarized the contemplation and experience of a person’s life through the association with “old trees”. The thunder and the trees in the last two verses seem to embody experienced people who have passed the stage of youthful, impulsive youth. At the stage when people are “older” everything needs to be more certain and dignified, quieter. The author has borrowed the image of “trees of old age” to describe the life of people at the age of tearing in the afternoon, just like autumn; maybe autumn is the season of people who are no longer young. The beat of autumn, the movement of autumn is very gentle and peaceful. Perhaps when people go through their impulsive age, there comes a time when it is necessary to calmly look back and gently feel them. The last stanza with a quiet tone makes the reader realize a lot of things in this life worth pondering.

Huu Thinh with his unique and interesting poem “Sang Autumn”, delicate and gentle way of feeling, and thoughtful contemplations have made readers have a more general and new view of autumn. Folding the page, Huu Thinh’s autumn is still around in each of our minds.

Autumn has always been an endless source of poetry’s inspiration. Before the cold weather of autumn, many poets put their thoughts and feelings into it. Huu Thinh is such a poet. He wrote “Sang Autumn” with all his vibes. The poem expresses the poet’s delicate emotions when the earth and sky are gradually changing from summer to autumn.

The poem, written at the end of 1977, recreated in a gentle and vivid way the changing seasons of heaven and earth. That’s when nature is a little bit regretful, a little hesitant, and a little nervous before entering autumn.

At the beginning of the poem, the author feels very new emotions, very personal with the poet’s actual vibes:

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind”

If other poets perceive autumn with the yellow color of leaves, flowers, and ripe corn, Huu Thinh perceives autumn with a very unique taste: guava flavor. Autumn gently came to the surprise of the poet himself. “Suddenly realized” is an emotion of surprise and it seems that Huu Thinh is startled to realize that autumn is in the middle of the color of the sky gradually turning to autumn. The cool breeze typical of autumn brings the scent of guava. The verb “pha” as an affirmation of the appearance of guava flavor because this is not a passionate, sweet fragrance, but it is enough to awaken the author’s sense of smell. Autumn comes gently and clear, bringing with it the morning mist that covers the space:

“The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about”

The word “sluggish” conjures a sense of slowness with rhythmic intermittent movement. Perhaps this is also the rhythm of movement in the poet’s emotions. A little bit of sadness, a bit of surprise, a little bit of return, a little bit of summer regret. The scent of guava and the morning mist startled the poet to realize that autumn has arrived. Through just four verses, the author has expressed all his emotions through smell, touch, and sight to bring out the very feelings of autumn.

Next, autumn is felt in a larger, more layered space:

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn”

By this time the poet was able to confirm the existence of autumn. When autumn comes, the movement of the river also becomes gentler and slower, not as intense as the summer flood. It seems that all movements are slowing down when autumn comes, only the wings of the birds begin to rush away to escape the cold. The poet’s point of view has been gradually moved to the high and wide sky. With its delicate feeling, the cloud is so soft and smooth like a graceful silk strip “swallowing half of its body to autumn”. It seems that the clouds are still longing for summer, trying to hold on to the space of summer before the sky and earth really change. The more we realize the poet’s subtlety because autumn is just in the beginning of the season when he can recognize and describe it very vividly.

If the two stanzas above, Huu Thinh very vividly describes the autumn of nature, heaven and earth, in the last stanza of autumn, it has been felt by contemplation and reflection:

“How much sun is still left?

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On the old tree cave”

The time of changing the sunny season is still there, but the summer showers have gradually subsided. Sunshine, rain, thunder, lightning – the features of autumn are still there, but the intensity has diminished. The two closing verses of the poem give the reader interesting feelings:

“Thunder is also less surprising

On the old tree cave”

“Old trees” reminds readers of each person’s life. Human life is like a tree line, sometimes young, mature and old. Is the age here the age of a person’s life? The rows of trees here are reappeared in the rain, wind, lightning, storms of heaven and earth in autumn. At this age, people are mature enough, mature enough to no longer be surprised by the storms of life.

“Tomorrow” has brought readers very new and strange feelings about autumn. Autumn in poetry is not only the rustling golden leaves, the yellow color of chrysanthemums… but also the scent of guava, the mist that flows, the river flowing… The images are close and familiar with emotions. The poet’s subtlety has been described honestly and poetically. The poem is written according to the author’s emotional circuit, which leads the reader to gradually drop into the movement of autumn.

With simple words and familiar images, Huu Thinh not only shows readers a subtle feeling but also shows his love for nature, heaven and earth.

