求新求美的坚进气概——张继楼儿童诗述评

The Spirit of Searching for Beauty and Novelty——A Review of Children's Poems by Zhang Jilou

张继楼是我国一位卓有成效的儿童诗人。母亲以苏南儿歌抚慰他幼年的不幸,诗的种子从此扎根心灵并在巴蜀大地长成大树。1959年至1964年是他儿童诗创作的第一个丰收期,作品为新生中国的少儿展现了一个绚丽多彩的世界。新时期是他儿童诗创作的第二个丰收期,在固守传统的同时,他充当“爱的传播者”和“文明传承人”。90年代的创作更多了几分变化的美,体现了他求新求美的坚进气概。在朝新世纪前进的同时,他也酝酿着第三个丰收期。

Brought up in Sichuan, Zhang Jilou wrote many excellent children' poems. The period from 1959 to 1964 was his first productive period during which he displayed a colorful world to the children in the newly founded China. The New Age was his second productive period, during which he acted on the basis of tradition as a disseminator of love and the inheritor of civilization. His works composed in 1990s are characterized by more beauty, incarnating his search for beauty and novelty. Zhang Jilou has continued to be productive as he marched into the new century
