Zhuan Xu used "drums and animal heads" to render the atmosphere of dragon boat racing, making the finishing point face to face; The neckline uses "rushing to the waves and retreating birds" to set off the speed of the dragon boat race, which has a wide field of vision and is in harmony with the scenery. On the surface, this poem depicts the scene of a dragon boat crossing the river, but in fact it is satirizing and flattering the villain. Everything is possible to change. It doesn't always start with scenery. You should keep your feet on the ground, not have it both ways.
The Original Text and Translation of Crossing the River Poem
Xi Shi looked at the engine in front of the inn and thought about the Dragon Boat Festival for a long time. When encouraged, the thunder is weak and the snow is smaller than the animal's head.
The rushing waves highlight people's attention, and the jumping waves compete for the birds to fly back. Kong Lung didn't believe me, so he won the championship.
After living in Xi Shi for a long time, I began to miss the scene of the Dragon Boat Festival, and seized the opportunity to start acting in front of the post office building. The first blow of the drum is like thunder, and the animal's head spits out. Ten thousand people broke through the chorus and shouted, and the jumping waves competed with the birds. Many ships rushed forward like dragons and really won the championship.
