Simple appreciation of Thick Plum Tree, about 30 words.

Reading the poem Thick Plum Tree is like watching a colorful landscape movie. Poems, such as close-ups, are "edited" and "combined" by the poet into a lyric short film interwoven with light, shadow and melody.

Here, we can not only see "golden" and "curly" branches and leaves, shining dewdrops, silvery green traces on bark, "satin-like flower spikes", the grassland where the residual snow melts, and the stream where the waves splash; I can still smell the thick smell of plum trees and the pungent smell of green marks; Hear the stream singing briskly; I even seem to have tasted the sweetness of dew as honey.

Extended data

Here, the poet uses one of the unique artistic techniques of poetry creation-synaesthesia, that is, vision, hearing, taste and touch communicate and transform with each other, so that readers can feel the artistic beauty in all senses. In all kinds of feelings of mutual induction, vision is dominant.

For example, "nectar adds sweetness" (appealing to the sense of taste), "green scars add spicy fragrance" (appealing to the sense of smell), "satin-like flowers" (communicating vision and touch) and "the waves of broken jade in the stream" (integrating vision and hearing). This technology is an important part of Ye Saining image system.

Ye Saining studied under the famous poet Brock, and was influenced by his symbolism, and joined the imagist literary group, which was badly influenced. However, he absorbed the advantages of Imagism in strengthening visual images and enriching metaphorical hints, and created a colorful image system, thus greatly enhancing the expressive function of poetic language.
