Ode to Goose: King Luo Bin of Tang Dynasty
White swan, white swan, bend your neck and breathe fire into the sky.
White feathers, floating in green water; The red soles of the feet stir the clear water.
Goose, goose, facing the blue sky, a group of geese are singing with bent necks. White feathers, floating on the green water. The red soles of the feet stirred the clear water waves.
Luo, Yu, Yang Jiong and Lu, poets in the early Tang Dynasty, were also called "four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty".
According to legend, this poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Luo when he was a teenager. It shows us a picture of wild geese swimming in the water, with images, sounds, colors and dynamics, giving people a very real feeling. Learning this poem can be understood according to the idea of image → sound → color → dynamic: vivid image.
At the beginning of the poem, the repeated "goose, goose, goose" highlights the object of description. Goose is big and healthy among birds, especially its long neck is unique, so the poet grasps this feature and highlights the "curve" of goose-the long neck of goose is not bent because of singing, which makes the image more vivid and lovely. The voice is loud and clear. It also expresses the poet's love for geese and enhances the emotional effect.
