Abstract Pearl S. Bucks The Good Earth teems with the earth imagery. The earth imagery in other works of similar theme is but used in the depiction of visual objects, dotting the plots, but such imagery has extended to be visual, tactual, olfactory, and even to be thermal and illusionary in The Good Earth. The earth is reproduced and represented in various ways by the character, value and meaning possessed by multiple senses. The imagery of earth forges the connections between the protagonist and the nature and the other characters that the two layers mentioned above are endowed the profound cultural artistic conceptions and implications. Thus, the earth and the earth imagery are brought to be related with the immense nature and society, and the intentions at various levels that the layers of meaning become an indivisible integrity.
