What does Xu Zhimo's Happiness of Snowflakes mean?

Yang Fei: Looking for it. -Xu Zhimo's life is to find the romantic love he needs and the ideal life he wants.

Fly: fly-escape from this bound reality.

Original poem:

If I were a snowflake,

Handsome in midair,

I have to know my direction clearly-

Fly, fly, fly-

This land has my direction.

Don't go to that cold valley,

Don't go to the desolate foothills,

I won't be disappointed in deserted streets-

Fly, fly, fly-

Look, I have my direction!

Flying in the air,

Identify quiet homes,

Waiting for her to visit in the garden—

Fly, fly, fly-

Ah, she smells like cinnabar plum!

I was naked at that time,

Ying Ying touched her skirt,

Close to her tender heart-

Dissolve, dissolve, dissolve-

Melt in her gentle heart

The Happiness of Snowflakes is a pure poem (that is, a "pure poem" proposed by Valery).

Here, the real "I" was completely evacuated, and snowflakes replaced "I". Snowflakes are flying in mid-air, flying straight to the "quiet house" and meeting her in the "garden" until they melt into "her gentle heart".

Poets compare themselves to "snowflakes", using metonymy and taking flying snowflakes as images. "She" is the poet's imaginary lover, and also a kind of sublimated sacred love, which skillfully conveys the poet's persistent pursuit of love and beautiful ideal. But this is a snowflake, full of the poet's thoughts and worn by the soul. This is the snowflake of spirit, he is the spirit of human beings, and he will die for beauty.

It is worth recalling that he did not feel pain or despair in the pursuit of beauty. On the contrary, he fully enjoyed the freedom of choice and the joy of love. Snowflakes "fly, fly, fly" is a very firm, cheerful and relaxed persistence, which is the result of the poet's self-knowledge and consciousness. In fact, the poet is crossing the reality to gain inner innocence and stick to lofty ideals. And this beauty, she lives in a quiet place, in and out of the snow garden, emitting the fragrance of cinnabar plum, and her heart is like a lake full of waves. She is an eternal illusion in modern aesthetics. The rotation, delay and final destination of snowflakes are completely consistent with the freedom, firmness and persistence of the poet's beautiful soul.

For the poet Xu Zhimo, there may be deep personal objective factors, but choosing "she" instead of "he" to find the dawn of the new century is the poet's internal motivation.
