-Shu Ting
If I love you-
Unlike climbing Campbell,
Show off yourself 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 like fog and rainbows,
As if we were separated forever,
But they are lifelong dependent.
This is great love,
Loyalty is here:
Not only love your strong body,
I also love your stand and the land under your feet.

To the Oak Tree is a beautiful and profound lyric poem. The lyrical hero in the poem turns into a kapok tree, takes the oak tree as the object, adopts the lyrical way of inner monologue, frankly and cheerfully pours out his passion, sincerity and firmness for love, and expresses his ideals and beliefs for love. The whole poem has a strong emotional color, calm and rational thinking, rich social connotation, enduring and memorable.
The whole poem is divided into two parts. The first part denies the traditional view of love. Poetry makes symbolic analogy with a series of natural objects, which profoundly denies the two views of love: persistence ("Lingxiao Flower") and unilateral dedication ("Dangerous Peak"), both of which are based on the depression, atrophy and sacrifice of one party. Starting from the awakening consciousness of modern women, the poet uses the images in his poems to make his determination to strive for women's dignity, independent status and personality value jump from the page. The second part actively expresses the ideal view of love. Emphasize that this kind of love must be independent and have the same status and personality as the other party; This kind of love has a solid foundation and emotional communication; This kind of love keeps you independent; This kind of love can share joys and sorrows and spend a lifetime together. This humanistic view of modern love shows the poet's yearning and pursuit for a new view of love and the value of life.
Poetry constructs images as a whole symbol, and the whole images of oak and kapok correspond to each other to symbolize the independent personality and sincere love of both lovers. On the one hand, it makes philosophical thoughts and ideas germinate and poetic with a kind and sensible image; On the other hand, the theme of the work is not limited to the vision of love. The moral ideals of mutual sympathy, mutual understanding and mutual trust between people can also be reasonably extended from the image composition of oak and kapok, and at the same time they are equal and independent.
Poetry uses a large number of neat and symmetrical language forms, which correspond strictly in words, sounds and meanings and broadly in lines. Both the uniformity of classical poetry and the freedom of new poetry show that the poet inherits the tradition and does not stick to the traditional poetic style.