Autumn is an endless source of inspiration in poetry, only that one autumn, but the literary and artistic world has many times to exclaim, then compose their own poems, very personal verses, very featured. For example, Xuan Dieu wrote in This coming autumn with a melancholy, moody feeling when “The willow tree stands in mourning” with “More than a flower has fallen off its branches” and “Two thin, fragile bones”. It can be seen that the theme of autumn in Vietnamese and Eastern poetry is not new, the unique and distinctive features of each poem about autumn come from personal feelings, word usage, art and style. The talent of each author,… Huu Thinh is one of the typical poets when writing about autumn with a very unique feature, he does not write about late autumn or mid-autumn, but he chooses a relatively sensitive moment. It is the time of change of seasons, to autumn. But that moment when entering the poem, was described in a very smooth and delicate way by the author in the poem Sang Thu.

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about”

The moment when the poet realizes that autumn has come is also very special, different from the authors who have long recognized autumn through very specific things such as the rustling sound of falling leaves, the golden color of autumn like. Luu Trong Lu once wrote in Tuong Thu very funny poems “The yellow deer is bewildered / Stepping on the dry yellow leaves”. Nor is it the majestic blue sky like in Nguyen Khuyen’s Thu Cuoi, even less the new scent of nuggets, chrysanthemum daisies, or the cold wind that people still remind when thinking about autumn in Hanoi. . Huu Thinh’s early autumn moment was very rustic, very simple, it came from the sweet, fragrant “guava” flavor, a gift from the countryside that is so familiar to every Vietnamese. That guava scent, it is not only faint, but “Flashing in the wind will” blend and thicken, making the poet clearly feel and be aware of the transition between summer and autumn. At the same time, “the wind will” carry that guava scent, which also partly reminds people of the dry, chilly feeling of autumn. Besides the scent of ripe guava in the chilly breeze, the moment of change of season is also expressed through a very unique and special image that perhaps, like guava, has never been seen by a poet before. Think about such a unique autumn. “The fog drifts through the alley”, the word “sluggish” reminds readers of the slow, entangled feeling of the early morning mist, it seems that the fog is trying to linger around the alley with the scent of ripe guava to warn signal to the poet that “Autumn seems to have come”. Or in another sense, sometimes people think that the mist is like a white silk scarf crossing between the boundary of summer and autumn, perhaps there is something still lingering in the warmth. The pressure of summer does not want to change to the cold autumn. To the last verse of the paragraph “It seems autumn has come” is both an affirmation that autumn has officially begun with clear signs including the sweet scent of guava, the chilly wind and the slowly drifting fog. But at the same time, the verse also expresses the poet’s surprise and amazement at the coming autumn moment.

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn”

In the next stanza, the transition of seasons is no longer in the scent of guava or the morning mist, but it is clearly shown through the transformation of nature, heaven and earth, opening up a spacious and spacious space. of autumn heaven and earth. It is the image of a “easy” river representing the ground, flowing slowly, different from a river of summer that constantly receives heavy rains and rushing water. And perhaps people also partly feel the gentle beauty of the autumn river, like the beauty that Nguyen Khuyen mentioned in the autumn “Autumn pond cold and clear water”, the river water in autumn. perhaps also have similar looks, clear, pure and gentle. The wonderful beauty that Nguyen Du once used to describe Miss Kieu’s beauty was that “The autumn water, the spring paint/Flower is jealous, the willow is less green”. Contrary to the “easy” look of the river, the autumn bird’s wings have a hurried and urgent look. The bird’s wings represent the vast open sky, the coming autumn also means that the weather is starting to get cold, those birds may begin to rush to find food, build solid nests to wait for winter to come. , or maybe the birds are hurrying to fly south to avoid the cold. In summary, the contrast between the flowing river and the rushing birds aims to highlight the moment of change of seasons, which is inherently blurred in space, this has shown the extremely pure soul. In fact, the poet’s meticulous observation before the changing seasons. The two verses “Having a summer cloud / Squeezing half into autumn” is an artistic breakthrough, a very interesting association of Huu Thinh during the transition between summer and autumn. The author uses cloud anthropomorphism to give it an appearance, an action like a human, a little bit lazy, a little bit stuck in the summer, so it only “squisted half of me into autumn.” “. At the same time, the verse again emphasizes on the theme of the poem, which is “August”, which means that the true autumn has not yet been entered.

“How much sun is still left?

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

Ư

This is a stanza that summarizes many of the philosophies that the author wants to convey to readers after going through many years of life. With his experience and meticulous observation, Huu Thinh made comparative judgments about the two summers and autumns and gave a very profound sense of the moment of season change. At the time of summer-autumn transition, the sun is still there, but it has lost the harsh and frustrating part of summer, but has become gentle, warm and a little chilly of autumn, bringing to you people pleasant and relaxed moments. Along with that, if the rain of summer is long, heavy rain, the rain in the early autumn – late summer has reduced the rushing, constant nature, but just light and sparse drizzle. Going from the emotions of experience, Huu Thinh has left readers with very good philosophies about life in the last two verses of the poem “Thunder has been less surprising/On the old trees”. Thunder is a natural phenomenon that often accompanies the rains, when the rain subsides, the thunder also lessens. But in addition, this thunder also symbolizes the storms of life, of the years of youth, but when people have turned to autumn, that is, they have crossed the other slope of life. old trees”, then all those thunderstorms and thunders that were once surprising and wobbly became normal again. Because of course, everyone has to go through the immature years, the stumbles in life to be able to grow up, and when people have experience, they gradually become familiar with the change. change of life, become steady and see life with more calm and slow eyes.

