It uses vivid "threading through the forest" sounds and appropriate metaphors to explore the taste of childishness from the perspective of an old man. The scene of children making ice in the poem is full of fun: in terms of mentality, "making ice" in cold weather, children's hearts are hot; in terms of color, "gold" plates and "colorful" silk are strung with "silver" ice; in terms of form, "gold plates" are used The "silver zheng" that came out is round; the sound has the high pitch of "the sound of jade through the forest", and suddenly turns into the crispness of "the sound of broken glass on the ground". The whole poem combines form, color and sound with meaning. It is both beautiful and pleasing to the ear, and vividly expresses the joy of children enjoying themselves with ice. The whole poem highlights the word "childish". Childishness and fun can make children forget the coldness of winter and keep them as energetic and cheerful as ever. Happiness. Children and the elderly have many similarities in their psychological characteristics. Only because of this, the scene of children "playing off the ice" has a sense of dependence in the eyes of the elderly. As the basis of aesthetics, Yang Wanli transformed childlike interest into poetic interest through the technique of "taking childishness as old age". On the one hand, he described the details of "taking off ice" based on the psychology of a child; on the other hand, he felt and appreciated based on the psychology of the world. The details of his behavior make the child's childishness and the old man's "innocence" complement each other, blending into the rich poetry in the pen. Only the poet respects the child's innocence from the heart, so that the child's interest in playing ice can be described so truly and heartily.
