"Goose! Goose! Goose! "
Facing the blue sky, a flock of geese are singing with their necks bent.
Snow-white feathers float on the green water, and the red soles of the feet paddle clear waves, just like rowing. [2]
Creation background
When he was a child, Luo lived in a small village in the north of Yiwu County. There is a pond outside the village called Luojiatang. Every spring, wicker flutters by the pond, the water is crystal clear, and geese flock on the water, which makes the scenery particularly charming. One day, a guest came to the house. Seeing that he was handsome and clever, the guests asked him a few questions. King Robin answered questions like running water, which surprised the guests. When Wang Luobin followed the guests to Luojiatang, a flock of white geese floated in the pond. The guests were interested in trying Wang Luobin, so they pointed to the goose and asked him to write a poem with it. Wang Luobin wrote this poem after a little thought. [3]
works appreciation
The first sentence of the poem uses three words "goose" in succession. This repeated singing method expresses the poet's love for geese and enhances the emotional effect.
In the second sentence, the expression of geese chirping gives people hearing. The voice of the goose is loud, and the word "Qu" makes the image of the goose craning its neck and bowing its head to the sky very vivid. This sentence writes what you see first, then what you hear, which is very hierarchical.
The above is about geese marching on land, and the following two sentences are about geese swimming leisurely in the water. The little poet used a set of antithetical sentences to describe the wild geese swimming in the water from the color aspect. The goose's hair is white, but the river is green. The contrast between "white" and "green" is bright and dazzling, which is the right sentence; Similarly, the webbed goose is red, the water wave is blue, and "red" and "green" are all gorgeous, so it is. In the two sentences, "white" and "red" are relative, "green" and "green" are relative, and they are a pair of ups and downs. It's wonderful to go back and forth like this and do the opposite.
In this pair of sentences, the use of verbs is also just right. The word "floating" means that the goose is carefree and motionless in the water. The word "dial" means that the goose paddles hard in the water, causing waves. In this way, dynamic and static are born together, writing a kind of changing beauty.
