Land: "Land" is a common image of Ai Qing, which can be said to be his other life. He mourned for the poor land: "Snow fell on the land of China./Did the cold stop China?" The "land" here is no longer a simple objective scenery, but an "image" that focuses on the author's subjective feelings.
The author feels extremely sad for the old, weak and sick motherland. When the poet looked around with melancholy eyes, the carrier of lonely and barren wasteland-land entered the poet's mind. By praising the "image" of the land, the author curses those who destroy it and fantasizes that the land can be full of vitality.
In the poem, the author's voice is hoarse but generous, sad but broad, showing a strong sense of life; Although simple, it is vigorous, because land is the foundation of all things. It is precisely because of this love and attachment to the land that the other two images in the poet's works flow downstream.
Wind: "Wind" is followed by the modifier "Like a sad old woman".
River: Adjectives "Time" and "Snowy Night" are added in front of "River", so that the two external pure scenery of "Wind" and "River" are turned into "images" containing the author's subjective feelings, and these Nightcrawler who appear in the Woods, rivers and wilderness on a cold night are not only laborers who struggle for their own lives and are driven by fate, but also laborers who struggle for survival.
It can be seen that the use of images in poetry can make abstract emotions tangible, arouse our rich association and imagination, and thus observe the author's feelings in poetry.
