First of all, the author:
Xiao Dezao (date of birth and death unknown), whose name is Dongfu, was born in Minqing (now Fujian). Shaoxing was a scholar in the 21st year. His poems were once famous, and Yang Wanli, You Mao, Lu You and Fan Chengda were called "You Fan Xiao Lu Shi Si Weng".
However, the collection of poems has not been widely circulated and has long been lost. The existing works are included in the brilliant and harmonious "Non-Zhai Essays" Li Ding Volume in the Qing Dynasty. The poetic style is strange, steep and ancient, and the thought is bitter.
Second, a brief analysis:
"A load of dry wood is an ancient ferry."
On this day, the woodcutter cut wood on the mountain, carried it on his shoulder and went to Gudutou to sell it. Crossing is a place where people come and go and merchants gather. The woodcutter soon sold out of dry wood, then he put his eldest sons in his pockets and turned and set foot on his way home.
"Today is a good day to travel."
As I walked, I thought about how much firewood I sold, how much money I took and how much rice I bought today, so I didn't have to eat vegetables. You can also eat wild vegetables casually on the side of the road, so after three calculations, the expenses of this day are still slightly surplus, which is also a well-off society.
"Go back to the bottom of the ravine to sharpen the knife and axe, and plan for the whole family tomorrow."
Before long, the woodcutter went home. While the old woman was cooking, the woodcutter was not idle. Instead, he went down to the bottom of the stream, where he grinded stones and axes. But it turns out that his so-called "a day on the boat is good" is just for that day. Today there is tomorrow's wine, today there is today's food.
As for tomorrow, his "excellent tour" is not included, so for tomorrow's livelihood, it is natural to sharpen the axe at this moment so that he can cut firewood tomorrow, and then he can choose to sell it at Gudutou. Maybe in the afternoon, he can be glad that he was an "excellent tour" that day, and then he can go back and forth accordingly.
Appreciate:
First of all, from this poem:
But the poem is about the woodcutter in the deep mountains, but it is not clear. Tell everyone implicitly through the words "Gudu" and "Sword Emperor";
The poem describes the woodcutter's day's life and teases him with "Let's plan together tomorrow", which shows that the woodcutter is like this every day, which is typical. Such a subtle conception is the strength of the quatrains of the Song people, and it is also worth learning from later generations.
Second, emotionally:
It is an extremely heavy topic, and life is difficult. After eating the last meal, the author dealt with it in a cold and humorous way. If he understands three of them, it is absolutely difficult for anyone to laugh. He can only sigh, thinking that the interpretation of this poem is over.
