1. The concreteness of the image.

Homesickness is an invisible and intangible inner emotion. The poet externalizes his inner homesickness into an image through the carrier of "stamp". Because I miss my mother, I can't meet directly, so I need stamps to convey my feelings.

2. Abstraction of images.

The four visual images of homesickness-stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits-are independent, but they have profound internal relations. This is the progressiveness and abstraction of their images.

Nostalgia is one of Yu Guangzhong's poems "White Jade and Bitter Melon", and it is a classic work in which Yu Guangzhong expresses homesickness with folk songs, four rhymes of homesickness and Luo Erwazi.

Yu Guangzhong is known as a poet who "shakes hundreds of millions of China people with homesickness poems", and "homesickness" is a theme that he never forgets in many of his poems. Nostalgia gives a new explanation to an abstract theme, which is difficult to describe, but covered by a lot of descriptions. In terms of images, four common images in life, such as stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits, are selected and endowed with rich connotations.

Let the original four images, which are not related to each other, sing repeatedly under the support of the special emotion of homesickness. Yu Guangzhong himself once said that this poem is "quite realistic": when I was a child, I went to boarding school and had to correspond with my mother; Go to the United States to study after marriage and return to Taiwan Province by boat; Later, my mother died and lost her maternal love forever.

The first three sentences of the poem are all about women, and the last sentence thinks of the "big mother" like the mainland of the motherland, so the artistic conception and ideas will be suddenly enlightened, and there will be a sentence "Homesickness is a shallow strait".