Sang Thu was written when the author had reached the age of 35, which is more than a third of his life’s journey, perhaps right at that moment when Huu Thinh heard the scent of ripe guava, he was surprised and startled to realize come back, and at the same time suddenly think about the range of my life that is turning to autumn. Then, Huu Thinh, tried to write that moment of transition slowly, but couldn’t stop the hasty step of time, unexpectedly, the youth also flew by. So many brilliant and glorious years like summer are finally leaving, leaving behind many emotions in the author’s heart.

Perhaps, in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, autumn often inspires poetry and music the most. We can see a bunch of poems Autumn by Nguyen Khuyen, “The sound of autumn” by Luu Trong Lu or “This coming autumn” by Xuan Dieu… and also written on the topic of autumn, the poet Huu Thinh with poems ” To Autumn” has had feelings about the moment of changing seasons from late summer to early autumn that is new, delicate and gentle. The poem was composed in 1977, printed in the volume “From the trenches to the city”, very typical for Huu Thinh’s gentle, earnest and profound poetic artistic style.

At the beginning of the poem are the first impressions of gentle signals at the beginning of autumn in a very close and narrow collection space:

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about”

The first signal signaling the moment of the season change from late summer to autumn is the image of “guava scent” fluttering in the wind. The aroma of ripe guava is both familiar and new. Familiar because it is a fragrance often associated with the countryside and villages of the Vietnamese people, very rustic and rustic. But if in old poetry, poets when describing autumn scenes are often associated with autumn ponds, autumn sky or brilliant yellow chrysanthemum flowers, a dry yellow leaf… then here, Huu Thinh feels the trust again. The first signal that signals the moment of the transition of summer to autumn is the scent of guava. That has created a new way of feeling and describing the poet’s autumn scene. The fragrant aroma of ripe guava has been described by the author through the verb “pha”. The word “pha” describes a passionate, rich scent, spreading in the wind. “Se wind” is a kind of wind only in autumn, a bit miserable, it will be cold. And it was the first wind of that season that brought the scent to spread throughout the space, creating the beauty of autumn.

In the coming autumn, there is not only the wind, the scent of guava, but also the mist. The romantic autumn space is slightly misty, making the autumn scene more romantic. The mist is personified through the verb “sluggish”, which has the effect of describing the delicate, gentle mists as if deliberately slowing down, as if nostalgic not wanting to step into autumn completely. The alley here is both the real lane of the village, the alley; It is both the gateway of time as it tilts the boundary between the two seasons, summer does not want to pass and autumn does not want to come.

The poet’s previous emotions before the autumn signals were described by the author through the word “sudden”, expressing surprise, surprise, surprise when discovering those signals. And nature, heaven and earth have been opened by the author and received by all the senses with subtle and gentle vibrations: smell (guava scent), touch (wind se), sight (slow fog). From all the above signals (wind, incense, dew) the author came to the conclusion: “It seems autumn has arrived”. This is a guess by feeling, by the intuition of the soul. “Seems” is a modality of low confidence, uncertain, still vague. This emotional state is not only suitable for the scene, but also very well with the mood logic. Because the signals of autumn are invisible signals, without shapes, clear and specific colors, the poet has feelings of surprise, dismay, and a little confusion before the autumn signal. .

If the first stanza, the resulting space is narrowed in a very close and narrow space, then in the second stanza, the collected space has been enlarged in amplitude with a higher and further view, from the ground to the sky:

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn”

The image of the river is personified through the word “easy”, ie slow, leisurely. The river is no longer rushing, rushing to flow before the floods of summer, but instead, it becomes calm, slowly, gently, drifting. It seems that the river also hesitated as if it wanted to hold on to summer, not wanting to go to autumn. Contrasting with the “easy” of the river is the “rush” state of the birds’ wings, which are busy flying away to avoid the cold when they begin to feel the cold of the early autumn weather. The art of contrasting in the first two verses creates a very beautiful, well-tuned, and full of figurative poetic image, and at the same time makes the collection space become more open and spacious.

Closing the stanza is the image of a cloud personified with the act of “squeezing half of yourself”. Poetic images are rich in shaping properties in space and are meaningful in describing the movement of time. The soft, bitter white cloud stretched like a silken sheet across the sky, very gentle and graceful. And clouds are also the slanting boundary between summer and autumn. The scene becomes both damaged and real, which is the product of the author’s very poetic and very unique and new imagination. In short, with a system of beautiful images, rich in shaping properties in space, combined with the art of anthropomorphism and contrast, the poet has successfully portrayed the scene of heaven and earth at the beginning of autumn. Dynamic, delicate, gentle. Surely Huu Thin must be a talented writer, an artist’s soul and a passionate love for nature to create such a beautiful and romantic poem about autumn.

