The archetype of light and darkness, the realistic and myth in Vietnamese poetry after 1986

Abstract

Abstract: When contemplating the world, contemporary poets are influenced by the idea of the Eastern unity: In yin we have yang, in yang, we have yin, in the dark there is light and opposite. That's why the model couple: Darkness and Light always go parallel. Darkness is synonymous with destruction, dissolution, destruction, death, which can also be evil, the mysterious desire of darkness. On the contrary, light is also morning, early morning, the primal beginnings of revival, hope, of love and happiness. In contemporary poetry, poets uses this archetype as one proof, for the movement, for the harmony of the resurrection, the triumph of light and darkness, of good and evil.
