Tile poems and ancient poems

Song Mei Yao Chen's pottery

Those people don't touch the soil, but live in high-rise buildings with tiles like fish scales.

Appreciation: In ancient times, there were many poems that exposed the sufferings of feudal society and reflected the sufferings of laborers. However, from Meng Jiao's poems on Weaving Maid in Tang Dynasty to Changyu's poems on Silkworm Maid in Song Dynasty, most of them were about clothes. Although both Zheng Gu's My Book and Yu Juan's Hard Work are based on the hunger for land to the tiller, on the whole, the theme is limited to men plowing and women weaving. In contrast, Mei's poems about kiln workers are very novel. Some of these two sentences say "ten fingers never touch mud". The word "ten" seems to be less sharp than the word "inch", and extremely rich people don't work at all. And it is also very vivid to describe architecture with "scale scale". The poet's writing is concise and profound, and it is thought-provoking to read.

Tao has removed all the dirt in front of the door, and there is no tile in the house. A rich man lives in a tile-roofed building without touching mud.
