April in the countryside
Weng Juan in Song Dynasty
The mountains and plains are all green, and the sound of Zigui is raining like smoke.
In April, there were few idle people in the countryside, and sericulture was planted in the fields.
Interpretation of poetry:
The mountains and Yuan Ye are lush, and from a distance, lush, and the water color in the rice fields is in harmony with the sky. The cuckoo crows and the sky is foggy and rainy. Busy April has arrived, and farmers are busy with farm work. There are no idle people in the village. They just finished planting mulberry and raising silkworms and went to transplant rice seedlings.
poetic sentiment
The whole poem is concise and vivid in language, natural in style and full of life breath, which expresses the author's praise for the hard work of farmers.
About the author:
Weng Juan (? -? ), a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, whose words are ancient and exquisite. Yongjia (now Fangdouyan Village, Liushi Town, Yueqing City, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province) is also known as the "Four Spirits of Yongjia" with Zhao Shixiu, Zhao Xu and Ji Xu, among which Weng Juan is the oldest. Because I only took part in the imperial examination once in my life and failed, I spent my whole life in cloth clothes.
His landscape poems not only inherited the exquisite style of the late Tang Dynasty, but also included the rational features of the Song Dynasty, such as:
Wang Ye:
One day is cool and sunny in autumn, and countless peaks are far and near.
Wandering up the mountain to see wild water, I suddenly saw green mountains under the water.
Weng Juan's poems mostly use the technique of line drawing, and the poetic style is relatively simple, with a faint charm in simplicity.
