Source: "The Poem of a Prodigy": After a long drought, people meet with rain, so they meet other places. Wedding night, for the first time.
It means that the long drought, meeting in a foreign land, wedding ceremony and gold medal are the four happy events in life, which describe the happy mood when the good wishes are realized.
Tales of Wonders is a collection of poems written by Wang Zhu in Song Dynasty. Later generations compiled "prodigy poems" based on some poems by Wang Zhu and other people's poems. In fact, the prodigy poems handed down from generation to generation are not all the works of young prodigies, nor are they all written by Wang Zhu alone, but have been revised and supplemented by the poems of Sui and Tang Dynasties and even the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Most titles are added separately. Poetry is a five-character quatrain, with neat meter and easy-to-understand words, which is a model for teenagers to learn poetry.
A copy of the first poem
In addition to the previous edition, The Poem of a Prodigy also includes dozens of "frontispiece poems". Different from the theme of telling stories and encouraging students to learn, the first poem is mainly about scenery and chanting things, with occasional narration, which is obviously supplemented by later generations.
Although they are all the same five-character quatrains, the words of leisure and warning in the "pre-poems" are quite different from the exhortation questions, and the theme, content and style are self-contained Therefore, this edition selects "the first poem" as an independent chapter, and 32 poems are arranged according to different versions for reference with the previous edition.
