Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry from the perspective of artistic thinking

In the dance once on stage You are the white fire of my life. (White Fire)

The fire becomes the nostalgia, the anxiety, the emptiness, the anxiety of people in love.

A day without you What do I do with the wind?

The wind softens your figure What can I do with fire The fire burns your lips.

Maybe you are interested!

(Day without you)

The image of the fire, sometimes flaring up strongly, sometimes smoldering, is like the persistent belief, like the will of a soldier who never wavers before the blows and bombs of the enemy. That fire is nurtured by the hatred of the enemy and the iron heart that is not easily shaken in patriots. That indomitable will has created an invincible fighting strength, from the smoldering flames within each of us it flares up to burn the enemy.

Oh fire of war

Even though it's just flickering like the flame at the end of a cigarette, it can burn down a thatched roof.

Burn your country Burn

(Soldier's love song)

The power of fire is the power of destruction and devastation, the power of sudden and decisive burning. It is the power that is compressed to restrain the enemy. Fire in Nguyen Trong Trong Tao's poetry is also the difficulties and challenges that people face in life, it is also hardship, it is death.

the fire that the soldier must face. Fire is sometimes an ornament to make the cheeks of a village girl rosy, sometimes it symbolizes the warmth of love. But more than anything, the fire of Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry is also the brutal crimes of the invaders and the undying belief in the peaceful and happy future of the nation.

Bite into my people Bite into this continent

The fields are on fire, the forests are on fire. The Truong Son range is filled with blood.

(Soldier's love song)

Fire has become a beautiful symbol, rich in ideals in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry. The fire symbolizes the power of belief, the power of fighting, of victory. Grass and fire in his poetry are two symbolic images, seemingly opposite but in fact they are mutual transformations. Grass is weak but full of life, fire is persistent but has immense destructive power.

3.3.2.6. Wind Symbol

Not only does Nguyen Trong Tao bring into his poetry the images of the Moon, the Stars, the Grass, Trees and Flowers, but in his poetry there also appear unique symbols with high generalization power, strangely attractive. That is the symbol of the Wind, Nguyen Trong Tao once compared poetry to the wind caressing the skin, it cannot be seen, nor can it be tied up, but can only be felt passing by. The image of the wind in his poetry also has something passionate, as if it wants to confess its love to the clouds, the sky, the moon and the stars, as if it wants to confess its love to the life of grass, trees and flowers.

but the boat is still the river, but the grass is still green, but life is still drunk, but the soul is still windy

(Nursery song for adults)

The poet's interpretation is strange, the word "still" is repeated, evoking a lovely vastness and spread. Because "the soul is still drunk", the poem is full of love, full of life, because "the soul is still wind", the poem keeps flying, flying forever in the human world... "Wind" is also a natural image built by the poet with soul, with love. The wind is invisible, unconscious, flying all its life, no one can grasp it, but Nguyen Trong Tao holds the wind in his heart and whispers deep things. If flowers, leaves, grass and trees are a natural entity, with shape, color, life and death, then what is wind? Nguyen Trong Tao does not answer about wind according to the interpretation of physics, is it square or circle? So the wind is invisible but becomes intentional:

The tree drops yellow leaves on me, the wind drops mist on me.

(Sleepwalking )

He gave the wind legs, gave the wind arms to run, gave the wind to embrace people, gave the wind breath:

windy road long rain

my eyes are sleepy like someone else's eyes

(The Lover)

The wind in poetry carries the soul, into poetry with so much sympathy, sharing people in life, in love:

I still owe the ao dai

a white breeze a good poem

(I still owe the ao dai)

Sometimes the wind brings with it a deep longing for a "blue eye", for a "hair", bringing with it nostalgia for a past love:

The wind opens the door to the old wilderness, your hair flies loose, the night returns.

(Horizon)

The poet gives "wind" its own shape and voice that only Trong Tao can clearly understand:

whispering at night, I heard the wind say she was the daughter of the old Diem

(Old love)

Sometimes "wind" is an indifferent object, an objective element witnessing human life, without changing its nature:

The winds that carry no thoughts also cool the summer and stop the cold of winter.

(Life )

Sometimes the poet himself incarnates into the wind, considering himself to be the wind. Happy wind. Sad wind. Happy wind. And lonely wind. All are in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry:

I am the wind

blow to exhaustion

from the sky melts into rain drops. Falling…

(Thien An)

The wind in Nguyen Trong Tao's mind is also a joy because it simply caresses the poetry, giving poetry new inspirations. The wind in his poetry is very strange, very new, sometimes cold, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle. The wind is sometimes in the form of colors: " the wind is sometimes pink - sometimes purple - sometimes light blue" (The Tree of Light ) or:

still the river of the distant past

still the embankment the wind is green and the moon is shining late at night (Love poem of a middle-aged person)

Wind is sometimes counted by quantity and described by action:

There are five winds caressing her cheeks

There are five waves gently undulating

(Flower Lullaby )

This active state of the wind is ultimately Nguyen Trong Tao's soul longing to be in harmony with the landscape and with people. By creating the image of the wind, he has poeticized the space of the universe, making it strangely intimate and integrated.

