No matter how beautiful the sky is in a good time, who can enjoy the pleasure?
Xin Qiji
Qingpingle·Village Residence
The eaves are low,
Green grass on the stream.
Wu Yin is very charming when drunk,
Whose old lady has white hair?
The eldest child is hoeing beans to the east of the stream,
The middle child is weaving a chicken coop;
The child is most fond of scoundrels,
lying at the head of the stream Peel the lotus pods.
The author has written many excellent works describing rural life, and this poem is one of them. Liu Xizai said, "Ci poetry must be fresh" and "Dan language must be flavorful" ("Yi Gai·Ci Music"). The author's work has the characteristics of "fresh Dan language" and poetic charm. It is manifested in three aspects: description technique, structure and conception.
In terms of description techniques, this poem does not use thick and colorful ink in any sentence, but uses pure line drawing to describe the environment and life of a family of five in the countryside. The author is able to describe the different faces and moods of the young and old family in a lifelike and vivid way, with a strong flavor of life. It would be difficult to achieve such an artistic conception without a generous hand.
