The ancient poems about living by the water are as follows:
1. Shigui sat at the bottom of the short canopy and lived in a stream of clouds and water. Ming Dynasty poet Zheng Mengzhou's "The Fisherman: A man in a coir raincoat fishing by himself"
Those who live a life of "living in the water" must be considered a "fisherman". The "fisherman" is a symbol of the hermit in traditional Chinese culture. The "fisherman" as a symbol of hermit dates back to the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
Not everyone can achieve the greatness of Qu Yuan, and those who are depressed and frustrated cannot be like Qu Yuan, so they settle for the second best, be "fishermen" and live by the water. This poem "The Fisherman: The Man in a Coiled Clothes Fishing by Himself" by Zheng Mengzhou, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, is a typical image of the "fisherman".
2. Mulberry trees are planted on the slopes, and people live in the water. Song Dynasty poet Li Lao's "Leaving the City, Walking on the Shore and Boating Safely"
If we talk about the "water-dwelling" life of the "fisherman", it is actually a life of seclusion, not the life of the general public. The song "Leaving the City and Boating Safely on the Shore" written by the Song Dynasty poet Li Luo is about the real "water-dwelling" life of ordinary people in the Jiangnan water towns, and their "water-dwelling" life from generation to generation.
3. Temporarily live in an empty mountain by the water, with the clear breeze and bright moon accompanying the empty windows. Qing Dynasty poet Zhou Xingui's "Temporary Posting·Temporarily Posting to an Empty Mountain and a Waterside Residence"
The Qing Dynasty poet Zhou Xingui only came to live in a water town temporarily. He looked back on his life and finally hoped that he could settle down in a water town and become a A carefree farmer. This song "Temporary Posting·Temporarily Posting to an Empty Mountain and Living by the Water" is written with sincerity, realness and nature.
4. Most of the people’s homes are among the lotus flowers, with their pillows on the water and the windows facing the wind. Qing Dynasty poet Yao Yijing's "Summer Drama in Lotus Village"
The "water-dwelling" life in the south of the Yangtze River in the poem began in the "Han Yuefu", among which there is "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are lotus leaves in the fields." " is the description of the life of the "lotus-picking" family. This poem "Summer Play in Lotus Village" by the Qing Dynasty poet Yao Yijing makes the "water dwelling" life in the south of the Yangtze River even more dreamlike.
5. There are poplar trees in front of Fanchang County, and firewood gates bloom everywhere by the water. Ming Dynasty poet Tang Guifang's "Reminiscences·Poplar Trees in Front of Fanchang County"
"Fanchang County" is also known as a water town in today's Wuhu City, Anhui Province. This poem "Reminiscing: Poplar Trees in Front of Fanchang County" by Tang Guifang, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, talks about the charm of "water dwelling" life in Fanchang County. It comes from the fireflies flying on the river at night, which makes the poet particularly unforgettable.
