Threshold (Turgenev)

Suggestion: This is Turgenev's famous prose poem, and its expression and ideological connotation are similar to Haiyan's. The threshold can be understood as a symbol of the dividing line between participation in the revolution and non-participation, progress and backwardness, and some people understand all the difficulties and obstacles faced by revolutionaries. In teaching, we can carry out extended reading, focus on the symbolic meaning of the threshold, and experience the role of symbols in expressing the meaning of the article.

On the symbol of prose poetry;

Among all literary techniques, symbol is the darling of prose poetry. This is related to the exquisiteness of prose poetry. Symbolism is a skill that can achieve rich words and meanings, which can make prose poems contain rich emotions, profound thoughts and grand realms in a short space.

The definition of literary symbols can be roughly said that the meaning of an image is greater than itself. Symbols are often permeated with images and metaphors, which are difficult to distinguish. Generally speaking, image means what it says; The meaning of metaphor is not what it says; A symbol means both what it says and what it says. Compared with images and metaphors, symbols are the most abundant and the most difficult to master. American critic Lao Pauline once used a wonderful metaphor to accurately illustrate the richness of symbolic meaning: a symbol is like an opal, and its light energy radiates different colors at different angles of slow rotation.

There are many kinds of symbols, two of which are widely used, namely perceptual symbols and rational symbols.

Emotional symbols refer to abstract feeling forms or natural images, which are originally heartless and unintentional, but present some personal emotional significance in people's aesthetic experience. For example, Wang Erbei's Clouds: Two floating clouds meet by chance. They talked silently, and they traveled together. Two boats, raising their sails and drifting, suddenly the wind came and the boats disappeared, leaving no trace except the silent sky and the sea. Remember: the white sail at that moment. Poets express people's feelings with nature. In lyric prose poems, emotional symbols are often used, which is more expressive and aesthetic than directly expressing one's inner feelings.

The symbol of reason symbolizes an abstract idea or idea with the help of artistic images. For example, Baudelaire's Everyone's Monster. The whole poem is a vivid portrayal of a morbid society. People have completely lost their freedom, carrying a huge monster, which is more terrible than chains. It hooked the chest of the bearer with two huge front paws, making all the bearers become insensitive blind passers-by who can't control their own destiny. This is the power of rational symbol: it seems to leave life, but it expresses a deeper truth than life. The symbol of rationality is often used in philosophical prose poems.

Emotional symbols and rational symbols are non-fable symbols. There are moral symbols, the most prominent feature is that it is a group symbol first, and it is fixed on a page. Symbols and symbols don't need to be connected by imagination, but basically have a one-to-one relationship. Such as Lu Xun's Autumn Night and the Ancient City. The author outlines a short story with comic lines, endowing it with extremely rich connotations for readers to ponder carefully.
