1, "Cowherd Words"
Ming Dynasty: Gao Qi
Your horns are bent and my oxtail is bald.
* * * came piccolo and whip, south Longdong hillock to each other.
The sun is setting, the grass is far away, the cows are hungry, and only I know;
Sing on the cow, the cow sits down and lies next to the cow at night.
I'm not worried about cattle that have been grazing for many years, but I'm afraid of losing rent and selling my cattle.
Your horns are crooked and my oxtail is short. We all took piccolo and whip, and chased each other to Nanlong Donggang. The sun is setting, the grass is far behind, and the cows are hungry. Only I know. I ride on the cow, sing, sit next to the cow and play, and sleep next to the cow when I come back at night. I'm not worried about herding cattle all the year round, but I'm afraid of selling them and paying the rent.
2. Sick cattle
Song Dynasty: Li Gang
Niu Geng's 1,000-acre disease has brought the fruits of labor to thousands of granaries, but its own spirit is very tired and exhausted, but who will pity its hard work?
But in order to satisfy all sentient beings, even if they are sick in the sun, they will not hesitate.
Gengyun Liu was ill for thousands of acres, but he was extremely exhausted mentally and physically exhausted. However, who will pity its hard work? But in order to satisfy all beings, even if they fall down and lie in the sunset, they will not hesitate.
Appreciation of sick cattle
The first sentence of the poem says that cows have worked hard all their lives and achieved fruitful results. They don't say that cows are "sick", but every word contains the meaning of "sick". Year after year, they plowed thousands of acres of land and made thousands of boxes, which inevitably led to exhaustion and illness.
The second sentence says that although the cow has made great achievements, no one sympathizes with it, and it is very emotional. Three or four sentences are answered in the tone of a cow, which personifies the cow and reveals its willingness to sacrifice its precious character for the people.
