Ming Dynasty: Xu Wei
Jiangbei Jiangnan is low and neat, and the long line is short and high.
Spring breeze has no credentials since ancient times, only one rider plays the flute.
Translation:
A group of innocent and lovely children found wicker and white catkins in their little hands, rubbed them hard and made a long line, and then came to the suburbs with great interest to run and fly paper kites.
The warm spring breeze is blowing gently. How hard will it take them to send kites to the sky one by one and fly at will? How much effort does it take for elders to bring up their children?
Extended data:
The poet organically combines poetry and painting with rich imagination, and poetry and painting complement each other, which is very interesting. This poem describes the preparation before flying a kite and the feeling of flying a kite, but it does not directly describe the activity of flying a kite, so it should be explained by pictures. The poet told readers that a group of children rubbed and rubbed hard, and when the kite-flying string was rubbed long enough, everyone came to the suburbs with great interest.
Then readers can see from the picture that this is a good day to fly kites. The wind is blowing, the sun is shining, the children are running around and sending kites into the sky. From this painting, the poet has a feeling: in the spring breeze, how much effort is needed to send kites to the sky and soar at will; And how much effort does the elders need to spend to train their children one by one and send them to Qingyun Road?
The first half of the poem focuses on the children's preparatory activities before flying kites. The poet did not describe all the preparatory activities comprehensively, but only started with one detail and wrote how they tried to weave kite leads. The word "rub" three times in a row reveals the serious and eager form of children.
The impatient children are not tired of this monotonous and laborious work, which shows how much they are looking forward to flying kites. Immediately after the word "enough", they stopped working as soon as the lead they rubbed reached a sufficient length, and their uncontrollable joy and eagerness jumped onto the paper, as if to jump up and fly the kite into the sky.
The poet's desire for children is accurately grasped and described in detail. The last two paragraphs show the poet's thoughts flying, and the carefree child on the screen seems to be the figure of his childhood. Holding a kite, he is immersed in happiness with a beautiful vision for his future life. I don't know when, the harsh reality shattered his dreams one after another.
Now he is old and has gone through many vicissitudes, but he still has hope for the future. He sincerely hopes that the children can fly to Qingyun with the help of the spring breeze. For kites, "spring breeze" refers to the breeze that takes them to the sky; For children, it refers to the cultivation of parents and teachers, which can "bring" children to the top of the world.
The whole poem is full of reality and reality, which not only has a strong atmosphere of real life, but also has the magnificent color of imaginary world. A good poem on painting helps to understand the connotation of painting; Readers can give full play to their imagination by reading poems and paintings. This poem is a typical example of successful poetry and painting.
