Minimalism: Pure white poems can be read by everyone without translation.

Minimalist artistic conception: from the perspective of children, the charm is as relaxed and bright as nursery rhymes.

▲ Shao Yong's "Poetry in Mountain Villages": a trip to the village of two or three miles, four or five smoke villages.
Not only the scenery in the poem immediately comes to mind, but also a childlike picture easily comes to mind: a child holding his mother's hand, jumping happily, walking two or three miles easily in one breath, and seeing the chimneys of four or five families smoking in front.

Rhetorical minimalism: 10 numbers 10 Chinese characters are half mixed and half interesting.
In China's ancient poems, poetic expressions are often used to contrast the inner feelings expressed by the poets in the poems, so that readers can get an immersive feeling when reading. They often use rhetorical devices such as lyricism, metaphor and personification. , and even use flowery rhetoric. It is more normal to be abstruse and obscure. But Shao Yong's Poems of Mountain Villages is unique. He has a unique way. He put aside the use of complex rhetoric and the cover of flowery words, simply laid out the words in four simple and clear vernacular sentences, and then listed several relatively simple natural numbers in each sentence, from one to ten, which ran through the whole poem in order, but it made people read, seemingly simple and unpretentious.
The minimalist rhetoric used by the author of this poem seems to recall his cardamom years with poetic flying, even if the reader is not a child. It can be said that there is no better rhetoric than rhetoric, which completely sublimates the style of the whole poem.

Ok, the whole poem uses words. Words are just? Numbers? And then what? Chinese characters? There are only a few simple combinations. Moreover, there are ***20 words in this combination poem, including 10 for numbers and 10 for the meaning of Chinese characters, which means that the number of this poem accounts for 50% of the total number of words in the poem. This is a wonderful work in the vast world of China's ancient poems. It is novel, interesting and not redundant, but it sets off the rhyme more strongly.

Minimalism of poetic style: from linear scenery to quantitative aesthetic simplicity to natural taste
China's ancient poetry is a classic with national style, a famous ancient poetry. At the same rhythm, we can enjoy tea. Sometimes, we don't have to look at the author of the poem first, but after reading the poem, we can almost know who the basic author is. Product? In a few minutes, for a master of poetry, the hit rate of guessing the author according to poetry is also quite high, and the basis of judgment is the style of poetry.
For example, Li Bai is a classic of romanticism. His poems are free and easy, but the rhetoric is exaggerated. What? How does the water from the Yellow River flow out of heaven? , or? Until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon? Another example? The road to the sky, but there is no way out in front of my eyes? ,? But since the water is still flowing, even though we cut it with a sword? ,? Suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days? Wait? Almost every sentence is unconventional, and every sentence is full? Poet fairy? Personality. Another example is Du Fu, who is famous for his realism about the sufferings of ordinary people. There are thousands of buildings in Ande, and all the poor people in the world are very happy. Wait a minute. In addition, there are the bold school of Su Dongpo and the graceful school of Li Qingzhao, who can judge who is the author of ancient poetry by reading and appreciating the style of poetry.
Now let's take a look at Shao Yong's Poems of Mountain Villages in Song Dynasty. If you want to ask the poetic style of this poem, I think it's still? Jane? We have the right to call it here? Simple style? All right. For example:

Is it for people to see? Simple feeling? Like a sentence? One to two or three miles, four or five smoke villages? , just like visual linear presentation.
What if we make good use of it again? Simple quantifier? Every sentence of the poem is arranged in words, such as? Are you online? 、? Home? 、? Seats? 、? Branch? Although it is simple here, it brings novel and changeable beauty;
Another example is poetry? Jane was born happy? For example, the numbers from one to ten are simply and naturally distributed in every sentence of the poem in order, and at the same time appear in order with the natural scenery of nature? Path? 、? Smoking? 、? Pavilion? Flowers? Nature is intertwined and rubbed together, becoming a simple and extraordinary swan song through the ages!
