Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, with lotus leaves in the lotus, lotus leaves in the east, lotus leaves in the west, lotus leaves in the south and lotus leaves in the north.
Jiangnan is a water town, and the growth of lotus is extremely common. Every July and August in the summer calendar, when the lotus seeds are ripe, the girls paddle the boat, swim between the blue lotus and the lotus, sing and pick. This lotus picking song artistically reproduces the scene of girls' labor.
The first two sentences describe that the girls saw pieces of green lotus leaves connected on the water at a distance, and their hearts were filled with infinite joy, so that they could not help but express their warm admiration. "gram" here means "just right" "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River" says that lotus is everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really a good place to pick lotus. "He" means "How", "Tian Tian" describes how tall and connected he is, and "He Tian Tian with lotus leaves" refers to how big the lotus leaves are in Tian Tian! This is a tone of extreme praise for the lotus leaf. After reading this, we can't help but think of the picture that "the lotus leaves are infinitely bright the next day, and the lotus flowers reflect sunlight in different colors". Yes, with such warm green leaves, there must be a warm lotus that blooms in summer; Now the lotus leaves picked by girls must be huge. Broken, the lotus seeds are round, and the girls' cheerful mood is naturally beyond words.
The third sentence says that when the girls are picking lotus leaves, they will definitely find another beautiful scenery underwater-"fish playing among the lotus leaves." "Fish frolicking among the lotus leaves" describes the fish swimming around in the shadow of the lotus leaves, just like playing games. The word "play" describes the pattern of fish swimming leisurely for a while and then swimming again. On the surface, it describes the beautiful fish in the water, but in fact it adopts the artistic technique of "comparison" in the Book of Songs, and it is also about lotus pickers. Imagine, girls rowing in the lotus leaves, chasing and playing with each other, just like fish swimming in the lotus leaves. They are skilled in rowing, fast in speed, light in posture and cheerful. Is it as beautiful and free as a fish in the water?
The last four sentences are described in the Book of Songs in the form of "overlapping". In the same sentence, only the words "east, west, north and south" were changed, and repeated singing described the moving picture of fish swimming around the lotus leaf for a long time. Because this poem is a song of harmony in Han Yuefu, that is, one person sings the harmony of all people, so these four sentences are the songs of harmony of all people, and the joyful play of fish sung repeatedly shows the lively scene when picking lotus flowers, which makes people feel the happy feelings of the girls.
After reading this article, close your eyes and let us feel the artistic conception of this poem: under the blue sky, in summer and autumn, the clear lake of fish reflects the green lotus leaves, and there may be late-blooming lotus flowers, beautiful girl clothes and flowery smiles; They laughed and rowed, rowed boats, picked lotus leaves and sang lotus songs; Also, if we take a deep breath, it seems that we can smell the fragrance, it must be the fragrance of lotus leaves and lotus leaves ... what a touching song of picking lotus in Jiangnan, what a charming picture of Jiangnan!
