The rhyme of Biekangqiao is very beautiful, which is also the outstanding feature of Xu Zhimo's poetry. It is the key to feel the poem Farewell to Cambridge carefully. The tender feelings of parting are combined with the rhythm of poetry, and the "musical beauty" is fully reflected in Farewell to Cambridge. This poem has two rhymes in each stanza, and one rhyme after another. The use of reduplicative words such as "gentle" and "quiet" laid the soothing and gentle tone of this poem, revealing melancholy and sadness in attachment. In addition, the poet also carefully constructed the "architectural beauty" of the external form of poetry. This poem has seven sections, each with four sentences, and the sentence patterns in each section are neat and similar, which constitutes a repeated singing effect. First, make poetry structurally complete and formally integrated. A series of images in Farewell to Cambridge are also worthy of attention, because the poet implements the poetic principle of "rational restraint of emotion" through indirect description of objective scenery. Some characters in this poem are described in kind. Some are outlined by the combination of scenery and emotion. "Biekangqiao" highlights the picture sense of poetry through the images of scenery, carefully arranges the sentences and sections of poetry, and attaches importance to the tone and rhythm of poetry. It is a successful practice of the theory of "three beauties"-"painting beauty", "architecture beauty" and "music beauty", which fully embodies the artistic proposition and style of the metrical poetry school.
