Village Night is a seven-character quatrain written by Lei Zhen, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The content of the whole poem is: the grass is full of pond water, and the mountain topic is cold. Cowherd's child sat on the cow's back and casually played the tune with piccolo.
Write the background in the first two sentences of this poem. The first sentence "the pond is full of grass" means that the festival is in late spring and the pond is full of grass. Drawing lessons from the famous sentence "Spring grass grows in the pond" in Xie Lingyun's "Climbing the pond upstairs", the word "full" is easy to "live", which shows the difference of festivals. "The water is full of evil" means that it coincides with the rainy season, so the water rises very high. Write the sunset in the distant mountains.
The sunset hanging on the top of the mountain and Du Fu's "spit on four hills" are vividly expressed with a word "title". Another word "immersion" says that the setting sun and green hills are reflected in the water, much like Wang Anshi's sentence "The northern mountains lose their green and rise horizontally".
The poem centers on the pond, where the grass is green and the water is clear as water, setting off the green hills and the sunset, and the middle is maintained with the word "immersion", making the pond look very lively and colorful.
