Translation

"The mountains are dark and cloudy, and the weather is cold and rainy. Several branches are bright and wet, crying red. The clouds are dense, the mountains are dark, and the world is drizzling. On the flowers, the water vapor condenses into glittering and translucent water droplets, like a girl with tears in her eyes, which is very loving. The author took such a close-up shot and painted an idyllic landscape very vividly. Don't be sad for the flowers, for the east wind. "Don't be full of sorrow and worry because the ups and downs are destroying the beautiful flowers, and be disease-free. "The bamboo hat is facing out, and the ditch is everywhere. "The farmers wearing hats get out early every morning, and their footprints have covered muddy ditches and ridges in the fields. "Hard work on earth means agriculture, countryside and farmers." Spring ploughing, spring planting and autumn harvest are the three hardest seasons for farmers in a year. "To get a plow full of water, hope in abundance. Farmers have worked hard all year round, plowed through the fields and filled them with water, hoping for a bumper harvest! They have no leisure to enjoy, pity and cherish flowers.

Appreciating

the traditional concept of division of labor and keeping one's own territory in poetry has a profound influence on the creation of Song Ci. Common themes in Song poetry, such as "Tian Jia Yu", "Tian Fu Tan" and "Song of transplanting rice seedlings", are rarely involved in Song ci. This word describes the working life of farmers, showing simple and uplifting feelings that are connected with them quietly, so it is worth cherishing. The first film starts with the scenery: the mountains are dark, the clouds are dense, and the cold rain is coming. After always writing about the environment and weather, I gathered up my pen, talked about the close-up, and saw several beautiful flowers that condensed water drops and were pitiful. If you go down the river, you should write your heart and express your feelings around "crying red", which is the proper meaning of the pen. But in the next two sentences, I advise poets not to cherish flowers, and not to be depressed and worried. It can be said that the pen is flexible and refined. The next film is opened again, and the brush strokes are extended to the fields and buildings, and the words "facing out" and "connecting everywhere" are compared, which concisely outlines the life of farmers who do not avoid the wind and rain and work all the year round. This leads to the sigh that "hard work on earth is three rural issues". "Agriculture, countryside and farmers" refers to spring ploughing, summer sowing and autumn harvest. A bumper harvest of grain is the hope of farmers for a year. At this time of heavy rain, people are looking forward to having enough rain to plow. As for cherishing flowers and hurting spring, they have neither the leisure nor the leisure.

Every time when "being cold and deceiving flowers" (in Shi Dazu's "Qiluoxiang" language) and "freezing clouds and gloomy weather" (in Liu Yong's "Night Half Music" language), literati often feel excited by things and express their pity. These works, generally, are also things and people, and they have also merged into a piece of Wang Yang in Song Ci. Although there are profound and floating differences, it also has its own value. However, it is the same feature of most of his chapters that he is obsessed with personal experiences and confined to a narrow world. This song "Nankezi" is different. The beautiful and red cries that are about to fall because of the wind and rain, and the farmers who have been working in the fields all the year round and are looking forward to the rain at the moment, are put on both ends of the author's emotional balance by witnessing or associating.

it's not the old tune of * * *, but a new sound with a different approach. The author's eyes are not constrained by his narrow self, and his emotional world is relatively open. Sweep Chen Si, with good intentions.

Su Shi, Xin Qiji, etc. have also written some ci poems describing rural life, and they have also devoted themselves to loving the countryside and caring about farming. Their works are often like folk paintings, such as a set of Huanxisha (five poems such as "Seeing Fish in a Deep Red Sun") written by Su Shi in Xuzhou Prefecture, and Qing Pingle by Xin Qiji. The brushwork of Village Residence is more nuanced. Wang Yan's first poem shows different characteristics. The author's feelings are mainly not cast in the picture, but rather focused on the direct expression of cognition, which is more rational. Therefore, when writing about farmers' lives, such as "the flowers are facing the sun and the furrows are everywhere", they also adopt a more general way, and do not win by depicting pen and ink.

in the song dynasty, there were two Wang Yan, both of whom had poems handed down from generation to generation. The author of this article, Uncle Hui, was born in Shuangxi, Wuyuan (now Jiangxi), and was a scholar in Xiaozong Road for five years. He has a collection of poems in Shuangxi. Its purpose of "not indulging in lust, not wandering in impossibility" and "Preface to the Poems of Shuangxi" is also fully reflected in this simple style of Nan Kezi. This word doesn't use flowery words, and it's not expensive to use things. The following words are also well studied. For example, the gesture of writing flowers in the rain is quite vivid. However, this word also has defects, and the whole language is more simple and less meaningful.
