Appreciation of "Selling Charcoal Weng": The whole poem describes the reality that ordinary people are wantonly exploited by the exploiting classes, exposes the darkness of society at that time, and shows the author's deep sympathy for the working people at the lower level. The first four sentences of this poem describe that the charcoal sold by the charcoal seller is hard-won by "cutting wages and burning charcoal", summarize the complicated working procedures and long labor process, and draw a vivid portrait of the charcoal seller. I also got the image of "the middle of Nanshan" to guide the workplace. This "Nanshan" is the Zhongnan Mountain in Wang Wei's "Where to stay overnight and call the woodcutter in Jiang Lai". In this environment, there are wolves and no one. In this environment, Dai Yue flies in Dai Yue, where the frost and snow are mixed. He "cuts his salary" one by one, and "burns charcoal" one kiln after another. It is easy to burn "more than a thousand kilograms", which distinguishes him from charcoal sellers. The genius of the poet lies in not introducing the family economic situation of the charcoal seller to the reader himself, but setting it as a question and answer: "What is the business of selling charcoal?" Wear clothes and eat in your mouth. Author: Bai Juyi. Year: Tang Dynasty.
We will introduce the charcoal seller to you in detail from the following aspects:
First, the full text of "Selling Charcoal Weng"
An old man selling charcoal cuts wood and burns charcoal in the mountains in the south all year round.
His face was covered with dust, which was the color of smoke burning, his temples were gray, and his ten fingers were burnt black.
What is the money for selling charcoal for? Buy clothes, buy food in your mouth.
Pity that he is wearing thin clothes, but he is worried that charcoal can't be sold, hoping it will be colder.
At night, it snowed a foot thick outside the city. Early in the morning, the old man drove a charcoal wheel to the market.
Cows are tired and people are hungry, but the sun has risen very high. They are resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market.
Who is that proud man riding on two horses? It was the eunuchs in the palace and eunuchs who did it.
The eunuch, with documents in his hand and the emperor's orders in his mouth, shouted at the petrified palace.
A load of charcoal, more than 1000 Jin,
The palace envoy drives the general. Half a horse's red yarn, a foot's silk,
Tie a cow's head with charcoal.

Third, appreciate
The whole poem describes the reality that ordinary people bear the wanton exploitation of the exploiting class, exposes the darkness of society at that time, and shows the author's deep sympathy for the working people at the lower level. The first four sentences of this poem are difficult to write about selling charcoal. "Reducing salary and burning charcoal" summarizes the complicated working procedures and the long labor process. "His face is covered with dust and fireworks, his temples are gray and his fingers are black." He vividly described the portrait of the charcoal seller, wrote the hardships of labor, and also got the image performance. "In Nanshan" highlights the workplace. This "Nanshan" is the Zhongnan Mountain described by Wang Wei as "there is no door to stay at night and call the woodcutter in Jiang Lai", where jackals haunt and are desolate. In such an environment, the cornices in Dai Yue are covered with frost and snow, one by one, the salary is reduced, and one kiln is burning charcoal. It is easy to burn "more than a thousand kilograms", and every kilogram is filled with painstaking efforts and condensed with hope. Writing to a charcoal seller is the result of his efforts, which distinguishes him from charcoal sellers. The genius of the poet lies in that he did not personally introduce the family economic situation of the charcoal seller to the readers, but set it as a question and answer: "What is the business of selling charcoal to sell money?" Wear clothes and eat in your mouth. "This question and answer, not only turned the board into a living thing, but also made the literary situation ups and downs, swaying, expanding the depth and breadth of reflecting the sufferings of the people, so that readers can clearly see that this laborer has been exploited, and there is no other source of food and clothing. I also hope that thousands of kilograms of charcoal that I have worked so hard to burn can fetch a good price. This laid a solid foundation for later writing the crime of imperial envoys plundering charcoal. " The poor man's clothes are simple. He is worried about charcoal and hopes it is cold. "This is a well-known sentence." The clothes on my body are only single, so I naturally hope to be warm. Charcoal sellers put all their hopes of solving food and clothing on "selling charcoal to make money", so they "worry about charcoal and wish for cold" and hope it will be colder when they are shivering with cold. The poet deeply understood the difficult situation and complicated inner activities of the charcoal seller, and showed it so vividly in just a dozen words, and poured infinite sympathy with the word "pity", which made people cry. These two poems are a bridge from the first half to the second half in terms of composition. "Worrying about charcoal and looking forward to the cold" is actually looking forward to the cold wind and heavy snow. "A foot of snow came out of the city at night", and the heavy snow finally came! It will no longer "worry about charcoal"! In order to keep warm, the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen at the foot of the son of heaven will not haggle over the trivial price of charcoal. When the charcoal seller "runs on the ice in a charcoal cart", what occupies his whole heart is not complaining about how difficult the icy road is, but thinking about how much money a cart of charcoal can sell and how much clothes and food he can get. The poet didn't write a word, because he opened a vast imaginary world for readers in front. The charcoal seller finally burned a car full of charcoal, hoping for a snow and money for food and clothing along the way, but he met a "palace envoy" who paid lip service but failed to deliver. In front of the emissaries of the palace, the documents and decrees of the emperor, and following the voice of "cursing cows", everything planned and hoped by charcoal sellers in the long process from "reducing wages", "burning charcoal", "wishing the weather is cold", "driving charcoal carts", "rolling ice trails" to "lying mud" came to nothing. From "Nanshan Middle School" to Chang 'an City, the road is so far and difficult to walk. When the charcoal seller "rested in the mud outside the south gate", it was already "the cows were trapped and the people were hungry"; Now it's "going back to the car and scolding the cows for taking them north" and sending charcoal to the palace. Of course, cows are more sleepy and people are more hungry. So, when the charcoal seller goes back to Zhong Nanshan hungry, what will he think and how will he live in the future? All this is not written by the poet, but what readers can't help thinking. When thinking about all this, we can't help but sympathize with the experience of charcoal sellers and hate the sins of rulers. The original intention of the poet to create Miyagi has achieved the expected results. This poem has profound ideological content and artistic characteristics. As far as the whole poem is concerned, the burning of the fire of hope in front is precisely to set off the sadness and pain of hope behind. Unlike some articles in Fifty Poems of New Yuefu, this poem came to an abrupt end in the climax of contradictions and conflicts, so it is more subtle, powerful, thought-provoking and gripping. It is no accident that this poem has been told by thousands of people for thousands of years.
