To the Appreciation of the Short Point of the Oak Tree 10, to the Appreciation of the Short Point of

This is Shu Ting's poem expressing her view of love. In the poem, Shu Ting compares her lover to an oak tree, and herself to a series of images such as kapok, springs, dangerous peaks, flowers, and birds. In the poem, he expressed the hope that he and his lover would know and cherish each other, respect each other, and two people would face the difficulties in life together and share the good wishes in life together.

To the Oak Tree is a poem by Shu Ting, one of the "Five Generals of the Hazy School", written in March 1977 and is the earliest love poem after the Cultural Revolution. The poet uniquely chose the two central images of "kapok" and "oak tree", and sang passionately and openly about the great love, which should have a common majesty and nobility, resonant thoughts and souls, rooted in the same foundation, sharing weal and woe, cold and warm.

The poet uses the oak tree as the object to express the warmth, sincerity and fidelity of love. The oak tree in the poem is not a concrete object, but a symbol of the poet's ideal lover. Therefore, to a certain extent, this poem is not simply pouring out his passionate love, but to express a kind of ideal and belief in love, which is played through a kind and specific image, which is quite like the meaning of the ancients.

First of all, the oak tree is tall and majestic, charismatic, deep, and rich in connotation – "high branches" and "green shade" are a kind of meaning, and the technique of setting off is used here. The poet does not want to be a vassal love, he does not want to be a flower that tends to be inflammatory, clinging to the high branches of the oak tree and being complacent. Nor does the poet want to be a love of charity, a bird that sings all day long in the green shade, a fountain of wishful thinking, or a tall mountain that blindly supports the oak tree.

The poet does not want to lose himself in such love. Love needs to be based on personality equality, personality independence, mutual respect and admiration, and mutual affection.

What the poet wants is the kind of love in which two people stand side by side and stand together through thick and thin. The poet compares himself to a kapok, a kapok that stands next to an oak tree. The roots and leaves of the two trees are closely connected.

The poet's dedication to love is not inferior to that of the ancients, "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch in the earth". The oak tree and the kapok stood quietly and firmly, and when the wind blew, they waved their branches and leaves, and greeted each other, and they became communicative. It was the language of the two of them, the meeting of their hearts, and the understanding of speechlessness.

The two of them guarded like this, two resolute trees, two fresh lives, and two noble hearts. Like a brave guard, every branch is ready to block attacks from outside and defend the world of two; One is a passionate life, blooming with red flowers, willing to cheer for him when he fights and illuminate the future. They share the threat of difficulties and the trials of setbacks; In the same way, they share the splendor of life and the magnificence of nature.

What the poet wants is such a great love, with a common majesty and nobility, a resonant mind and soul, rooted in the same foundation, sharing weal and woe, cold and warm.

The poem expresses the poet's ideal view of love with novel and magnificent imagery and appropriate metaphors. The metaphors and peculiar combinations of imagery in the poem both represent a new form of poetry at the time and are of seminal significance. In addition, although the poem adopts novel imagery, the language of the poem is not difficult to understand and obscure, but has the characteristics of colloquialism, and the novelty carries a fresh aura and subtle hints, giving people infinite space for reverie.
