Yazhai lay listening to Little Zhu Xiao, suspecting that it was the voice of the people's sufferings.
Some small collectors in Caozhou County always care about their feelings.
Rustle: the sound of bamboo branches and leaves shaking.
Small: small
Affection: affection
The meaning of this poem is: lying in the study of the yamen, listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves, I always feel that it is the complaint of the suffering and cold of the people. In counties, just like our junior officials, every little thing among the people, just like every branch in the painting, always affects our feelings.
On the surface, these two poems are about bamboo, which means: we small state and county officials, the branches and leaves of bamboo outside the yamen bedroom, all affect our feelings. The actual meaning is: although I am only a small state and county official, every move of the people affects my feelings. This fully reflects Zheng Banqiao's concern for people's sufferings.
This poem was presented by Zheng Banqiao when he was the magistrate of a county in wei county, Shandong Province in 11 or 12 years. One or two sentences are figurative. The first sentence, "My yamen is lying listening to the rustling bamboo", is written by the author lying in my yamen's study and hearing the breeze blowing bamboo outside the window, giving people a very bleak and chilly feeling. The second sentence, "Doubt is the voice of people's sufferings", is the association generated by the author's cold bamboo sound. The author thinks of the sufferings of ordinary people from the sound of wind and bamboo in nature, which seems to be the sobbing of ordinary people struggling in hunger and cold, and fully embodies the author's love for the people in the hearts of the government. Speak your mind in three or four sentences. The third sentence, "some officials in Caozhou County", not only describes themselves, but also includes them. It can be seen that it is "parents" who want to solve their worries for the people. This poem broadens the connotation of poetry. The fourth sentence, "One branch and one leaf always care about feelings", not only takes care of Feng Zhu's calligraphy and painting poems, but also places deep feelings on them. Every bit of common people is closely related to "parents"! This poem was written in Shandong Province when he took office. There are countless hungry people. Zheng Banqiao runs around for the victims all day, working hard during the day, thinking a lot at night, and can't sleep at night. Zheng Banqiao's poem on painting is linked with the sufferings of people's lives through the swaying sound of the wind and the bamboo, and it places the author's deep concern and sympathy for people's destiny. It is really commendable that an official in the feudal era has such deep feelings for the working people.
