Kapok is a symbol of modern women's beauty, full of softness and rigidity of youth. It can also be understood as the uniqueness of passion, rich feelings and deep personality.
"Oak" shows a masculine temperament and is a symbol of stalwart and strong character.
Original works:
To the oak tree.
If I love you, I will never be like a climbing Campbell.
If I love you, just show off on your high branches.
Never imitate spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade.
It is not only like spring, but also brings cool comfort all year round.
It's not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height.
Set off your dignity, even sunshine, even spring rain.
No, these are not enough. I must be a kapok beside you.
As the image of a tree, I stand with you, take root and hold the ground tightly.
Leaves, touching each other in the clouds, greet each other every time a gust of wind blows.
But no one understood us. 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.
Seemingly separated forever, but dependent for life.
This is great love, and it is true.
Love, not only love your stalwart body.
I also love your stand, the land under your feet.
Extended data:
Through the artistic technique of overall symbol and the inner monologue from "kapok" to "oak tree", this poem enthusiastically and frankly sings his own personality ideal and love view, which requires standing shoulder to shoulder, independence and affection.
It can be seen that the poet has carefully designed when choosing the materials for poetry creation: oak is so suitable to represent the masculine beauty of men, while kapok is so suitable to represent women's self-reliance and equality with men.
As soon as this poem was born, oak and kapok became a new group of images in China's love poems.
The whole poem sincerely confesses the "Oak Tree" with the lyric subject "Kapok", personalizing and spiritualizing them, so that these two central images shine with ideological and aesthetic light from the outside to the inside.
