The poem "Fine Hands, Make a Loom" is a description of the characteristics, labor scene and diligent image of the loom hand. The word "slim" describes the shape of the weaver girl's hand, which is slender and slender. The word "Su" describes the color of the weaver girl's hand, which is white, tender and beautiful. The word "one" describes the weaver girl's gesture of reaching out and swinging, which is skillful and elegant. The reduplication "Zaza" describes the constant sound of the loom when the weaver weaves. The word "Nong" vividly describes the flight of the shuttle on the loom, and also describes the weaving action of the weaver girl. "Delicate Jade Hand" is written like seeing its shape, while "Zhazha Weaving Machine" is written more like hearing its sound. These two poems not only describe the beauty of the Weaver Girl's body, but also deliberately describe the diligent image of the Weaver Girl, and even more deliberately write the lonely and depressed mood of the Weaver Girl because the Cowherd is not around.
2. Original text
Distant Altair
Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl.
Skillful hands, make a loom.
Tears fall like rain all day long;
The river is clear and shallow, how much is the difference!
Between water and water, there are no words.
3. Translation
Distant and bright Altair, bright and distant Vega. The weaver girl is waving her long white hands, and the loom keeps ringing. Because of lovesickness, she couldn't weave any patterns all day, and tears scattered all over the floor like rain. Just across the clear and shallow Milky Way, the boundary between the two phases is not far from each other. Across the clear and shallow banks of the Milky Way, they stared at each other silently.
4. Brief analysis
This poem captures the galaxy and loom related to the myth of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In fact, it is a metaphor for the lovesickness of the husband who is far away from his wife and relatives by writing about the mentality that the Weaver Girl loves her and doesn't care about weaving, crying over the river and sighing over the water. Poetry is full of imagination, lingering emotion, beautiful language and strange realm. It is a wonderful flower in Huaiyuan's lovesickness poems and attracts much attention. This poem also uses reduplication to enhance the rhythmic beauty of the poem, which should be shown when reading. There are ten sentences in this poem, six of which use reduplicated words, namely "Tiaotiao", "Jiao Jiao", "Fairy Fairy", "Miscellaneous", "Ying Ying" and "Pulse". These overlapping words make this poem concise, beautiful and interesting. Especially the last two sentences, if the image of a young woman full of sadness appears on paper, it is a rare meaningful and muddy sentence.
