This paper analyzes the artistic expression of the poem "Picking Wei" in The Book of Songs.

The whole poem consists of six sections (one section for every eight sentences), imitating the tone of a garrison soldier receiving the EU. The first five sections focus on the hardships of life, strong homesickness and the reasons why they can't go home for a long time, revealing that soldiers are willing to defend against the enemy and suffer from expeditions, showing their desire for peace. The sixth section ends the poem with a painful lyric, which is touching.

This poem uses overlapping sentence patterns and figurative techniques, which embodies the artistic characteristics of The Book of Songs. The first four sentences of the last chapter describe the scenery and feelings at two specific moments, namely, going out that year and surviving this day. The text is simple and profound, and the scene blends, which has always been considered as one of the famous articles in the Book of Songs.

Specifically, the method of prosperity is from "micro-stop" to "micro-soft-stop" until "micro-stop", which symbolizes the passage of time by borrowing the process from the germination and growth of pea leaves to maturity. The feeling of the passage of time touched the recruiter's homesickness and contributed to these poems.

The first four sentences of the last chapter, "I left in the evening", reflect the homesickness of the recruiter with the strong contrast of the scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
