Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie
Lying in the Yazhai listening to Zhu Xiao, I suspect it is the voice of the people's sufferings;
Some small collectors in Caozhou County always care about their feelings.
This poem begins with writing bamboo, expressing anxiety and concern for the people, as well as his sense of responsibility and honest attitude. Because the painting is for the boss's elders, there are many modest and euphemistic words.
The first sentence points out the identity and environment, and closely follows the theme of drawing a scattered bamboo. "Yazhai" is a quiet room in the yamen, which shows that you are an official; Not talking about "official residence" and "mansion" not only shows that a person's rank is low, but also means modesty. I took time out of my busy schedule to have a rest, but I heard it seemed to be stormy. It turns out that the bamboo forest in my office is rustled and full of interest by the breeze. It can be seen that the official residence, a noisy and muddy place, is so elegant, and the poet's own elegance is self-evident.
If written according to common sense, the following can easily become a romantic work, but the second sentence is unexpectedly wonderful, and the sound of bamboo leaves is associated with the sufferings of the people. The word "doubt" expresses the poet's love and diligence for the people and his sincere feelings for the people. During his tenure, he really cared about the people and won their respect. In the end, he was falsely accused of dismissal because he opened a warehouse for disaster relief without authorization, which violated the direct interests of corrupt officials.
Poets attach great importance to the combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and often use poetry to point out topics, and only insert calligraphy topics into the image of F-picture, forming an inseparable unity. The language of the whole poem is simple, without allusions, and the whole poem is pure line drawing. But time is interspersed with metaphors and puns, which enhances the artistic conception of painting with poetry and adds the charm of painting with poetry, bringing out the best in each other.
