I. Introduction
To the Oak is a modern poem written by Shu Ting in March 1977, and it is one of the representative works of the misty poetry school. In the first 13 line of the poem, the poet denies the traditional view of love with six images: climbing Campbell flowers, spoony birds, fountains, dangerous peaks, sunshine and spring rain. Line 14-36 positively expresses his ideal view of love. "To Oak" was selected as a high school Chinese textbook by People's Education Publishing House.
Second, the creative background
"To Oak" is Shu Ting's famous work, and Shu Ting himself admits: "10 years, I have written a lot of essays, and the total amount has far exceeded poetry. But most readers only remember my poems and often equate my name with an oak tree. " In the book True Water Without Fragrance, she recalled the prototype and creative process of To the Oak.
Third, the evaluation of the work.
1, Mr. Lin Zhiting praised: "To the Oak Tree is novel in concept and vivid in image. It is widely read and known among young people. Obviously, it has strong vitality. "
2. Wen Suolin: "Separation" is external and superficial; "Dependence" is internal and essential. Life is an art, and love is more like the most wonderful chapter in this art; Love is a philosophy, and only a woman who understands this philosophy with her life can understand all its mysteries. This is the sharp and profound poetic philosophy expounded by Shu Ting's To the Oak, and it is also the precious ideological and artistic value of this poem.
