If I love you-

Unlike climbing Campbell,

Show off with your tall branches:

If I love you-

Never imitate spoony birds,

Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;

It is not just like a fountain,

Send cool comfort all year round;

It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity.

Even during the day.

Even spring rain.

No, these are not enough!

I must be a kapok beside you,

Standing with you as the image of a tree.

Roots, close to the ground,

Leaves, touching in the clouds.

Every time a gust of wind blows,

We all greet each other,

But no one

Understand what we said.

You have your copper branches and iron stems,

Like a knife, like a sword,

Like halberds,

I have my red flowers,

Like a heavy sigh,

Like a heroic torch.

We share cold waves, storms and lightning;

We enjoy the fog, the rainbow,

As if we were separated forever,

But they depend on each other all their lives,

This is great love,

Loyalty is here:

Not only love your strong body,

I also love your stand and the land under your feet.

It is an artistic declaration of love for the oak tree. This love poem contains a young woman's love ideal and her thoughts on women's position in social life. After independent and in-depth thinking, the poet made it clear at the beginning of his works that women should not be Nuo Nuo-obsessed with men, unwilling to climb like "the fragrant flowers", repeating monotonous songs for the shade like "spoony birds", and not like "fountains", "dangerous peaks" and "spring rain". These six metaphors strongly deny the traditional concept of love, and the images in them condense the poet's painful understanding of the history and present situation of women's life in China, show the poet's determination to fight for women's dignity, independent status and personality value, and are a powerful criticism of the shackles imposed on women by the old traditional concepts. From the performance of ideological content, it is what we often call "breaking".

If there is a "break", there is of course a "stand". Then, after the angry struggle, the poet entered a rational narrative, and the establishment of love concept has distinct characteristics of the times: "I must be a kapok beside you and stand with you as the image of a tree." If this poem is a declaration of love, these two sentences are the concrete embodiment of the central point of this poem, that is, the sentence called "Eye of Poetry" shows what the whole poem wants to express, that is, the word "equality". Love cannot be used as a condition of exchange, and one party cannot be an accessory of the other. Everyone should have their own independent personality: "you have your copper branches and iron stems/like swords and halberds;" I have my red flowers/like a heavy sigh and like a heroic torch. " The poet used the feminine kapok as a metaphor to pour out his inner fantasy to the masculine oak tree: "Roots cling to the ground/leaves and touch each other in the clouds. Every time a gust of wind blows/we greet each other, but no one understands our words. ""It seems that we are separated forever, but we are dependent on each other for life. " On the basis of mutual understanding, love, interdependence and independence, build a brand-new concept of love. The poet's request and yearning for love shows the poet's serious and philosophical thinking about love and marriage, and reveals the inner expectation and longing of modern women: "cold wave, storm and lightning, we are together;" We like fog, flowing mist and rainbow. "We * * * share weal and woe, we * * * enjoy happiness, we have independent personalities and are loyal to each other-this is the poet's ideal love.