From the feelings of wistfulness, agitation and intense vibrations before the moments of autumn and autumn in stanzas one and two, the poet switched to a contemplative and contemplative tone of life:

“How much sun is still left

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees.”

The poet is delicate and sensitive when it comes to detecting changes in the weather. It is still thunder, rain, sunshine, the weather phenomena of summer, but in this moment of change of season, there has been a change in level. The blazing heat of summer has gradually faded, no longer as harsh as it was in the middle of summer; The sudden torrential downpours have also subsided. Thunder and lightning followed by violent storms also lessened, also became much more sparse. Words like “still”, “diminished”, “also reduced” have the effect of describing those natural phenomena (thunder, rain, sunshine) that have decreased in extent and intensity when heaven and earth are changing. The end of summer and early autumn seasons are very gentle and difficult to recognize. However, with a delicate and sensitive soul, the poet discovered that transformation of nature and the universe.

From the phenomenon of nature, the poet ponders and contemplates about life:

“Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

“Thunder” is a metaphorical image, symbolizing the effects of the external environment with the fluctuations of life. “Old trees” are perennial branches, luxuriant branches and roots, deeply rooted in the ground. These rows of trees have experienced many stormy seasons with the changes of heaven and earth. And it represents people who have gone through so many difficulties, hardships and dangers on the way of life. Thus, with the art of metaphor, the poet expresses contemplation and contemplation about human life: experienced people will become more stable in the face of life’s challenges. At the time of writing this poem, Huu Thinh was only over thirty years old, but Huu Thinh considered himself an experienced person. Perhaps this comes from his background as a soldier, having gone through so many difficulties, hardships, hardships; With so many mourning, sacrifices, and losses in the fierce battlefield… it has trained the poet to have a strong sense of courage and the will to rise up, daring to cope with all the unusual fluctuations that life has. will happen. Putting the verse “thunder is also less surprising” into a system of verses in stanzas one and two like “the dew drifts through the alley” and “swallowing half into autumn”, the reader suddenly realizes the longing clinging to the poet’s time when he realizes that the autumn of creation is also the “fall” of human life…

The poem is written in five-letter form, beautiful and evocative poetic images, clear and expressive language have the effect of describing the states of the landscape and the subtle and sensitive feelings of the poem. before nature, the universe and the sky when the beginning of autumn. After reading the poem, we can see the novelty in Huu Thinh’s way of feeling autumn, and at the same time see the poet’s deep love of life and nature.

Like spring, autumn is always a subject that evokes many emotions for poets. Each person has their own way of seeing and describing, bearing their own personal imprint. There are poets, autumn is a sad willow shape, fading shirt color, and the sound of yellow leaves of a bewildered deer. Huu Thinh also contributed a new look to the autumn poetry collection of the nation. He is a poet who writes a lot, writes well about people, life in the countryside, about autumn. His autumn poems carry a wistful feeling, lingering in front of the clear and gently changing heaven and earth. This is clearly shown in the song “Sang Autumn” which he composed at the end of 1977.

The poem describes the state of amazement at the scene where the earth and sky are changing seasons from summer to autumn. Unlike other poets, feel autumn through the yellow color of chrysanthemum flowers, the leaves of the field corn or through the rustling of falling yellow leaves. Huu Thinh welcomes autumn with another flavor: Guava.

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind”

“Suddenly realizing” is an unprepared state, like involuntarily, stunned to feel, amidst the typical sounds, flavors and colors of heaven and earth in the autumn. The poet recognizes the signal of the change of seasons from the gentle, cool and dry wind carrying the scent of guava. “Pha” is an impact verb used as a way of affirming the appearance of steam in space: “guava scent”, a scent that is not easily recognized, because guava flavor is not a scent. fragrant, passionate but only a faint scent gently carried in the early autumn wind, but it is enough to awaken emotions in people’s hearts.

Not only does the poet feel autumn with his sense of smell and touch, but the poet also feels the autumn mist in the changing seasons. The mist also seems to want to fully enjoy the moment of autumn, so it doesn’t want to move its feet:

“The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about”

The figurative word “sluggish” evokes a feeling of hesitant attachment, making us feel like a leisurely use, evoking a vivid autumn scene in silence, leisurely, and peace. Is “sluggish” a rhythmic interruption, slow movement or is it also the vibration in the poet’s soul? A little surprised, a little sad, the poet discovered the very beauty of the autumn space. “It seems” is a modal word that describes the author’s mood when he discovers the presence of autumn. The presence of morning mist along with guava scent made the poet startled. It’s not the images that have become conventional anymore, but the details are new and unexpected. Perhaps to Huu Thinh, the scent of guava is very familiar to the Vietnamese people, but very strange to the poetry that the author introduced in a very natural way.

