From spring and summer to autumn and winter, this long four seasons is the emotional process of "I" and "you" lovers from acquaintance to love, and they are alienated from each other. The natural process of nature from warm spring to cold winter is just a symbol of the road the couple have traveled. This is not so much an accidental coincidence as a symbol deliberately created by the poet, symbolizing a lost mood in the process of pursuing beauty including love. From spring to winter, it is a long journey, during which there are naturally rich experiences. The poet deliberately downplayed the complex connotation in the middle with clever techniques, and only used a short eight-line poem to summarize their journey, which was very subtle and tasteful.
This poem is two lines in form, and the words used in each line are completely equivalent and very rigorous, which is consistent with the melancholy expressed in the whole poem. However, this melancholy mood is not stagnant, but elegant and gradually emerges, which is reflected by the metaphor of images and the change of rhythm. The image of this poem is very distinctive. The whole poem uses the temperature difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter to describe the ups and downs of feelings between lovers. This kind of ups and downs is quite large, but the poet writes it in layers, from hazy to hot, to melancholy, and finally to disappointment, which depicts the development track of emotional fluctuations between lovers very implicitly and accurately. The rhyme arrangement of the poem is also quite clever. The rhyme of the poem is two lines changing, indicating the fluctuation of feelings; From the first glance, the third glance and the last glance in the poem, the order of advancing layer by layer is in sharp contrast with the psychological feeling of "I" changing from hot to cold, forming emotional ripples, which are full of poetry.
Shao worshipped poets such as Sappho, Swinburne and Welland in his early years, and their rich, frank and carved poetic styles had a great influence on his early creation. From about 193 1, the poet gradually gave up the pursuit of aestheticism and began to work hard on the image connotation of poetry. Poetry Season was published in April of 193 1, which was one of his first attempts after changing his poetic style. This poem is harmonious in sound and rhyme, ingenious in conception, meaningful in connotation and exquisite in writing, which shows high artistic skills.
