I/if/love you-don't like/climb/like trees and flowers,
Borrow your high branches/show off yourself; I/if/love you-
Never learn/spoony birds, for the sake of shade/repeating monotonous/songs;
Not only/like a fountain, it brings coolness/comfort all year round;
It's not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity.
Uniform/sunny. Even number/spring rain.
No, these are not enough! I/must be you/nearby/a plant/kapok,
As the image of the tree/standing with you/. Root, attachment/underground;
Leaves, touching in the clouds. Every time a gust of wind blows,
We/all exchanged greetings, but/no one,
Understand/our/words. You/have your copper branches/iron stems,
Like a knife, like a sword, like a halberd; I/have my red flowers,
Like/heavy/sigh, like/hero/torch.
We/share cold waves, storms and lightning; We/* * * enjoy the mist, flowing haze and rainbow.
As if/forever separated, but/lifelong dependent.
This/greatness/love, constancy/right here:
Love-not only your majestic body, but also your persistent position and the land under your feet.
In the whole poem, the lyric subject "kapok" is used to express "oak tree" sincerely, and both of them are personified and spiritualized, which makes these two central images shine with ideological and aesthetic light from the outside to the inside. Kapok can be understood as a symbol of the beauty of modern women full of youth, softness and rigidity, and also as an impassioned, rich emotion and unique deep personality.
Oak shows a masculine temperament, which is a symbol of stalwart and strong character. With this unique and exquisite image as the symbolic core, this poem naturally breaks away from the concrete and limited form and has rich connotations. It can be regarded as equal and sincere love between men and women, and it can also be understood as intimate, equal and harmonious interpersonal relationship.
The poet skillfully used the confession of "kapok" to derive and combine a series of concrete images with rich contents. These images may imply Kapok's view on the disharmonious and unbalanced interpersonal relationship in the traditional outlook on life, or boldly affirm the interdependence on the basis of personality independence, and show the yearning and pursuit for harmonious interpersonal relationship, new love view and life value. The composition and syntax of the whole poem are carefully arranged, which makes lyric and discussion naturally merge and makes rich and delicate feelings bring rational luster.
This poem adopts the personification of lyric subject. The object of description is oak, but kapok. It is unique in writing. It does not directly depict the beautiful and straight appearance of kapok, but uses a series of subtle metaphors to compare various personalities, beliefs and ambitions of kapok from various angles, and then describes it psychologically and personally, thus fully expressing kapok's love for oak trees from the inside out.
In terms of artistic expression, this is a way of writing that transforms reflection into expression, which is more concentrated, concise, generalized and condensed. In addition, the poet changed the traditional methods of fu, bi and xing, avoided narration, and added the inner monologue commonly used in modern poetry, which made it easier to express the subjective feelings of the lyric subject.
