"Rain Alley" is a modern poem written by Chinese poet Dai Wangshu in 1927. The poem describes the lyrical protagonist "holding an oil-paper umbrella" and wandering alone in a long and lonely rain alley. He cherishes a vague hope, hoping to meet "a girl who is as sad as a lilac". This girl has the same color and fragrance as a lilac, but her heart is full of sadness and sadness.

He met such a girl, but it was fleeting, "like floating in a dream", her color, fragrance, "eyes like breath" and "melancholy like lilac" all disappeared in " "In the Lament of Rain". He still "holds an oil-paper umbrella" and wanders alone in the long and lonely rainy alley, still holding on to hope, and hope floats past "a girl who is as sad as a lilac".

Appreciation of "Rain Lane":

"Rain Lane" was initially praised. An important aspect is the beauty of its syllables. Ye Shengtao praised this poem for "opening a new era for the syllables of new poetry."

The whole poem "Rain Alley" has seven stanzas. The first and last stanzas are exactly the same except that "meeting" is changed to "floating over". This kind of knotting and reappearance, echoing from beginning to end, the same main theme reappears in the poem, strengthens the musical feeling of the whole poem, and also increases the expressiveness of the poet's hesitation and disillusionment.

The entire poem has six lines in each stanza. The number of words in each line varies, and the rhymes are generally repeated in lines not far apart. Each stanza rhymes two to three times, and there is no rhyme change from beginning to end. The sentences in the whole poem are very short, and some short sentences even cut off the connection between words and sentences.

And some of the same words appear multiple times in the rhyme, such as "rain lane", "girl", "fragrance", "melancholy", and "eyesight", intentionally making a sound repeat in the hearing. This creates a reverberating melody and smooth rhythm, like a soft and pensive serenade, a lonely and painful melody that echoes repeatedly throughout the song, lingering in the heart.

In order to strengthen the whole poem. To improve the musicality, the poet also absorbed some techniques from foreign poetry, allowing the same words to meet each other in the same verse. This repetition of language is like the repetition of intertwined lyric phrases, which sounds pleasant to the ear. , harmony, and aggravated the lyrical color of the poem.

When romantic free verse and the "Crescent School" tofu dry poetry style were popular, Dai Wangshu sent the beautiful "Rain Alley". It opens up a new world of music expression in new poetry
