What kind of love view does Shu Ting express in To the Oak Tree?

She doesn't want to climb up to the other side and show off her vanity by the splendor of the other side; I don't want to drown in each other's indifferent shadows and sing unrequited love songs alone. As a woman, she should be affectionate and considerate by default, but she thinks that she can't just stay in this state; She admits that bedding and foil can make each other's image more prominent and powerful, but she still feels that this does not represent the whole of love.

For each other, I want to dedicate the warmth like "sunshine" and pour out the affection like "spring rain". But she was not satisfied with these: "No, these are not enough! I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you in the image of a tree. " The poet made it clear that she must stand in the same position as the other party-you are a tree, I must be a tree, and it is an equally tall and straight tree; You stand, I must stand, equally between heaven and earth.

Appreciation of oak trees

The whole poem sincerely confesses the "Oak Tree" with the lyric subject "Kapok", personalizing and spiritualizing them, so that 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.
