Abstract: Luo Fu’s long poem Death of a Stone Cell has a unified form in general；it is composed of 64 verses which are made up of two 5-line stanzas each，640 lines in total. Rather than giving each verse a title，the poet numbers them from 1 to 64. The ending sentences are forceful，whilst the parallelism creates a sense of waiting or perching；commas are used to give emphasis or to combine two sentences to avoid an extra line；the stanzas are filled with epigrams；the form and content are mysteriously intermingled. The set form provides a home to the running and radiating thoughts and the changeable life experiences makes the fixed form less stiff. It is a poem that releases tension amidst intensive subjectivity and extensive sub-consciousness through a traditional form. The 10-line form of verses are not predefined to fit the content nor the vice versa；the entire poem is rather a crystallized product of ideas and images.
