The poem "The Shepherd Boy" shows us a vivid picture of a shepherd boy returning home at night: the vast Yuan Ye is covered with green grass; The evening breeze is blowing the weeds. I haven't seen the shepherd boy come back yet, but I first heard the melodious and approaching flute of the shepherd boy coming from the wind. The flute sounded intermittently and fluttered with the wind. The shepherd boy came back and had a good meal. It's already after dusk. He didn't even take off his hemp fiber, so he lay in the open field to rest on a moonlit night. There are scenes, feelings, characters and voices in the poem. This vivid scene appears in our field of vision from far and near.
Grassland, flute, moonlit night and shepherd boy, just like a bleak ink painting, make our hearts feel quiet. The poem "The Shepherd Boy" not only makes us feel the peace and tranquility of life, but also makes us feel the freedom and natural relaxation of the shepherd boy's mind. During the day, cows and shepherds are friends, and at night, it's really like living in a paradise. Of course, through poetry, we can also see the author's pursuit of spiritual world, a yearning for a happy life away from the noise.

works appreciation
Jia Fan Leke
Without words, Jia and Giacodo have no graves. Braving the wind and waves, into the belly of the fish. Farmers are more bitter, so I envy you. Since Yuefu Poetry Collection, poems describing merchants' exile life have emerged constantly. Most of its authors regard merchants' life as romantic interest, so they are popular with Jia as the theme of poems.
Compared with its predecessors, Liu Jia's "anti-Jia" is just an anti-tune, that is to say, Jia Kexing's businessmen are not envied, and they are always in danger of drowning in the belly of fish. Although Jia Ke is so dangerous, farmers still envy them, because their lives are more painful and insecure than Jia Ke's.
Appreciation: The language of this poem is popular and quite close to spoken language. But although his words are shallow, his meaning is quite deep. The poet uses the technique of artistic expression of contrast. The first four sentences write that Jia Ke's life safety is difficult to guarantee, and he regards being buried in the belly of a fish as his "ending" and destination. The arrangement and rendering of the first four sentences is just to compare the last two sentences, "farmers are more bitter, so they envy their health", in order to highlight the tragic fate of farmers. It is precisely because of the clever contrast of the poet that this poem can still receive strong artistic effects that are often used.
Go early
Ma Si was surprised and immediately went on dreaming. A lonely heart is full of troubles, and a servant is by my side. The birds are not scattered, and the bright moon shines on the lonely city. Don't envy those idlers, those who live by the stream have already plowed. This poem, entitled "Go Early", is the poet's personal experience and personal experience, and it describes the feeling of travelers going early.
Appreciation: The first four sentences are written in the morning. Get up early and hurry. When will you arrive early? The poet didn't say, he just appealed to his feelings. Said that after I got on the horse and set off, my dream was broken; I don't know how long I've been gone, but I was awakened by the neighing of horses, only to find that I was already on my way. "Dream Immediately" makes people realize that the poet was awakened from his sleep and went on his way.
As a result, after he left, he was still dreaming and sleepy, indicating that he was already on his way. "Ma Si's surprise from time to time" is the continuation and reappearance of the previous poem, which further emphasizes "leaving early". Ma Si's dream went on at once, suggesting the passage of time and the change of place, while the poet was still in a trance and took his time, indeed because he left early. At the same time, the neigh of the horse reflects the silence when the night is not over, and the poet who continues his dream is alarmed by Ma Si, which vividly depicts the scene of travelers leaving early.
As a realistic poet in the late Tang Dynasty, Liu Jia has a profound understanding of the hard life of farmers, and many of his poems reflect this aspect. For example, in Anti-Jia, it is said that Jia Ke has been running around very hard, but farmers envy them because "farmers work harder".
"Mulberry Girl" wrote that the peasant woman had to get up early and go to a distant place to pick because the spring silkworms were not old and the mulberry leaves were exhausted. Wait a minute. Although this poem is written about "going to the early morning", after great efforts have been made to render the boundless atmosphere of going to the early morning and the sad feelings of going to the early morning, the style of writing has changed suddenly, opening up a new artistic conception and setting off the sufferings of farmers with the hardships of going to the early morning. So as to make the meaning of this poem more profound. This not only shows the originality of the poet's layout, but also shows that this poem is different from leisurely pastoral poetry.