CHAPTER 3 SUMMARY:

With a free-spirited yet deeply lyrical poetic style, Nguyen Trong Tao has enriched the pages of Vietnamese poetry in the new era. The hustle and bustle, the joys and sorrows of the world cannot stop the flow of contemporary Vietnamese poetry. And in that strong flow, Nguyen Trong Tao has contributed a unique voice, a unique outlook on humanity. Nguyen Trong Tao has given life tears of love, of heart and noble humanistic inspiration. " It is the tears falling on the grass like rare dew drops that finally reveal a bit of the purity of faith hidden behind the weathered face, the purity that forever belongs to the essence of the poet's race:[64]

Through the above analysis, we see that the language in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetic thinking is diverse, with many levels of color, many levels of richness, many aspects that reflect the ultimate picture of life, expressing the way of looking at the objective world, perceiving life. The language system in Trong Tao's poetry is both the result of a process of observation, experimentation, and transformation, bearing strong personality traits, revealing the poet's inner emotions, and also expressing an ego that is always passionate about life, in harmony with nature, loving nature, loving life.

Nguyen's poetic language is a mixed language, half satirical, half urban, half rural, half gangster... a language that is both worldly and

But covering the colorful array in Trong Tao's poetry is a layer of bright, vibrant language expressing a love of life and optimism in the view of humanity and the universe, thereby revealing the creative personality and linguistic style of this artist.

Reading Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry through some symbols, we not only understand the poetic thinking but also understand the author's poetic culture. Poetic culture does not aim at the macro, the noble, but towards the small, the ordinary, but it is that smallness that brings about a strange attraction, appeal and lasting vitality.

Symbols in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry are often taken from the ordinary things of nature such as grass, flowers, rain, wind, moon, and starlight. Symbols in his poetic thinking are often combined with artistic techniques such as comparison, metaphor, personification... thanks to which the symbolic world in his poetry is colorful and varied like his soul and emotions. In short, through studying language and symbols in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry, we have a more comprehensive view when approaching the research object. However, the problems solved above are not thorough, the problems only stop at analysis, but are not scientific and systematic. Therefore, the problems raised are still sketchy, requiring deeper, more comprehensive and thorough research.

On the other hand, Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry is very difficult to understand and abstract, so understanding his poetry is not easy. It requires readers to have deep thinking, understanding the field of poetry and understanding the poet's life and personality. Only then can one fully explore all the emotions in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry.

CONCLUDE

In fact, discussing Nguyen Trong Tao's poetic artistic thinking is not a simple matter. Because Nguyen Trong Tao is a phenomenon of contemporary poetry, his artistic style is in the process of exploration and formation to continue to be affirmed. Besides, researchers and readers have not had the opportunity to systematically and fully approach and study the appearance of contemporary poetry that is increasingly booming. But with all that he has shown in his poetic creative journey, readers see in him an artistic thinking with depth, height, and breadth expressed through the forms of a unique lyrical ego and methods of expression with unexpected breakthroughs.

The image of the lyrical ego in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetic artistic thinking is the image of an entity in modern life containing moods with different extremes, but in the end it is the eternal loneliness, the consciousness of a wanderer, the desire for love in life next to the mysterious, vague "unknowable" of postmodern people... And that ego is covered with all the overflowing emotions of a poet's soul born to strengthen faith, to speak words of love in life. Along with the image of the ego are many unique and novel ways of expression. Nguyen Trong Tao has created innovation for contemporary poetry with the language of music, the six-eight verse form is strange in form from the way of breaking sentences, dividing levels. The even-toned rhythm of the folk nursery rhyme for children leaves a strong mark in Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry as a return to tradition to serve as a fulcrum for innovation and creativity. Reading Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry is reading the poetry of "two people" with two halves of love, one side is the lingering nostalgia for old things, the other side is the consciousness of a person who wants to break out of what belongs to reality.

Belonging to the talented and versatile type, Nguyen Trong Tao always loves and spends a lot of time on poetry. Nguyen Trong Tao has brought to contemporary Vietnamese poetry a very new voice but still carries the lyrical flavor of Vietnamese poetry in general. He is a modern poet but knows how to use the national soul to feel life, to integrate the old and the new, to build unforgettable impressions. His poetry evokes Beauty, Goodness and Truth (words used by Hoang Cam). The thoughts, feelings, aspirations and dreams of the new man have clearly appeared through the burning verses of Nguyen Trong Tao. It seems that he always wants to go to the end of the mood and thoughts of the times. With words of the heart, life experience and faith in life, Nguyen Trong Tao has left an echo in the hearts of readers about a poetic voice, a poetic soul: drunk on life - drunk on love - drunk on dreams...

He has found a new creative direction to enrich and diversify traditional poetry. However, we can still see some limitations of Nguyen Trong Tao in some poems, some images, some experiments... that have not reached the level of artistic integrity that our thesis has not had the opportunity to analyze in depth.

I think that to thoroughly understand Nguyen Trong Tao's poetic thinking, we need to spend a long time pondering and contemplating each of his poems. Studying all of Nguyen Trong Tao's poetic works, we see that besides good poems, rich in emotions and meanings, Nguyen Trong Tao also has poems that are not good, difficult to read, difficult to understand, difficult to interpret. Moreover, Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry has not been studied much in schools, so many young poetry lovers have not had the opportunity to come into contact with and learn about his poetry. Therefore, there are not many studies on Nguyen Trong Tao's poetry, mainly small articles, brief comments and there is not really a complete research work on his poetry. For the above reasons, the author
