These four poems are praised by later generations as the best sentences in The Book of Songs. This is the time to write the scene, which is more lyrical. There are mixed stories of sadness and joy in these poems, and they also seem to be fables of personal life.
Who once said goodbye to me in that spring, in the willows? And who was waiting for me when I came back from a narrow escape in the heavy snow?
Is it the grand occasion of the wedding reception in Mulan Ci, or the scene of overgrown weeds during the Tenth Five-Year Plan? The spring when we left, the heavy snow when we came back, the seasons are changing, the time is passing, we leave, we return, what have we lost and what have we gained in coming and going?
There is no answer, only a lonely figure, hungry and thirsty, scorched by heavy acacia and anxiety, staggering and trembling towards the future he doesn't know in the heavy snow.
Extended data:
Recall that when I went out, Yangliuyiyi blew with the wind; Now on the way back, the snow is flying all over the sky. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and I am really tired of being thirsty and hungry. Full of sadness, full of sadness. Who knows my sadness!
Xiaoya Cai Wei is one of China's ancient realistic poetry anthology The Book of Songs. This is a poem about soldiers returning home, which sings the hard life and homesickness of soldiers who joined the army. This poem consists of six chapters, each with eight sentences.
In the first five sections, the author focuses on the hardships of life, strong homesickness and the reasons why he can't go home for a long time, revealing that soldiers have both the pleasure of defending the enemy and the pain of fighting, showing their desire for peace. The last chapter ends the poem with a painful lyric, which is touching.
This poem uses overlapping sentence patterns and figurative techniques, which embodies the artistic characteristics of The Book of Songs. The first four sentences of the last chapter describe the scenery and feelings at two specific moments, that is, going out that year and surviving today. The text is simple and profound, and the scene blends, which has always been considered as one of the famous articles in the Book of Songs.
Reading this poem together with other chapters in The Book of Songs, such as Gu Feng Drumming, Dongshan in Gu Feng, and No Clothes in Qin Feng, we can get a more complete story and a more real life experience. If you can imagine, this garrison soldier is the one who sings "Life and death are rich and fun is endless". The soldier who holds your hand and grows old with your son is also the one who sings the high-spirited battle song "No clothes, no robes and your son".
Wang Yuxing, the soldier who repaired my spear and walked with my son, was also the soldier who sang "Sorry for my hometown" in the drizzle. I'm a soldier from the east, and it's raining heavily. Then, the story of Xiaoya Cai Wei is richer. In fact, this poem does have too many colors and too deep feelings.
Acacia and ambition to serve the country, boldness and desolation are so harmoniously intertwined that a real life movement is played. In later works, such as The Fisherman's Pride by Chen Tao's The Journey to the West and Fan Zhongyan, we can also vaguely hear the distant and empty echo aroused by this poem in the river of time and life.
