Ai Qing said, "At present, the mainstream of China's new poetry is free and simple language form, with obvious rhythm and similar rhyme." Ai Qing wrote his most enduring work, The North, published by Cultural Life Press 1942, when his ideal freedom and simplicity were not so out of control.

In this thin collection of poems, Ai Qing fully embodies his "close and profound observation of rich reality". Ai Qing originally studied painting, so he joked that "the hen laid duck eggs", but even in the poem "North", he can appreciate his artistic accomplishment in painting.

A few short still life sketches and figure sketches show that he is good at sketching ("beggars stare at you with stubborn eyes/watch you eat any food/and the way you pick your teeth with your nails"); In several long scrolls, he is good at rendering. The focus and rich background of the characters are even more unforgettable. Even this is not the background, it has become the theme of the poem itself.
