Zhixiangshu 1 Shuting
If I love you-
Unlike climbing Campbell,
Show off with your tall branches:
If I love you-
Never imitate spoony birds,
Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
It is not just like a fountain,
Send cool comfort all year round;
It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity.
Even during the day.
Even spring rain.
No, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok beside you,
Standing with you as the image of a tree.
Roots, close to the ground,
Leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every time a gust of wind blows,
We all greet each other,
But no one
Understand what we said.
You have your copper branches and iron stems,
Like a knife, like a sword,
Like halberds,
I have my red flowers,
Like a heavy sigh,
Like a heroic torch,
We share cold waves, storms and lightning;
We enjoy the fog, the rainbow,
As if we were separated forever,
But they depend on each other all their lives,
This is great love,
Loyalty is here:
Not only love your strong body,
I also love your stand and the land under your feet.
Creation background 2 "To the Oak" is a famous work of Shu Ting, and Shu Ting himself admits: "10 has 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.
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 girl she met in her life. It was bold to talk openly about liking girls in the 1970s. Cai Qijiao said that there are beautiful girls, but no talent; Talented girls are not beautiful; Beautiful, talented and fierce, he found it difficult to find a perfect girl. Shu Ting said that she was very angry after listening to it. She thinks this is male chauvinism and men and women should be equal. So that night, she wrote a poem "Oak Tree" and gave it to Cai Qijiao. Later, when it was published, it was changed to To Oak.
Literary appreciation
The poet takes the oak tree as the object, expressing the passion, sincerity and firmness of love. Through the artistic technique of quasi-materialization, with the inner monologue of kapok tree, I sang my own personality ideal and love view that I want to stand shoulder to shoulder, independent and affectionate.
The first section "If I love you, I won't show off on your high branches like climbing Campbell flowers;" If I love you, I will never learn from spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade; It is not only like spring, but also brings cool comfort all year round; It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity. Even sunshine, even spring rain. "To express kapok, she doesn't want to climb to the other side and show off her vanity with the wealth on the other side; She doesn't want to drown in the cold shade of the other party, singing the crazy song of unrequited love alone.
Section 2 "No, these are not enough! I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you in the image of a tree. " It shows that kapok is determined to break the barriers that only advocate sacrifice for each other in love, and clearly shows that it is not an accessory, but a foil and ornament for each other, and must stand on the same footing with each other. "Root, close to the ground; Leaves, touching in the clouds. Every time a gust of wind passes, we greet each other, but no one understands us. " Explain that there are lovers shoulder to shoulder and soul mates. ? You have copper branches and iron stems, like knives, swords and halberds, symbols of men-stalwart, unyielding, sharp-edged and masculine; "I have my red flowers, like a heavy sigh, and like a heroic torch." The symbol of women-healthy and lively, beautiful and moving, deep and broad, tenacious and unyielding, with flexible temperament. Put forward the love concept that modern women should have. That is the real equality between men and women, which appears as a "tree". Heart to heart, mutual respect and love, like-minded. The independent personality of men and women not only has not lost its due glory, but also shines more brightly in the shadow of each other.
Section 3: "We share the cold wave, storm and thunderbolt; We like mist, flowing mist and rainbow. It seems to be separated forever, but in fact it is lifelong. " Explain that lovers should "share joys and sorrows, * * * adversity." In the same realistic environment, both parties share the hardships of life and the happy situation, which is love. "This is great love, and this is where loyalty lies: love-not only your majestic body, but also your persistent position and the land under your feet." The author wants to express the firmness of love, not only to be faithful to each other's "stalwart body", to realize the combination of appearance admiration and form, but also to go further and incorporate each other's work, beliefs and ideals into his love arms. Standing in the same position, we have the same belief in life.
In artistic expression, poetry adopts the lyrical way of inner monologue, which is convenient for expressing the poet's inner world frankly and happily. At the same time, the image is constructed as a whole symbol (the whole poem symbolizes the independent personality and sincere love of both lovers with the whole image of oak and kapok), which makes philosophical thoughts and ideas germinate in the intimate and sensible image and poetic, so this richest man is rational.
