Chengda Fan
During the day, weeding in the fields and rubbing hemp thread at home at night, the men and women in the village took on all the housework.
Although the children don't plow and weave, they also learn a kind of melon in the shade of mulberry trees.
Fan Chengda (1 126- 1933), a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, is famous for his poem "Four Seasons Pastoral Music" which describes rural scenery. The four seasons in a year are spring, summer, autumn and winter. With a fresh style, the poet described the natural scenery of rural areas in various periods and the working life of farmers in a more delicate way.
Reading is interesting. At the same time, because of his sympathy for farmers, his poems also reflect the exploitation of farmers by the government and rural landlords and the hardships of their lives. This is one of the poems, describing a small scene of rural life. It writes from the side,
Reflect the tense working atmosphere and interesting life in rural areas.
The scene is like this, early summer, the busy season for small farmers. In rice fields, green seedlings have grown up and barnyard grass has been born. It's time to plow, that is, weed. Out in the field during the day,
Weeding in the fields during the day was the work of men at that time.
The feudal society of small-scale peasant economy was basically self-sufficient and relied on its own production to solve the problem of food and clothing. At that time, the technology of planting cotton in China had not been widely popularized, and dressing depended on sericulture and hemp planting. The rich wear silk and the poor wear coarse cloth. Flax is made by harvesting ramie and soaking it in water.
Remove the epidermis: extract the fiber, dry it in the sun, then twist it into thread, which is called "hemp", and then weave it into cloth. When a woman finishes other housework during the day, she becomes numb at night. For example, weeding and marijuana,
Taking care of the second sentence, "the children in the village are the masters." "Children" are men and women. Judging from the tone of the characters in the poem, nature refers to young people. The poem says: in the village, men and women are not allowed to be idle. Master,
That is, each department does its own thing and manages its own line. The meaning here is different from what we often say now: "Being the master". In addition to busy adults, there is another kind of people, that is, children who are not busy. They also participated in the upsurge of production in another way. "Children and grandchildren" refers to the children of the next generation. These little dolls are not able to work, can't plow the fields, and can't knit sweaters. Note that the word "unsolved" means "can't do it". If I can, I will take part in the labor of "ploughing" and "producing results". Although not, they are not idle. So what do you do? Children in the countryside,
I am familiar with the agricultural life of adults, and I have formed the habit of loving labor since I was a child, so I planted melons in mulberry trees in 3355 and learned to be an adult. This is a common thing in rural areas, but it has its own characteristics. Here, children who can't take part in labor are still like this. Then, how can an adult with a heavy labor burden be busy with production?
Although the description of children and grandchildren planting melons is written from the side, it is not a foil, but in-depth. Write like this,
In art, it exudes a rich flavor of life, unfolds a warm picture of labor and production in front of people, and leaves a strong rhyme interest in the language of poetry.
This is quite good.