Then autumn is observed in larger, more layered spaces:

“River is at ease

Birds start to hurry and

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn”

If in the first stanza, autumn is just a prediction with a little surprise, then in this stanza, the author can confirm: Autumn has come. Autumn is everywhere, very visible and specific. The river no longer rolls violently like the rainy days of summer, but flows smoothly and peacefully. All movement seemed to slow down somewhat, only the birds began to hurry. The cold autumn weather makes them have to prepare flights to fight the cold when winter comes. It takes a lot of subtlety to be able to recognize the rush in the wings of the flying birds because autumn is just beginning, very gentle, very gentle. The poet’s point of view is gradually raised from the river, then to the wide sky:

“There is a summer cloud, half of me to autumn”

The feeling of changing seasons described by Huu Thinh is very interesting. This is a very new and unique discovery of his. Autumn has just begun, so the summer clouds are leisurely and gracefully “squeezing half of themselves into autumn”. Clouds like a soft silk in the sky are still summer, half are leaning towards autumn. The picture changing seasons thus becomes more vivid and expressive.

In the last stanza, the moment of season change is no longer expressed by the poet by direct feeling but by contemplation and contemplation:

“How much sun is still left

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

The late summer sun is still hot, still bright, but fading. These days of change of season have reduced the torrential rains. It’s still sunny, it’s still raining, it’s like summer, but the level is different. At this time, the sudden thunders and showers were no more. The last two verses evoke many interesting thoughts and associations.

“Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

The voice of the poem is very low, the verse is not only forced to tell, it is a feeling but also a contemplation and contemplation. The phrase “old trees” evokes many associations. Human life is like a tree, also young, mature and old. Is it possible that the age of the tree is the age of human life. Images have both realistic and symbolic meanings. The maturity and calmness of the trees before thunder and storms in the autumn is also the experience and maturity of people when they are old. Is the autumn of human life the end of the exciting days of youth, to open a new season, a new space that is more profound, calm, and steady. At the age of “turning to autumn”, people are no longer surprised by the unusual effects of the external environment and life.

In the past, the color of autumn is often associated with the image of yellow leaves falling in the alley, dry leaves rustling… And we thought that only those things were the characteristics of autumn. But coming to “Sang Autumn” by Huu Thinh, the reader suddenly realizes a scent of guava, a mist, a river, a cloud, a ray of sunshine. Such close things also make up the unique features of Vietnam’s autumn and this is what makes the attraction of “Sang Autumn”.

The poem ends in a natural sequence. That is also the emotional development of the author at the time of autumn. The poem reminds us of a beautiful picture of nature at the time of summer – autumn in the northern countryside. Huu Thinh’s verses seem to have something profound and secretive, which is very suitable for the way of thinking and speaking of rural people. The poem helps us to feel the passionate affection, the delicate soul of the poet rich in his love for nature.

A short poem with a rustic five-word verse, simple language but deep meaning, simple but sexy images. Huu Thinh has sketched a beautiful picture of nature with many sensitive emotions. Reading Huu Thinh’s poetry, we feel more love for our country, the more we feel that we need to make efforts to contribute to building a richer and more beautiful homeland.

“Sang Autumn” is a five-language poem by Huu Thinh, once loved by many people. The poem consists of three stanzas; Each four-sentence stanza is a beautiful and peaceful autumn of heaven and earth, created in the early autumn – new autumn, autumn suddenly comes.

“Song Autumn” presents a delicate, light, and talented artistic style, expressing the feelings and emotions of the author before the beauty and miraculous transformation of nature in the early morning. collect. The perceived object is the autumn landscape in the countryside in the North of our country.

For poet Xuan Dieu, the first signal of autumn is the “fading” color of the leaves “woven” by the hand of nature among thousands of trees:

“Here comes autumn, next autumn

With faded apricots woven with gold leaf.”

(This is next autumn)

But for Huu Thinh, it is the “guava scent” of the country garden that is “breathed in” in the chilly autumn wind. life:

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw it in the wind.”

“Pha” means strong and radiates into a stream (Vietnamese – Hoang Phe Dictionary). Huu Thinh does not describe, but only evokes, giving readers associations with the golden color, the fragrant and fragrant aroma emanating from the ripe guava fruits in the countryside garden in the late summer and early autumn days. Because the autumn wind is “se” cold, the new guava scent is more passionate and wafts into the heavens and the earth and the souls of people.

Many people already know: Thach Lam, Vu Bang, Nguyen Tuan, Bang Son, Nguyen Dinh Thi,… have written beautifully about the flavor of Com Vong (Hanoi), a cherished beauty about the autumn flavor of their homeland. country:

“The morning is as cool and clear as the old morning

The autumn wind blows the new flavor of nuggets…”

(Country – Nguyen Dinh Thi)

The “guava fragrance” visible in the song “Sang Autumn” is a novelty in Huu Thinh’s poetry, imbued with rustic colors.

