The poem Four Rhymes of Homesickness expresses the poet's feelings.

As a famous poet who was born in Chinese mainland and enjoys a good reputation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, affection, homesickness and patriotism have become the main directions of his poetry creation. Yan Canglang once said: "Poetry has different materials and has nothing to do with reason; Poetry has other interests, and it is not about books.

The first chapter, meaning is expressed by images, and emotion is expressed by images. The poet chose "Yangtze River Water" as his first image, which has profound meaning.

The second chapter, the communication with nature, is closely linked. What the poet asks for is a piece of "begonia red", which is the development of the image in the first chapter.

The third chapter, harmony in phonology, singing three sighs, the poet chose the image of "Snow White" with national characteristics, which is the poet's reflection and new pursuit.

The fourth chapter, unreasonable and wonderful, is full of other interests. The image chosen by the poet is "wintersweet". "When you pass my silk window, is it the first time that the plum blossom opens its cold flower? ? "Just to make bright colors.

In the whole poem, the poet's ardent homesickness and patriotism are like a red line, which organically organizes four groups of images with national characteristics: "Yangtze River Water", "Begonia Red", "Snow White" and "Chimonanthus Fragrant". The poet chose "Yangtze River Water" as the first image, symbolizing modern civilization.
