Appreciation of famous sentences
There are 60 pieces of Four Seasons Pastoral Fun, just like a long picture of rural life. This is one of them. One is about the life scene of a summer resort: men plow and women weave, working day and night, although hard, but also happy. The best part is the last two sentences. Imitation is children's nature, and children's games in rural areas mostly imitate adults' labor. The word "learning" reveals the innocence and liveliness of children and is full of life interest. There is no image of the old man in the poem, but calling the peasant woman a "child" and the child a "child and grandson" is clearly the tone of the old farmer and a picture of farmhouse music in the eyes of an old man. There are elements of realism here, and it also contains the poet's ideal of rural life. The language is popular and simple, and the writing is fresh and light, which makes people feel immersive and gives people beautiful artistic enjoyment.
