To the Oak Tree is a love poem written by Shu Ting in March 1977. It is one of the representative works of the misty poetry school. As the beginning work of literature in the new period, the position of To Oak in the history of literature is self-evident. 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 stands in the same boat through thick and thin, shouts out the slogan of equality between men and women in love, and issues a declaration of independence for women in the new era to express their longing and yearning for love.
To the Oak is a famous work of Shu Ting, and Shu Ting himself admits: "In the past 1 years, I have written many essays, the total amount of which has far exceeded that of poetry. But most readers only remember my poems and often equate my name with To the Oak. " In the book True Water Without Fragrance, she recalled the prototype and creative process of To the Oak.
In p>1975, Cai Qijiao, an old returned overseas Chinese poet who once helped her a lot in writing, visited Gulangyu Island. That night, when Shu Ting accompanied him for a walk, Cai Qijiao told her about the girls she met in her life. It was bold to talk openly about liking girls in the 197s. Cai Qijiao said that there are beautiful girls but no talents; Talented girls are not beautiful; Beautiful, talented and fierce, he finds it difficult to find a perfect girl. Shu Ting said that at that time, she was very angry after listening to it. She thought it was male chauvinism and men and women should be equal. So that night, she wrote a poem "Oak" and gave it to Cai Qijiao. Later, when it was published, it was changed to "To Oak".
