"To the Oak Tree" is a contemporary poem written by Chinese poet Shu Ting in 1977. This poem has 36 lines. In the first 13 lines, the poet uses six images: climbing flowers, infatuated birds, springs, dangerous peaks, sunlight, and spring rain to deny the traditional view of love; lines 14 to 36 express himself positively. The ideal view of love. Through the artistic technique of overall symbolism, the whole poem uses the inner monologue of "Kapok" to "Oak" to sing passionately and frankly about his personality ideals and his view of love that requires standing side by side, being independent and affectionately opposite each other. The poem's composition and syntax are carefully arranged, so that lyricism and discussion can be naturally integrated, giving the rich and delicate emotions a rational brilliance.
