Walking on the Village Road in Autumn is a seven-character quatrain written by Le Leifa, a poet in Song Dynasty. This poem is about what I saw and felt when I passed a small village in the countryside in autumn, and it depicts simple, free and beautiful rural pastoral scenery. The poem is fresh and lovely, implicit and meaningful, which shows the poet's love for rural natural scenery and his pursuit of free, leisurely and harmonious pastoral life.
Qiurihangcun road
The children's hedges fell in the sunset,
The bean pods are fragrant with ginger buds.
Who is the owner of all the rice flowers,
Red dragonfly and green mantis.
This quatrain, as the title of the poem says, is about what you saw and felt when you passed a small village in the country in autumn. In the poem, a wonderful picture of Tujia scenery and local customs is unfolded, which makes people fascinated by reading. This poem says: He approached a village. It was dusk, and a golden setting sun was shining. After a hard day's work, the farmers all went home, and the children were playing happily by the fence outside the yard. It's time to cook dinner, and the fragrance of boiled beans, Jiang Miao and social meat wafts from the farmhouse. There is a continuous paddy field on the roadside outside the village, and the rice is in full bloom. At this time, from a distance, there is no one, it is very quiet. I only saw red dragonflies flying in low-lying areas, and green mantis crawling on rice leaves. The harmonious and natural rural scenery deeply intoxicated the poet.
Poetry is a meticulous description of what you see in front of you, and it is overwhelming to absorb the pastoral scenery in the evening in droves. The poet did not pour out his feelings in the poem, but put his feelings into the description of the scenery, which made the whole poem full of joy and pleasure. For example, the third sentence of the poem appears in the form of a question, knowing that the scenery is ownerless and insisting on asking "Who is the Lord", which highlights the joy brought by the harvest scene in front of us and subtly shows the silence of the evening. The fourth sentence is about red dragonfly and green mantis, which are not only colorful, but also add a word "companion" between them, and create these two lovely little creatures in an atmosphere of interdependence and harmony by anthropomorphism. It highlights their vitality and makes the whole poem give people a positive feeling.
There are three or four famous sentences in this poem, which are specially developed by Mr. Qian Zhongshu in Selected Notes on Song Poetry, which is very helpful for understanding this poem. Mr. Qian said: This kind of contrast in syntax and color is often found in ancient poems, such as Bai Juyi's Answer to Zhou Xie Lv, "Most of the wine in the backyard is scattered, and the red screen covers the green window to sleep", Li Shangyin's "The cloister is closed to cover loneliness, and the green parrot faces the red rose", and Han Wo's "Deep courtyard sleeps in the daytime, and the red rose reflects the green banana", Lu You. Red dragonflies have green lotus hearts. " Le Leifa's third sentence is fresher and more specific than Lu You's, and the whole poem is more exciting.
