Every branch of bamboo outside the yamen touches our hearts. The actual meaning is that although we are only small state and county officials, the people's every move affects our feelings, which fully reflects Zheng Banqiao's concern for people's sufferings.
Mozitu inscribed poem "Ya Zhai Lie Listening to Xiao Zhu Xiao",
Doubt is the voice of people's sufferings.
Some small officials in Caozhou County,
A branch and a leaf are always related to love.
translate
Lying in the study of the county government, I heard the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.
Doubt is the voice of people's sufferings: doubt is the complaint of people's hunger and cold.
Some small officials in Caozhou County: Although we are only small officials in counties.
A branch, a leaf, always affects our feelings: but every move of ordinary people affects our feelings.
On the surface, these two poems are about bamboo, which means that our small state and county officials and the branches and leaves of bamboo outside the yamen bedroom all affect our feelings. But the practical significance is that although we are only small state and county officials, the people's every move affects our feelings, which fully reflects Zheng Banqiao's concern for people's sufferings.
This poem shows that the poet (Zheng Xie) is indifferent to fame and fortune, loves the people like a son, and is compassionate and kind to the people.
