Ă propos de ce livre
A Maze of Stars & Spring Water is a collection of poems directly inspired by the poetic forms that emerged after the May Fourth Movement. Specifically, the "mini poem, " which by Bing Xin's own admission, hadn't quite existed before she started experimenting with its form. Inspired by Tagore's Stray Birds, she started gathering her "scattered and fragmentary thoughts, " not originally intended as poetry, but which would eventually become the present collection. The popularity of the poems and the distinction of the form led the genre to become known as the "Bingxin style."

â Dedication
Ah Mother.
These little odds and ends of thoughtâ
Can you look at them?
These words
At a time before ever I was,
Were hidden in your bosom.
1
âIt is a year since I first saw you, and still you are rippling.
Can you yet reflect a shadow?â
The water gently thanked him and said,
âMy friendâ
I have never yet reflected any imageâ
Not yours, nor any other.â
2
The four seasons passed slowly byâ
A hundred flowers murmured to each other,
âWe are only weak
Sweet-smelling dreams.
In succession we are made, one after the other.â
And the cups of bitter experience
Must be tasted one after the otherâ
God has thus ordained it.
3
Young man:if you cannot fly like the wind,
You should be quiet like the hills.
But I see you are transient like the clouds.
Your life has no particular importance,
Except to give material to a maker of rhymes.
4
Do rushes then, count the yellow waves as comrades?
Ah let me drift on the wind that blows toward the great river!
5
A small river flows fully and quietly,
And crosses level sands for a thousand liâ
Freelyâpensivelyâ
It has no happy chatter.
A small river crookedly flows forward,
And crosses lofty hills and deep valleys,
Dangerouslyâ
Sinuouslyâ
Neither is there joy in the sound of its waters.
My friend,
Thank you for your answer to my question which has long puzzled me.
In the crooked and silent course of the water,
I found the symbol of youth's happiness.
6
O Poetâ
Do not work so hard at changing Nature.
The most beautiful pictures
Are touched in delicate colours.
7
A step at a time with helpâ
The half hidden purple peakâ
Why is it so highâso far?
8
O Moonâ
Why do people worship you?
Because in the depths of the far heavens,
There is only you to come and go.
9
If I should askâ
O God,
In what place is Thy Dwelling?
Should I be allowed to know?
Afar!
Afar!
I am too slight and little to know.
10
I suddenly knew it was midnight,
O fair, white, daylight thoughts,
Do not emerge within the boundaries of night!
11
The south wind blows.
It brings the laughter of Spring
From the world of waters.
12
The sound of a flute draws near,
A blind man comes;
The sound of the flute dies away; The destiny of ignorant man,
Will you also follow?
13
White Lotusâ
You are too self-conscious in your purity;
Can there be any objection if a pink lotus blossom
In the same pool
Encounters you?
14
Nature called aloud and saidâ
âTake your pen,
Dip it in my ocean;
Humanity's heart is too dry and parched.â
15
Silence
Is filled with the triumphal song of the victor.
16
O my heart,
What is worth troubling about?
Is it the Universe?
Or is it the living beings which come into the world?
17
The setting sun shines on the withered grass of the red wall.
Go down quickly, O sun!
You cause many young people to age early.
18
O flower in the midst of ice and snow,
You bloom before the spring...
