| Abstract |
There are four odes in the category of Natural Phenomena, Volume 13, Zhao-Ming Anthology, namely, An Ode to the Wind, An Ode to the Snow, An Ode to the Moon, and An Ode to the Autumn Sentiment. These are the poet’s observation on the appearance of all things. The natural phenomena refer to the sight of the wind, the flowers, the snow, and the moon. Human beings possess spirituality and intelligence to process their sensational experiences and internalize them into the source of feelings. The natural phenomena touch people and inspire poets to express their sentiments. The transition of the four seasons reflects the poet’s solicitudes with the ever-changing world. Therefore, the poets would express their perception of the nature with an impulsive inspiration by means of creative works. This article intends to analyze relation between the description of natural phenomena and the literary creation. This article also explores the various presentations of the natural phenomena in poetic form by interpreting the three odes in Zhao-Ming Anthology.
