《野草》共收散文诗23篇。前18篇创作于1924年9月中旬至1925年7月中旬的10个月中，平均一个月两篇，创作时间相对集中。中断了5个月后，后5篇写于1925年12月至1926年4月，平均一个月一篇。前18篇毫无疑问是《野草》的主体，也是《野草》最难索解的；后5篇是《野草》的余波，比 “Wild Grass” received a total of 23 essay prose. The first 18 articles were written in the 10 months from mid-September 1924 to mid-July 1925 in an average of two articles a month, with a relatively concentrated time of writing. Five months after the interruption, the last five articles were written in December 1925 to April 1926, an average of one month. The first 18 papers are undoubtedly the main body of “weeds” and also the most difficult one to solve for “weeds”; the last five are the aftermaths of “weeds”
