Textile Poetry: The Voice Of Modern Times

In modern poetry, if only on the theory of time, from the beginning of the Opium War in 1840 to the revolution of 1911 in 1911, it was only half a century ago. In the long river of Chinese poetry development, it was just a splash of spray.

However, because of the profound changes in the social and economic nature of China, the literature in this period has many unprecedented new contents. The striking aspect of modern poetry is that many poets try to take a picture of punctuated and punctuated sentences and take pictures of the rapidly changing reality and major historical events. From the poems that we can read in modern times, we can clearly see how the weak textile industry in China is declining under the heavy pressure of collusion between imperialism and bureaucrat capital.

Poets soon saw the further poverty of China's economy after five trading (1842). One of Zhang Ziyu's last words: "the city of Kam sang is full of seaside, and the green clouds look for gold and silver, and the poor trick opens the Middle Earth, and the millet is as cheap as dust." Tan Ying's poetry is more concise and clear. (fifteen of the book "Jiayin book")

The rumble of foreign goods and fire wheels is rolling everywhere, and there are many vivid and vivid records in the poem. Chiang Shi Chu wrote a "song of heaven" in Zizhu Lin, Tianjin: "Tian Mo is not drowning in poverty and open in the open, but the Emei ship is flying across the sky. The waves are not idle, but the thunder and lightning rush. A collection of bribes is worth billions of dollars. The opening of the nine markets is a showcase of mirage. Spotted, fringed, mixed, green, embroidered, and shellfish. The situation in Guangdong is also like Yang Jiluan's chant: "ocean breaking waves are boundless, and Cantonese people are spreading all kinds of new things." Who says the tower is a mirage but boasts a shark. Strange entry has been banned, food and trade have God. What are the loads of ships? (one of the six poems in the book of songs) the two poems depict exquisite and realistic, so that people can read them.

Customs Imported For ocean cargo, Western cloth and Yarn For the bulk. Ni Zaitian's "Western cloth" describes the Western cloth in the "fire wheel station": "the flow of brocade in the plane is broken, and the outside is flying." Yao Ying's "Holland feathers" sneers at the crafty of foreign profiteers and the ugly appearance of exotic treasures, and the language is bold and pungent: "Holland feathers are not easy to get. The great lady is dressed very well, and his mood is very moving. Wu Ling's Brocade brocade is gloomy. What's more, ordinary cloth and silk? Holland's small country connects the west, and the Seaway is so strong. In the past, every country tried to trade with each other, and Holland came to the basket every year. Red hair is strong for evil, and robbery does not make navigation. Today, the only species is red, but the price is much lower than the price. The world is very different and expensive. Sitting on the silkworm house makes the silk accumulate. Yu Jie! Food is full of clothes, cold and light. Hua Guan is not tired of Luo Qi. All the businessmen received their breath.

Western cloth and Western yarn are dumping heavily, and the market is looted, causing the looms to cease in the countryside. Weaver garment No food, no matter how anxious it is to tax the officials day and night, they naturally want to cry out and be angry. Deng Jiaji's "mauling weaving industry" said that the weaving industry was famous for its weaving skills. The rich businessman and the big businessman are selling to the no hands. Since the war, Xiangxiang has not yet resumed its business. Gather around the Quartet and creak the room. The engine room is open, the silk is not cheap, the ship carries the silk to go abroad, the rich does not have the poverty to be inconvenient. The price of silk is higher than that of pearls this year. Speaking of a loom maker, he has enough food and clothing every year. Now ten machines do not weave all their leisure time, then they have to shake the silk car. I sigh for the boy three, sir, the driver donated the emergency. The weeping of the boy took the weave of the weave woman. Fang Chun Yi's "weaving woman sigh", using song and Xing style, weeping and complaining to express the sigh of "not weaving women": "Hu Jie"! The farmer who does not weave or plough is howling. If you want to stop talking to the guest, you will swallow your words. The concubine is at the end of the cloth, buying the new Valley for the morning. There is Persian Hu in the market, and the price of the west is cheap and difficult. A thousand dollars is better than a quail, and three hundred can be a calf. Stop nine of my machines, and waste five of us. He said he would not go back, saying that tears were like rain. The poet reveals why "stop my nine machines" through the "joy" of "passing by the wayside". Fire, rat, ice, silk, fragrance, stone, and salt. It is of great significance to choose the two poems to choose the misery of the boy and the weave woman.

There are not many modern poems on textiles. Though few of the innovations and characteristics of art are mentioned in the above textile poems, they are worth cherishing the importance of studying closely the relationship between poetry and real life and studying the changes of modern social economy, especially the deep social causes of the outbreak of the 1911 Revolution.
