Zhang Weifeng's poetry collection "Empty Mountain Lonely" takes Wa Mountain as the grand background, based on the people of the real subject, based on the natural things in the real world, and the words are clearly infiltrated with his love and deep affection for the land of Yunnan, showing the pursuit and collection of national consciousness. This work is a collection of new works written by him while he left Wa Mountain and worked in Kunming. If you are in a place for a long time, you will be immersed in it without knowing it, and only by jumping out can you see it clearly. After leaving the hometown, you can experience the uniqueness of your hometown by being in another field, and "experience needs to be recognized in difference". It is in this difference of experience, in the looming appearance and alternation of far and near Wa Mountain, that the poet walks into the silent mountains, into the ethereal natural world, and looks at the mountains, rivers and plants, extending the meditation and expansiveness of the mind. Finally, we can observe and think about the inside and outside of the world. the exploration and pursuit of the relationship between man and the world; A thorough reflection on the small and the grand, the transient and the eternal.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Weifeng is a poet who is quiet but sincere in his heart and embraces a blazing flame. Why? His words feel calming, cold, and even chilling. And when you read these sentences over and over again, you can find that their poems contain heavy life emotions, life thoughts, and the displacement and rotation of life, rippling with Zen philosophy on real life. The high mountains are firm and upright, walking in the mountains, giving the body and heart to this ancient and vivid land, the empty mountains are lonely but echoing the poet's inner voice, imitating the indifference and distance in the poet's eyes. It can be said that this collection of poems is Zhang Weifeng's re-writing and re-exploration of his hometown and the literary matrix of Wa Mountain.
The meaning of an individual's life in the world is the sublimation and internalization of an emotional value held up by the satisfaction and pleasure of the spiritual world, and those fame, fortune and wealth ultimately point to the spiritual destination. In the poem "In Yunnan", the poet writes about the geographical area of "Yunnan" and the field of spiritual sustenance as an individual life, telling the fluctuations of his mood in the form of a dialogue, pouring out the most real thoughts, and achieving the distant echo and telepathy between individual life and natural life in a cold and rational tone. "The beautiful poems I have written, you don't have to see / The journey I've taken, you don't have to know. You go your way / I go mine. We like, in the Hengduan Mountains / Separated by rivers, unable to visit each other / nor expected. We flow to our respective seas / Finally, where the two seas meet / Come to each other's doors and talk to each other. You don't have to see any of me / You should understand what I mean" ("In Yunnan"). This is not only the call of people to the region, but also the silent response of the region to the people. People were born and raised in that land, and from that land to a wider field, they may eventually return to the place where they were born. In a kind of distant and close ambiguity, it is not only flowing to their respective oceans, running to their own distant places, but also a road of return and encounter. In the distance between the physical body and the closeness of the spirit, in the coupling and reproduction of the physical closeness and the spirit, man and the land converge in a certain time and space, and this intersection is the internalization after the externalization of the spiritual world, and the sublimation after precipitation.
This poem is like a confession to Wa Mountain, engraved with the voice of Yunnan, Wa Mountain is a part of Yunnan, the poet is a child of Wa Mountain, about equal to a part of Wa Mountain, in this layer of nesting, inclusion and inclusion of the relationship, the poet is looking at the mutual meaning of the vast and the small.
The poet is good at starting from the current reality, and through rich imagination, he explores the depth of history, the future and the inner life of life. In the connection between the real world and the historical space, the subjectivity of human beings is highlighted, as well as the overall observation and extensive thinking of the human world. In the poem "The Trapped Body", the poet was forced to stop on the wind and rain bridge due to the wind and rain, which is of course not only the wind and rain in reality, but also the touch of historical smoke and dust. The poet takes a city lord who is besieged by soldiers as an example, "If I hand over the city, the flesh and blood will be blurred/If I don't hand it over, I will die in history-" The city lord's insistence on a city is similar to the adherence of contemporary people to life, each of us is the city lord of life, and the poet uses the fate of the city to mirror the current human society. You surrender to life, you will be trampled and tormented by life, you advance to the depths of life, stick to your own city, you may not win, but you will die in history. Undoubtedly, those who die in history are more glorious, which is a reflection on existence and non-existence, the mode of existence and the appearance of existence.
