The artistic conception of the sun in Ai Qing's poems

In Ai Qing's poems, the sun symbolizes light. It expresses the author's firm belief that history is unstoppable and the arrival of light is an inevitable warm emotion. When the national liberation of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression turned from national peril to new life, the poet watched the changes of the times with keen eyes and found that "the hidden vitality of the nation is also the deepest force of national liberation".

In the Sun Poetry Group, a bright image group, which is opposite to many suffering images, began to appear. Such as torch, flame, horn, spring, dawn, dawn, sun, etc. Ai Qing's poetic style began to praise bright things, and the poet's pursuit of national liberation, democracy and freedom became the theme of poetry creation. This poem typically reflects the ideological trend of the times of enthusiastic young people who love the motherland, join in the war and seek liberation.
