Su Tong brought out his Yellowbird Story in 2013 following River Bank,which helped him reward the 9th Mao Dun Literature Award in August 2015. In his age of 40s,he returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar Toon Tree Street,and further brought back the images of the street which seem to be still in front of us. There are some images emerging repeatedly in his works,and some critics call them imagination writing. This paper is to analyze the three images in Yellowbird Story,the string,the angry baby and the season reincarnation,which seem to be in-dependent but in fact all pointing to the yellowbird,and through which the novel depicts its fundamental aim as a Chinese saying goes," The Wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel.%继《河岸》之后，2013年苏童推出其长篇新作《黄雀记》，这篇小说于2015年8月获得第九届茅盾文学奖。不惑之年的他重回那个熟悉又陌生的香椿树街，不仅仅回到这条街道，还把街道上的似乎犹在眼前的意象也带了回来。苏童作品中多次出现的意象很多，也有评论者称他的写作为“意象化写作”，本文主要抓取了《黄雀记》中的三个主要意象进行分析，分别是：绳子、怒婴以及季节轮回，这三个意象看似独立，但实则都指向“黄雀”这个总的意象。小说是借助三个意象的描绘从而实现“螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后”的主题的旨归。
