Ai Qing is a singer of the land, and "land" is one of the two most common images in his poems (the other is "the sun"). "Land" symbolizes the troubled motherland that gave birth to him and raised him, and his love for "land" is an inexhaustible melody in Ai Qing's works.
This feeling is fully reflected in this poem: the poet said to sing the motherland like a bird; Even if you die, you should be integrated into the motherland. The image of "land" also reflects the author's deepest love for the workers who were born, cultivated and died in Sri Lanka, as well as his concern and exploration of their fate.
This poem begins with "if" and uses "hoarseness" to describe the singing voice of birds, and then continues to write the singing content, from singing before death to writing that birds return to the world after death, and finally replaces the image of birds with the poet's own image, which directly expresses the poet's sincere and ardent patriotism.

The writing background of "I love this land"
I love this land, which was written in 1938, 165438+ 10/7 and published in "Ten Days of Literature" published in Guilin in the same year. 1938 10, Wuhan fell, and the Japanese invaders trampled on China. The author and many literary and art figures at that time withdrew from Wuhan and gathered in Guilin. The author wrote this poem with love for the motherland and hatred for the invaders.
This poem constantly strengthens its feelings in a lyrical way, so as to strike a chord for a long time. This poem begins with "if", which is the first layer of reinforcement. Who doesn't know that the birds are clear and crisp? This poem is described as "hoarse", which is the second layer of reinforcement.
It is not enough to have these two layers of reinforcement, so the objects of singing have appeared in the poem one after another: land, river, wind and dawn. It is particularly noteworthy that when describing these images, the author has reached the point where he is poor and full of enthusiasm, which fully embodies the artistic characteristics of this liberal poet.
