1, Guan Mowing Wheat (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
The Tian family has less leisure in the month, and people are twice as busy in May. In the evening, the south wind rises and the wheat turns yellow.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, accompanied by pot pulp, went with the battlefield, and Ding Zhuang was in Nangang.
It is full of rustic heat, burning the back and burning the sun, not knowing the heat, cherishing the long summer.
There was a poor woman with her son by her side, an ear in her right hand and a basket hanging from her left arm.
Listening to his words of concern is very sad. My family's taxes are gone, so I can take this to satisfy my hunger.
Today, I have no merit, and I have never worked in farming and mulberry. There are 300 stones in the land, and there is surplus grain in the year of Yan.
I am ashamed to read this in private, and I can't forget it every day.
Appreciation: Watching Wheat is an early work by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes the busy farming scene in the wheat harvest season, criticizes the exorbitant taxes and levies that caused people's poverty, and feels deeply guilty that the poet himself can have plenty of food and clothing without virtue labor, showing the humanitarian spirit of a feudal official with conscience.
In writing techniques, the poet combines panoramic description with the description of specific characters, making the whole poem an organic whole.
2. Fan Zhongyan, a fisherman on the river (Song Dynasty)
People who come to the river often only love perches.
Look at those poor fishermen, floating up and down in the big waves and rocking in the boats.
Appreciation: The Fisherman on the River is a five-character quatrain written by Fan Zhongyan, a poet in the Song Dynasty. This poem points out that people who come and go drinking and having fun on the river only know the delicious bass, but they don't know and don't want to know the danger and hardship of fishermen fighting with stormy waves.
By reflecting the hardships of fishermen's labor, the whole poem hopes to arouse people's attention to the sufferings of people's livelihood and embodies the poet's sympathy for the working people.
3. Rural April (Song Dynasty) Weng Juan
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.
Appreciation: April in the Country is a seven-character quatrain written by Weng Juan, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. In a fresh and lively style, this poem depicts the charming scenery in the early summer in the rural areas of the south of the Yangtze River and expresses the poet's love for rural life. Write the first two sentences about natural scenery. "Green" means lush trees, and "white" means water reflecting the sky.
From a visual point of view, the poet described the bright and moving landscape colors. The second sentence not only refers to rain with smoke, but also describes the unique plum rain scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and adds infinite vitality to the cultivation with bird singing. The last two sentences are about the busyness of farmers.
