Writing the song of spring birds woke me up from my nightmare, but when I opened my eyes, Zhou Quan's real life was like a nightmare, showing my complicated feelings. So I "changed from a nightmare in bed to a nightmare on the ground."
The author then wrote the free singing of spring birds: Spring birds use the same songs as truth to call for dawn, awaken the earth, make mountains and rivers lush, thaw rivers, let a hundred flowers blossom, awaken stinging insects, and bring people vigorous vitality.
The author praised the singing of the spring birds from different angles, created a fresh and beautiful world, and constituted a gorgeous movement full of youth and dreamy colors. In the poet's works, the spring bird has become a symbol of good things and a poet who sings truth and freedom.
In reality, the author has no such freedom to sing. Poetic mood returns to reality from dream, corresponding to the "nightmare" at the beginning, and draws a full stop in the emotional bowl full of anger and depression. Contrary to the Spring Bird, the poet angrily protested against the dark rule of the Kuomintang, exposed the crimes of the reactionaries in undermining democracy and suppressing speech, and expressed his yearning for freedom and truth.
The whole poem uses metaphor, imagination and personification to infect readers through vivid and concrete images. For example, describe the beauty of singing as "like the hands of several goddesses, pressing the key of life together"; Describe the scene of thousands of birds singing together. "This river has become a pool of freedom."
Using anthropomorphic techniques, it is said that spring birds "wake up the universe from the hibernating bed" and "green hills add eyes", which vividly depicts the scene that spring birds' songs revive everything in the spring and nature, and has strong artistic appeal.
The author regards "the song of spring" as the symbol of the voice of freedom, and uses the metaphor of Shakespeare's style to connect the images of "stars, running water, goddess and insects" in series, thus constructing a fresh and open aesthetic poetic realm, which perfectly integrates the artistic conception of China's traditional poetry with the modern western poetic techniques.

The Creative Background of Spring Birds
During the period of 1939, with the intensification of passive anti-Japanese war and active anti-* * activities of the Kuomintang, the Cultural Work Committee led by Cang Kejia was forced to dissolve.
194 1 In the early summer, his plan to carry out anti-enemy literature and art propaganda work in the 30 th Army was also aborted. Soon, he presided over the writing of Sany Publishing House in Yexian County, Henan Province. Unexpectedly, the first issue of "The Works of Earth Literature" was sealed up by the Tang Dynasty by express telegram because it translated the "Marxist-Leninist view of literature and art", and the publishing house and publication were declared dead, and the poet was in danger.
According to the poet's later recollection, "My poem entitled" Spring Birds "was written in Miao Village, Yexian County, Henan Province on the morning of May 22nd, 1942.