After the “guava scent” and “the wind se”, the poet refers to the autumn dew. Nor is it the “cold autumn dew… Autumn smoke builds the city” in Tan Da’s “Cat collecting money”, nor is it the cold dew drop and the sad autumn sound of the old days: “The branches are covered with dew, the sound is It’s the autumn dew filled with a “sluggish” mood, deliberately slowing down to prolong time:

“The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about.”

The autumn dew has been humanized; The two words “slowly” very poetically describe the slow walk of autumn. If the words “suddenly realized” express the emotion of surprise, the two words “seem” express the conjecture of a dream. The lake just discovered and felt.

The word “se” rhymes with the word “about” (rhyme, rhyme, rhyme) has contributed to creating a richness of rhyme and music, making the voice of the poem gentle, immense and sexy.

The artistic space of the painting “Song Autumn” is expanded, at the height and width of the sky with flying birds and drifting clouds, at the length of the river through the next second stanza:

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself into autumn.”

Autumn river in the North of our country, clear blue water, smoothly drifting: “White clears the river, calms the sheet” (“The wings of autumn afternoon” – Ba Huyen Thanh Quan). The river is full, so it is “easy”, drifting slowly as if it were deliberately slow, lacking in urgency, taking a lot of time… Birds fly “in a hurry”, that is flocks of tiled cuckoos, flocks of guinea pigs, flock of birds in the opposite season, avoiding the cold, flying from the far north to the south. Among those flocks of birds that fly “in a hurry” are there flocks of wild geese that poet Nguyen Khuyen mentioned in “Autumn Bay”:

“An hour in the air which geese?”

The river, the bird’s wings, the autumn clouds are all anthropomorphized. The autumn picture becomes charming, full of poetry. Huu Thinh does not use words such as: wandering, floating, floating, lightly drifting, … but using words squeezed.

“There are summer clouds
Squeeze half of yourself into autumn.”

Clouds seem to stretch out, squeeze up, lay horizontally in the sky, let down. Huu Thinh’s poem describing the autumn clouds is quite interesting and unique: the way of choosing words and using words is very creative.

The last stanza expresses some of the poet’s feelings and thoughts when looking at the scene in the early autumn days:

“How much sun is still left?
The rain has subsided
Thunder is also less surprising
On older trees”

Sunshine, rain, thunder, natural phenomena in the time of season change: summer – autumn are delicately felt by Huu Thinh. The words: still, have diminished, also less surprising, very well describe the duration and existence of things and nature such as autumn sun, autumn rain, early autumn thunder. Summer is still holding on. Summer sunshine, rain, and thunder seem to still haunt the trees and the sky. Looking at the scenery in the autumn at the change of seasons, from that scene, the poet ponders about life. “Thunder” and “old trees” are metaphors that make up the meaning of the song “Tomorrow”. Sunshine, rain, and thunder are natural fluctuations, but also symbolize changes, transformations, difficulties and challenges in life. The image of “older trees” is a metaphor for a class of people who have experienced and been forged in many hardships and difficulties:

“Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

Huu Thinh wrote the poem “Sang Autumn” in the early 80s of the last century.At that time, our country was independent and unified, but was facing many difficulties and new challenges in terms of economy and economic development. The two concluding sentences of the poem mean affirming the tough and good bravery of our people during those difficult and difficult years.

“Sang Autumn” is a beautiful poem by Huu Thinh, printed in the collection of poems “From the trenches to the city” published in May 5.1985. So many emotions overflowing in beautiful, charming, poetic poems. The poet does not use crayons to draw brilliant autumn branches and colors. It’s just a few touches, describing a little but evoking a lot, but the author has brought out a light, clear, peaceful, immense soul… full of poetry.

The art of personification and metaphor, the rather subtle way of choosing words, are the successes of Huu Thinh that left a beautiful and profound impression in “Sang Autumn”. , ways of thinking, new ways of expressing themselves, quiet and innocent functions. “Tomorrow” is a voice of the heart to cover, send, and report the autumn of the country’s homeland; a warm and earnest autumn.

Writing on the topic of autumn, if in medieval poetry there were a cluster of three collection poems “Thu cigarette”, “Thu bay”, “Autumn humidity” by Nguyen Khuyen, and in the new poem “The sound of autumn” by Luu Trong Lu, the poem Modern song after 1975 stands out with the poem “Sang Autumn” by Huu Thinh. This is a poem that depicts the picture of nature at the change of seasons with the gentle changes of creation. At the same time, the poem also shows the subtle feelings of the author.

