Appreciation:
Painting a Chicken is an inscribed poem. "You don't have to cut the red crown on your head, but you will walk in the future covered in white." This is the action and manner of writing a rooster. Wearing a natural red crown that doesn't need to be cut, I was all white and came face to face with great interest. The poet used the contrast of description and color to sketch a big cock with red crown and white feathers, commanding and imposing appearance. The "red crown on the head" in the first sentence partially describes the red crown on the cock's head.
In this first sentence, the poet pays more attention to the natural beauty of the rooster without decoration, so the poet praises this beauty as "no need to cut". The sentence "covered in snow white" also describes the white feathers of the rooster from the whole body. Clear, from local to comprehensive; Compared with the red crown on the cock's head, a large area of white (cock) has a strong color contrast, depicting the beautiful and noble image of the cock.
"I have never dared to speak lightly in my life, and I have told thousands of families to open it." This is about the psychology and voice of a rooster. The poet's imitation of a rooster reveals its psychological state of not daring to speak easily in its life. When it crows, it means the arrival of dawn. When it blares, every family should open the door to welcome the arrival of a new day. "Never dare to speak lightly in one's life", the poet's poetic path turns sharply, saying that a rooster never dares to crow casually all his life. This sentence is restrained and low-key.
In particular, the word "dare not" is used aptly, which paves the way for the conclusion of the fourth sentence and has a contrast effect on the next sentence. The last two sentences use anthropomorphic method to write the scene that the rooster dawns in the early morning. The combination of motion and static and the artistic technique of poetry make the two sentences have a strong contrast and establish the image of the rooster, which shows the virtue and authority of the rooster.
This poem depicts the power of the rooster and writes its nobleness. Show the expression, temperament and dawn-announcing nature of chickens. It doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but everyone responds when it speaks, thus expressing the poet's thoughts and ambitions. From this poem, we can also see that the poet's writing characteristics of "not avoiding spoken language" are full of children's songs.
