He is a shoemaker, and his main achievements are drama and poetry. He improved craftsmen's poems and developed medieval religious dramas into satirical dramas reflecting people's lives. Most of these plays are based on folk stories, and the objects described are citizens, farmers, slaves, knights, tramps and so on. His works are vivid and humorous, and they are loved by the people at that time in both content and form. However, his life is narrow, he is satisfied with the existing social system and is limited to appealing to the interests of the citizens.
Earlier, il trovatore walked up and down the court, singing songs, praising the spirit of riding the earth and praising the ideal women. Famous folk singers, although formally extended to il trovatore, changed the focus of their singing content to religious issues, passed down in the form of mentoring, fixed in a city, and stopped running around.
Nuremberg, a city in Germany, is the base camp of famous singers. If the craftsmen there want to be promoted to the boss, they must not only pass the test of technology, but also attach great importance to singing. The oldest famous singers believe that their songs are produced on the basis of learning seven subjects, such as grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. Only those with such high academic qualifications are qualified to be the boss of all walks of life. The order of their promotion is from the trainee with the lowest level, then the apprentice, the poet and finally the master.
Later, famous singers fell into formalism, and their songs were mainly vulgar works. It is said that around 154O, there were as many as 250 members of such trade unions in Nuremberg. Later, there were too many masters, only caught in a contest of skills and gradually lost the fragrance of art. Just then, the protagonist Hans in Wagner's The Famous Singer of Nuremberg? The saxophone (1494- 1576) appeared. This is Martin? During Luther's Reformation, people began to shout about human dignity. It is said that Schacks wrote 6,000 poems, most of which used current events and myths to introduce a brand-new style to the world of famous singers at that time.
His works include:
Rats and frogs
One day, a mouse was sitting by the river. She is thinking about how to get to the other side.
"Well," she sighed, "I can't swim so far."
At this time, a frog happened to be in the shallow water not far away, and what the mouse said was heard by him. He swam to the shore and said, "I can cross you safely."
The mouse believed his words and readily agreed. At this time, the frog found a rope, tied one end to himself and the other end to the mouse's tail, and then jumped into the water himself; When he dragged the mouse in the river for a while and suddenly dived into the water, the mouse had to follow him to the depths of the river. "Help!" Then she couldn't help crying. "Do you want to drown me? How can you do such a treacherous thing to me! "
However, the frog replied, "As the saying goes, there is treachery behind sweet words. Why aren't you careful? "
At this moment, a white crane flew in and saw the mouse struggling in the water. He dived down, grabbed her and took her back to his nest with the frog. But he didn't see the frog at all when he caught the mouse; He found him when he returned to his nest and said, "How did you get caught?"
"Well," replied the frog, "what goes around comes around. I want to make the mouse unlucky and drown her; But now even I am in trouble. "
"Yes, you deserve it," said the crane, opening his mouth and swallowing the faithless frog.
I set a trap for others and fell myself.
