2. Vernacular Translation
It is a sunny day after the rain, the wind is gentle and the sun is bright, and the rain evaporates without a trace. The river channel of the creek was full of water, and the banks were covered with green weeds and gorgeous wild flowers in bloom. A shepherd boy was lying in the shade of a willow, sleeping sweetly. But the cow just grazed, farther and farther away, until it reached the west of the willow forest.
3. Literary Appreciation
The language of this poem is easy to understand. The first sentence is written simply, "When the sun is clear, the wind is clear, the rain is dry," it points out a sunny day. The first clear day after the rain, the sun is bright and the wind is flowing. The water on the ground is being evaporated by the sun and blown dry by the wind. It rains and sunny, the weather is smooth, and it is a good time for agricultural production. The nature shown in the whole sentence is not dead but flowing.
"The embankment is full of grass and flowers, and the stream is full of water." Under such good climate conditions, the creek is filled with rainwater, and the water surface is flush with the embankment. It is appropriate to use the word "full" for this scene. It is not surprising that the word "man" is used to describe the flourishing of flowers and grass on the embankment, but "man" is used as a verb here, as if the grass consciously decorates the embankment, which is vivid and interesting. This kind of "flower embankment" is a good place for grazing cattle.
The poet's eyes discovered that "the boy was sleeping in the shade of the willow tree", and the boy was sleeping soundly under the shade of the willow tree. In terms of the rhythm of the poem, the third sentence is a pause. The first two sentences describe the natural scenery, which is full of vitality and dynamics. However, when it comes to the most vital person (also a lively and lovely child), he is fast asleep and motionless. The brisk poetry rhythm seems to stop here and slow down. However, the emotional frustration is to introduce the fourth sentence, "A cow has eaten Liu Yinxi."
Where is the boy's cow? The cow was eating and had moved to the west of Liuyin. Because of the peaceful and still sleep of the shepherd boy, the cow can graze freely and move leisurely. The painting comes alive again due to the movement of the cows. It's so quiet and moving, harmonious and natural. Here, the expressions of the cowherd boy and the cow are vividly painted, full of life.
