What are Ai Qing's poems about plants?

Ai Qing wrote only one poem about plants: trees.

A tree, a tree

Stand apart from each other

Wind and air

Tell them the distance

But under the cover of soil,

Their roots are growing.

In the unseen depths

They are wrapped around the roots.

Famous comments

Contemporary literary critics and literary theorists can guide the style of twenty-two new poems: for example, the poem "Tree", the distinctive and prominent image of "Tree", is completely presented in simple and bright language, but it is implicit and has profound symbolic significance. This simple and lively language style, on the one hand, is the nourishment of modern spoken language, on the other hand, it seems to be related to the influence of symbolism and even imagism.

Contemporary writer Zhou Liangpei's "China New Poetry Library" six episodes: the poet is not abstract in abstract art, but realistic, with a very vivid concrete image, a general understanding, and tends to abstract in philosophy. The meaning of this poem is uncertain, but it clearly explains the natural phenomenon of plants "under the cover of soil" in words. From this, we can feel that the problems should be interrelated and inspired by a methodology.

While War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is in progress, some people say that we are "fragmented", from which we can also think that people linked by fate are always connected with roots that are constantly being cut off. All of these, it still leaves a lot of room for contact and association according to the life experience of each reader. Therefore, it is possible to reach this state, that is, the poet does not write things, but abstracts them from philosophy through things and restores them to concrete.
