is a modern poem "To the Oak Tree" written by China poet Shu Ting in 1977.
Original text:
If I love you-
I will never be like a climbing campbell,
I will show off myself with your high branches;
If I love you-
Never learn from spoony birds,
Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
It's not just like a fountain,
It brings cool comfort all the year round;
It's not just like a dangerous peak.
Increase your height and set off your dignity.
even sunlight.
even spring rain.
no, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok near you,
standing with you as the image of a tree.
roots, clinging to the ground,
leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every time the wind blows,
we all greet each other,
but no one,
understands our words.
You have your copper branches and iron stems,
like a knife, like a sword, and
like a halberd;
I have my red flowers,
like a heavy sigh,
like a heroic torch.
We share the cold wave, wind and thunder,
thunderbolt;
We * * * enjoy mist, flowing haze and
rainbow.
it seems that we are separated forever, but
we are dependent on each other for life.
This is the great love.
Here is the loyalty:
Love-
Not only love your stalwart body,
but also love your position and the land under your feet.
Extended information:
To the Oak Tree is a modern poem written by China poet Shu Ting in 1977. In the first 13 lines of this poem, the poet negates the traditional view of love with six images: climbing campbell flower, spoony bird, spring, dangerous peak, sunlight and spring rain. Lines 14 ~ 36 express their ideal love view positively.
Through the artistic technique of overall symbol, the whole poem uses the inner monologue of "Kapok" to "Oak" to enthusiastically and frankly sing its own personality ideal and love view that requires standing shoulder to shoulder, being independent and affectionate. The composition and syntax of poetry are carefully arranged, which makes lyric and discussion naturally merge and makes rich and delicate feelings with rational luster.
To the Oak Tree was selected as a senior high school Chinese textbook by People's Education Press. [1]? College Chinese textbooks of Zhengzhou University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
