"On the Pool" (Tang) Bai Juyi
Xiao Wa propped up a small boat and stole the white lotus back.
I can't hide the trace, and duckweeds bloom together.
Main idea of the poem: A child holds a boat and secretly picks white lotus. He didn't know how to hide the trace, and a boat crossed the duckweed on the water.
brief introduction to the poet: Bai Juyi (772-846), born in Xinzheng, Henan Province, was born in Taiyuan and moved to Xiaao when his great-grandfather was born. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen * * * advocated the new Yuefu movement, which was called "Yuan Bai" in the world and "Liu Bai" with Liu Yuxi.
Poetics: Bai Juyi's leisure poems have a great influence on future generations. Their simple language style and indifferent and leisurely mood have been praised repeatedly. However, in contrast, the "leisure" thought of retreating from politics, being content with peace, and the attitude of returning to the Buddha's old age and imitating Tao Yuanming's life in these poems have a far-reaching impact because they are more consistent with the psychology of later literati. For example, Bai Juyi has poems such as "Fighting for two snail horns, you get a dime a dozen" (No.7 of "Let's drink seven songs"), "What's fighting for on the snail horn, I'll send this body in the firelight of the stone" (No.2 of "Drinking five songs"), and "I'll find out what happened to the snail horn after that" (Wu Zeng's "Can change my diet", Volume 8). That is to say, on the basis of the names given by the Song people, "The names of drunkard, pedant and Dongpo all come from Bai Letian's poetry" (Gong Yizheng's Notes on Mustard Hidden). Zhou Bida, a Song Dynasty poet, pointed out: "In this dynasty, Su Wenzhong, a loyal public official, did not pay much attention to permission, but only loved Lotte and repeatedly wrote poems. Gaiqi's articles are all about words, but they are loyal and generous, outspoken and full of words, affectionate with people, and indifferent to things, which are roughly similar. Living in Huangzhou, the first name is Dongpo, which must have started from Lotte Zhongzhou. " ("Poems of Erlaotang") All these show the influence track of Bai Juyi and his poems.
