The following is the original text: If I love you-
Unlike climbing Campbell,
Show off yourself with your tall branches;
If I love you-
Never imitate spoony birds,
Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
It is not just like a fountain,
Send cool comfort all year round;
It is not only a dangerous mountain peak,
Increase height and set off dignity.
Even during the day.
Even spring rain.
No, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok beside you,
Standing with you as the image of a tree.
Roots, close to the ground;
Leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every time a gust of wind blows,
We all greet each other,
But no one,
Understand what we said.
You have your copper branches and iron stems,
Like a knife, like a sword, like a halberd;
I have my red flowers,
Like a heavy sigh,
Like a heroic torch.
We share cold waves, storms and lightning;
We like mist, flowing mist and rainbow.
As if we were separated forever,
But they are lifelong dependent.
This is great love,
Loyalty is here:
Love, not only love your stalwart body,
I also love your stand, the land under your feet.
About the author:
Shu Ting, formerly known as Gong. Fujian Longhai is a representative of the misty poetry school. 1969 went to the countryside to jump the queue, 1972 went back to the city as a worker, 1979 began to publish poetry works, 1980 worked as a professional writer in Fujian Federation of Literary and Art Circles. His main works include poetry anthology "Double Mast Boat", "Singing Iris", "Archaeopteryx", prose anthology "Heart Smoke" and "True Water Without Fragrance". Shu Ting rose in the China poetry circle in the late 1970s. She and her contemporaries, such as Beidao, Gu Cheng and Liang, set off a wave of "misty poetry" in China's poetry circles with different poetic styles from their predecessors. His work To the Oak is one of the representative works of the misty poetry tide. Shu Ting is good at introspecting her own emotional rhythm, and she shows women's unique sensitivity in capturing complex and meticulous emotional experiences. The complexity and richness of emotions are often manifested through special sentence twists and turns such as assumptions and concessions. Shu Ting can also find sharp and profound poetic philosophy in some conventional phenomena that are often ignored by people, and write this discovery with both speculative power and touching feelings. Shu Ting's poems have bright images and meticulous and smooth thinking logic. In this respect, her poems are not "hazy". Poetry, on the other hand, mostly uses metaphors, partial or whole symbols, and rarely expresses itself, so the images expressed are vague.
Oak appreciation:
This poem, written after the Cultural Revolution, through the description of Zhi Oak, refers to the author's view of love between men and women-sharing weal and woe, caring for each other. With her sensitivity, sobriety and profundity, Shu Ting shouted out women's yearning and pursuit for independent personality, sound mind and equality between men and women. She is not fettered by the world, and expresses a mature intellectual woman's yearning for ideal love. She went on to write: "We share cold waves, storms and thunderbolts,/We * * * enjoy fog, flowing haze and rainbow." True love, of course, must share joys and sorrows. On the surface, they seem to be separated forever, but in essence, their roots and leaves are intertwined and are "lifelong dependent". It's just that this kind of love has a special meaning in Shu Ting's eyes: "This is great love,/and here lies loyalty:/Love-/Not only your great body,/but also your persistent position and the land under your feet." Shu Ting put forward her own unique views on the "loyalty" of love here: the loyalty of love is not only to be loyal to each other's "stalwart body", but also to stay in the admiration of appearance and the combination of body, but to go further and incorporate each other's career pursuit, ideals and beliefs into their love arms, and to blend and possess each other completely in spirit; Not only in form, but also in thoughts and feelings, it is considered as "great love" to achieve perfect combination, consistent position, consistent belief in life and consistent pursuit of goals.