Huu Thinh is a young poet who grew up in the nation’s resistance war against America to save the country. The poem “Sang Autumn” was composed by him in 1977, printed in the volume “From the trench to the city”. The beginning of the work is the unexpected and startled mood of the author when he realizes that autumn has returned to nature and people:

“Suddenly recognized the scent of guava

Throw in the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about”

The first sign that helps Huu Thinh realize that the weather has turned to autumn is the scent of guava. This is one of the typical features of autumn in the North. The gentle autumn breezes carry the scent of ripe guava, making people feel extremely comfortable. The autumn wind is not as strong as the Northeast monsoon, it is just a gentle breeze that brings the first cold of the season. Not too gentle nor too rushing, but this kind of wind is enough to spread the guava flavor in the countryside into the space. According to Hoang Phe’s “Vietnamese Dictionary”, “phala ignites and radiates into a stream” suggesting the passionate scent of guava drifting with the wind. If other poets associate autumn with the familiar scent of nuggets or yellow leaves, Huu Thinh associates autumn with the scent of guava. It can be said that this is a new feature, the author’s creativity attracts readers.

Not only feeling autumn with smell and touch, Huu Thinh also feels autumn visually through the image of autumn dew “slowing”. It seems that they are half wanting to go, half wanting to stay and are deliberately drifting slowly to become attached to the natural scenery, so that people can admire their fragile beauty. The white mists of the moon moved slowly, acting as if they were deliberately trying to make people recognize them, recognize the signal of autumn. Although it is felt by the synthesis of the senses, perhaps due to the unexpected gain, the poet has not yet prepared to receive it. The word “seems” has shown the wistfulness, vagueness of the author’s surprise.

Huu Thinh has broadened his vision, observed more extensively and carefully to be sure of his feelings:

“River is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze half of yourself to autumn”.

The autumn river becomes gentler than ever. It flows slowly, evoking peace and tranquility. It seems that the river still lingers with the summer that does not want to end, so it deliberately slows down to preserve what is left of the past summer. Contrary to the slowness of the river is the rush and hurry of the bird’s wings. Autumn is also the time when the birds prepare to go south to avoid the cold to cope with the harsh weather of winter. Humanization measures have made the picture of nature in early autumn become soulful, close and lively. This measure causes the cloud to take on the state of human regret. Because of regret, the cloud only “squeezes half of itself into autumn” and the other half is missing summer.

The author closed the poem with profound contemplative lines:

“How much sun is still left

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”.

Sunshine, rain, and thunder are indispensable features of summer. The sun is still hot but not too harsh like the hot summer days. The summer showers are also less frequent and the thunder is softer. The words “diminishing”, “reducing” both express the level and intensity of the phenomena of sunshine, rain and thunder. Autumn’s thunder has faded, less intense, so the trees are no longer startled by the thunder. The last two lines of the poem also have hidden meanings. “Thunder” symbolizes the unusual sounds and echoes that occur in life, “the old tree line” is a metaphor for people who have experienced many difficulties and stumbles. Like “trees of old age”, when people have experienced storms in life, they will be more stable, calm and brave. At the same time, there are also useful reflections for yourself.

We are no longer surprised by the unusual happenings of the world around us. Because storms will help plants root deeper into the ground, storms will help each person grow more mature. That is also the philosophy that poet Huu Thinh wants to convey to readers. Let’s keep a positive attitude, proactive attitude to be able to cope with difficulties and challenges in this life.

The poem is written in pentagram to help the author easily express the emotional circuit and delicate perception of the natural picture in the autumn. Simple poetic language, highly expressive poetic images have created a beautiful picture of changing seasons. It is a picture inspired by Huu Thinh – a person rich in experience.

At the end of 1977, when the war ended and peace was restored, on an autumn afternoon, I went to the outskirts of Hanoi to visit a ripe guava garden, the taste was mild… a little surprised, a little fluttering, Huu Thinh instant love scene. In the golden sunset, the poem Sang Autumn was born. Imagine we are with the poet standing in the middle of the guava orchard, reciting his wonderful poem.

“Suddenly recognized the scent

iPlunge into the wind

The fog drifts through the alley

Thu seemed to have about

The river is at ease

Birds start to rush

There are summer clouds

Squeeze your half to fall

How much sun is still left?

The rain has subsided

Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”

The poem is written in a 5-line verse form, concise and concise. The whole poem is a gentle tone, sometimes thoughtfully. The poem is the vibration of the poet’s soul before nature when the earth and sky turn to autumn, a beautiful picture of changing seasons.

At the beginning of the poem, readers can immediately recognize Huu Thinh’s subtle feelings when the weather turns to autumn:

“Suddenly realized the scent of guava Pha in the wind”.

The word “suddenly” expresses a sudden, sudden in feeling. But it was that surprise that was so poetic and lovely on an autumn afternoon in the countryside of the North, what did the poet suddenly realize? “The scent of guava blows into the wind”. Why guava flavor and not other flavors? One can put in the autumn picture the sweet flavors of field corn, green nuggets, swan flowers… but Huu Thinh does not. Standing in the middle of a ripe yellow guava garden, in the middle of the late summer and early autumn weather, he realized the sweet and sour taste of ripe yellow guava. The taste is simple, rustic, domestic, very familiar to the homeland. Yet few realize its charm. By feeling very delicately, by smell and sight, the poet suddenly recognized the signs of nature when autumn returned. We are really moved by the author’s “sudden realization”. Surely the poet must be very attached to nature, to his homeland, to have such a delicate and sensitive feeling?

