Abstract：The literary study of Mothers Imagery has always been indispensable to any research concerning the land theme of Pearl S. Bucks works. As a matter of fact, the Mothers Imagery, like the land imagery, is both the prototype and the product of her novels. With the two imageries connecting and blending with each other, it is hard to tell which is the vehicle and which is the tenor of a metaphor. In the writing of The Mother, Pearl S. Buck illustrates a unique textual representation by blending the maternity property with the soil property and enhancing humanity, which successfully establishes a distinctive poetic space.
