Homeland is a profound romantic symbol, the artistic sentiment of many generations of Vietnamese poets. There's a fact: every time the nation faces challenges, the image of the homeland shines brightly in literature with unique and fresh discoveries. The epic poem 'Roadside Shrine' with an excerpt from 'Homeland' is a beautiful testament to this rule. In the above excerpt, the perceptions of the homeland by Nguyen Khoa Diem reach a profound philosophical stature.
Firstly, the homeland appears in the length of time. Time in the excerpt 'Homeland' is rich with legendary images drawn from mythology and folk customs. Thanks to the appearance of these time images, the homeland appears in the profound depths of time, full of sanctity and reverence.
Alongside the 'steadfast time' is the 'vast space.' Space is linked to the survival of the community: 'The nation is where our people reunite.' Space is also tied to the private lives of individuals; 'The land is where one goes to school - The water is where one bathes'... The coexistence of these spaces evokes the image of the nation as a unity between the collective and the individual, the community and the individual. The sacred yet intimately familiar Homeland is portrayed.
The nation also emerges in the depth of culture - customs, ways of life, imbued with the essence of Vietnam. The depth of culture is always present throughout the excerpt. From a custom: 'Mother's hair is tied up behind' to the solemn ritual of Ancestor's Day. However, the depth of culture is most deeply and beautifully expressed in the discoveries and praises of the beauty of Vietnamese souls and characters: deeply in love yet faithful; valuing relationships but fiercely resolute against enemies.
Philosophical thinking aims to explore and understand unity. The philosophical depth in Nguyen Khoa Diem's perception of the nation lies in this: from three dimensions of space - time - culture, the poet found the core that constitutes the essence of the nation's image. This core, nothing else, is the belief: the nation of the people.
The people's conception of the nation is the foundation for Nguyen Khoa Diem's unique and extraordinary discoveries about the nation's image. From the belief in the nation of the people. The history of the nation is no longer the history of dynasties, of heroes, but the history of thousands of layers of people 'whose names are forgotten - Yet they have built the nation'. The nation's space is also shaped by the 'aspirations,' 'ways of life' of ancestors for generations. It is also the people who have lived independently, preserved the cultural flow of the nation: 'They preserve and pass on the seeds of the rice we plant - They pass on the fire.. - They pass on the tone... - They carry the names of the commune, the village...'. A large density of verbs juxtaposed creates the image of the true stature and magnificence of the people - those who 'make the Homeland.'
The people's conception of the nation has undergone a long-term development in the history of national literature (Nguyen Trai, Nguyen Dinh Chieu...). In revolutionary literature, the people's conception of the nation has also been addressed by many poets (Poem Hac Hai, The Nation by Nguyen Dinh Thị, Vietnamese Bamboo by Nguyen Duy). However, for this ideology to become the dominant inspiration, permeating into every subtle expression of the national image, that is a remarkable contribution of Nguyen Khoa Diem. It demonstrates the inheritance and crystallization at a new level of the people's conception of the nation in literature.
The opening stanza of the excerpt is a vivid testimony to the uniqueness in Nguyen Khoa Diem's perception of the nation.
Manifested through the stanza is the vast image of the nation within time. The distinctive feature lies in the depth of that time, first evoked from the 'days of yore' in the mother's tales. This is not the exact historical time with specific eras. It is a vague, fantastical time in the imaginative minds of children. It is not precisely located but helps us deeply perceive the existence of the nation.
The face of the nation is depicted from the mundane, familiar aspects of everyday life. There is something truly meticulous, vivid in Nguyen Khoa Diem's perception of the nation. From a way of tying hair, a folk saying to simple objects: a pier, a pillar. Even with things seemingly insignificant like 'grains of rice,' the author still deeply feels from specific moments: 'one sun two dews' - 'grinding' - 'pounding' - 'winnowing' - 'sifting'. With this perception, the nation becomes the atmospheric backdrop enveloping the life of every individual. Wherever, in any tiny expression, carries the essence of the nation. The nation is drawn closer, familiar, blood-bound with people.