The sign of the change of seasons is also shown in the wind that carries the scent of ripe guava. The wind will be a light breeze, a bit cold, also known as the pig wind. The wind will be cold, it will blow, blowing into the landscape, blowing into people’s hearts a feeling of caressing and fluttering. How unique is the word “pha” used in the verse “Pha into the wind se”! It describes the speed of the wind, and contributes to the suddenness of feeling: the guava flavor is available but no one notices, but Huu Thinh suddenly realized and was moved by the scent of the domestic wind. .

Not only the guava flavor in “the wind se”, the weather in autumn also has pictures:

“The fog drifts through the alley”

The word “sluggish” conjures up many associations. The author personifies the fog to express its deliberate slowness in motion. It flew over the alley, entangled in the fence, the line of dry trees in front of the alley at the beginning of the village. It has the graceful, graceful look of a mist, a silhouette of a young woman or a certain girl. Not only that, the beauty of the word “sloppy” is also mood-evoking. The fog is easy or people are thinking or the author’s mood is “sluggish”?

The first stanza ends with the verse: “It seems that autumn has come”.

“Looks like” does not mean uncertain but expresses surprise, surprise and a little wistfulness. From the wind that brings with it the scent of ripe and golden guava in the garden to the graceful grace of a mist that hangs unhurriedly in front of the alley, the author has realized the gentle but quite obvious transformation of weather and nature in the moment of season change with the delicate eyes and sensitive soul of a poet who loves nature, loves autumn attached to life in the countryside, of a soldier who has spent many years war month. If it wasn’t for Huu Thinh, would we have felt the charm of autumn, and would have had a poetic mood?

In the autumn, it is full of folk folk, rustic village, bold breath of the field, but still clear philosophy.

“Thunder is also less surprising

On older trees”.

The rain lessens, the summer thunder is less when it’s autumn, the trees no longer have to be startled suddenly. That is the law of nature. But the two verses also have an allegorical meaning: “Thunder” is the echoes, unusual noises of the outside world, of life. “Old trees” are people who are experienced, old and they will be more stable against the impact of the external environment.

When composing Sang Thu, Huu Thinh along with the nation had just experienced the fierce years of war. That battle was like a hot, frustrating summer. Living in peaceful years, on a peaceful autumn afternoon in the countryside, the author feels the serenity in his soul like “the river can flow freely” because in the past, even if people wanted to, they could not be easy. , is sluggish, so even if he encounters life’s ups and downs, the author still “calmly accepts to face it, no obstacle can defeat it”. The two verses contain thoughts and experiences about people and life.

If in stanza 1, the author’s emotional state is only “suddenly”, “as if”, then in the remaining stanza, the movement of autumn has been concretized by the changing nuances of creation. :

“River is at ease

Birds began to hurry.”

Why is the river “easy” and the bird “hurried”? These are very subtle and scientifically grounded feelings, but still rich in expression. “River is at ease” because in autumn, the river begins to dry up, slow down, not rushing like in summer, very relaxed and slow moving. As for the flocks of birds in a hurry because the summer birds shelter from the rain, they have little chance to find prey. Now in the drier autumn, they take advantage of hunting for food and shelter from the cold in the South when it is warm. The two activities seem to be opposing each other, but with the anthropomorphic style, Huu Thinh has injected the soul of the person into the object, the author has made the river more charming, closer to the people, showing a beautiful and open space. poetic soul.

The signs of autumn are also described very vividly through pictures:

“There are clouds in summer, half of me to fall”.

This is an interesting, creative association. Summer clouds are often gray and black, creating a feeling of heaviness. Autumn clouds are clear and green. “Who’s skin is dyed but blue” (Nguyen Khuyen). In fact, there is no such thing as a cloud. Why there is a clear division, the eye can see in the sky. It is a cloud in the author’s imagination. But it is the image of summer connected to autumn by half a cloud floating, also loose, sluggish, floating on the floor that does not make the reader feel how beautiful the space and time at the change of seasons is! It can be said that these are the two most beautiful verses in the poem and the most typical of the autumn weather.

What other manifestations of weather do poets feel when summer turns to autumn?

“There’s still a lot of sunshine. The rain has eased.”

The modal pronoun “how much” expresses the plural. Uncountable. How can the sun be counted, but the author feels that the end of summer and the beginning of autumn have become less hot and humid, the rays of the sun have become less brilliant, and the torrential downpours have gradually decreased, not only less but also less rain. .

Huu Thinh also had verses and poems near these four poems, but not as talented, surprising and interesting. Such as:

“Walk all day

Haven’t come back yet.”

The coming of autumn is a gentle, poetic, mournful season, but also a philosophy, has continued the journey of national autumn poetry, contributed a loving autumn sound to the autumn of the homeland, bringing us love homeland through the beauty of Vietnam’s autumn.
