To Oak is a love poem written by Shu Ting in March 1977. It is one of the representative works of the misty poetry school. As a pioneering work of literature in the new period, To the Oak is self-evident in the history of literature. Through the "confession" of the kapok tree to the oak tree, the author denies the secular and unequal view of love, calls for freedom, equality and independence, and shouts out the slogan of equality between men and women in love, and sends out the declaration of independence of women's yearning for love in the new era.