Reality is not only the relationship between past history and the present world, future time and space, but also a kind of fit from cause to effect, from one to the other. When the poet walks into nature, approaches those flowers and trees, in a dislocation of the relationship between subject and object, in a kind of reversal of the mind between man and external objects, he obtains the telepathy of the interaction between the two. In the fusion and flow of the spirit, the poet's examination of individual life and soul, and the acceptance of the causality of the natural world, are thus formed. The law of the green leaf "This is very much like / The cause and effect of things in the dark / Only this cause is this effect / And only the other cause can cause the other effect" ("Ode to Water Plants"). Standing at this end of life and looking at the other side of life is not only the natural life influencing people's consciousness, but also the romantic journey of the human soul yearning for tranquility and piety. "I watched the aquatic plants for an afternoon / They soothed my heart deeply, just like them / It was also the first time I met a viewer as serious as me". This is a two-way journey between man and nature, and the two are the freehand and spiritual reflection of each other's soul.
Zhang Weifeng's poetic emotions originate from that ancient and flexible land, from his exploration and decryption of the true nature of life, and from the cognition and clarity of the whole world after extensive thinking. Leaving his hometown, in the diffuse and burning of homesickness, his sense of life rises; Walk into the natural world and real life, and express rational emotions in the colorful daily life. With his own experience as a living material, he writes his love for the world and paints the spiritual map and soul curve of people...... All this constitutes the poet's capture of the emotions of life, the connotation of life, this strong emotion and the silent empty mountain set off each other, burning with poetic flames, refining rational philosophy, radiating the true beauty and infinite breadth of human nature.
Wandering in "The Mountains", "In the mountains, there are trees, grass, stones / And the night." I went in through the dark paths / Lost in the valley where the moonlight hid. If there are birds and beasts / If there are ghosts wandering. I'm willing to be with them." There are four distinct seasons between the mountains and fields, there is no nightlife in the city, and there is no all-night glamour. Everything here is natural, growing and germinating from nature, and eventually returning to the dust of nature, which is the cycle of life, the change of natural state. At the bottom of the valley where the moonlight hides, the poet says that he is willing to join the ranks of birds, animals, and wandering ghosts, which is a yearning for the natural world and a reflection of the loneliness of the soul. It is a kind of pursuit of mountain life, which reflects the poet's hope to stay away from the noisy life of the present, and reflects the reflection and interrogation of the mechanical life brought about by postmodern industry. Those trees, grasses, and stones are a kind of life imprint, cultural symbols. Walking in this primitive environment, the poet feels that he is a wandering spirit in this mountain—a wandering spirit returning from the city. It is in this state of nature that the poet keenly captures the emotions of life in the past, arouses the infinite vitality of life, and once again glows with the brilliance of individual life.
As he said in "Looking at Lushui County from a Distance at Night": "This world has many places / Even if we have not arrived / have not gone deep, they still light themselves / still full of temperature and love themselves". The life in the galaxy universe and the world of all things are equal, and people are individual beings with subjective initiative and independent consciousness, even so, we still can't enjoy all the scenery in the world, and we can't see all the scenery in the world. The brilliance and prosperity of life are not transferred by the will of any one person, and the tenacity and tenacity of life are not stagnant due to storms. No matter what kind of life, there will be all kinds of misfortunes on the road of growth, but the long river of time, space, and life is endless. In the awe and acceptance of life, in the praise and praise of the unknown, and in the yearning and beautiful expectation of the unknown place, the poet obtains the poetry of life, the supreme beauty of life, and the width and temperature of life.
"The Breathing Dead" is a song about the search for the true meaning and mystery of life, and uses a playful tone to tell the ultimate destination of life. Zhang Weifeng's "Breathing Dead" explores the relationship between mental trance and the nothingness of life, and the bumpy road brings continuous confusion to the living individual, and on this long road, "waiting for me" and "bless me" are both the search for the habitat of the soul and the call for spiritual comfort. The last line of the poem, "Breathing dead, thank you for joining you / And you don't turn me away from a thousand miles". This is to others, but also to oneself, since people will eventually die, we all have to join the ranks of "breathing dead", why can't we work together to overcome the difficulties of life? "Since we met / we shook hands and talked and hugged each other". This is the elevation and leap of the realm of life.
Zhang Weifeng gained the value of life and emotional value in his encounter with all things in nature, and perceived the weight of individual life, the weight of real life, and the volume of the world. This is his freeze frame of the secret mind and spiritual perception, the search and exploration of the vast world.
In the afterword to this collection of poems, he said: "Thanks to poetry, it has given me light, let me meet all the good things, have different textures of life emotions, and let me gain the wisdom of understanding life little by little." In the lonely and deep empty mountain, the poet echoes the thoughts and feelings of the heart with the sound waves of the heart, expresses the true emotions of life, ignites the flame of the soul in the clear silence, and shines in every lonely and difficult corner of the world.
