The genre of "Nixi" - five character arrangement
Era: Tang Dynasty
Author: Wang Bo
The guest's heart hangs on Long Road , The wanderer is tired of Jianggan. Jinfeng is quiet in the morning, but Xiaomi is cold at night.
Don’t regret when the sound of the piano disappears, and the scenery stays in joy. Ning feels that the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is hard to think about the long journey.
Appreciation of "Nixi":
Wang Bo often touches on the suffering of working people in his poetry creation. His five-character poem "Nixi" wrote about the suffering of the working people and expressed his deep sympathy for the suffering of the working people. The poet led his horse up the fork in the mountain, facing the river waves, peaks, water patterns, Zhuzhu, dewdrops, etc., and expressed this emotion: "Although the clouds are beautiful over the water, who knows the songs of labor?" Although it is a beautiful thing to wander on the river and ride horses in the mountains, no one can understand the sad songs of tiredness and hunger sung by the boatmen and horsemen. The poet's feeling of shame, his deep sympathy for the working people and his grievance for the suffering of the working people are all expressed without reservation in these two lines of poetry. Although the description of the suffering of the working people here remains on the surface, in the initially prosperous society of the early Tang Dynasty, the author saw this extremely unreasonable reality hidden behind the superficial prosperity, and used the form of poetry to describe it. Reflecting it truthfully just proves Wang Bo's superiority. This is a typical example of the poet looking down and reaching out to the lower class people.
