Original text of "Shepherd Boy":
Author: Lu Yan
The grass spreads across the field for six or seven miles, and the flute plays three or four sounds in the evening breeze.
After returning home and having a good meal, I lie down under the moonlight without taking off my coir raincoat.
Translation of "Shepherd Boy":
Green grass, vast wilderness, endless as far as the eye can see. The sound of the flute came intermittently in the evening wind, melodious and sweet. The shepherd boy returns from grazing herds at dusk after a full meal. He didn't even take off his raincoat, he just lay happily on the grass and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Through the poem, we also see the author's inner yearning for a peaceful and peaceful life away from the hustle and bustle: a vast wilderness with green grass; the evening wind blows the weeds, and the shepherd boy who has not yet seen the return is heard first.

The word "Pu" expresses the lushness of grass and the gentle and comfortable feeling that grassland gives people.
The word "Nong" expresses a kind of interest, conveying the intermittent melodious and elegant sound of the flute in the wind and the meaning of the shepherd boy playing the flute.
Here, six or seven miles and three or four tones do not refer to definite numbers but to highlight the evening silence of the vast countryside in the wilderness.
