Poetry appreciation
Shao Yong's life works are extraordinary, and this poem "Singing to the Mountain Village" has become a classic poem and a must-read poem for generations of China people to enlighten their children. The whole poem has only 20 words and 10 numbers, and only a few strokes are used to outline a natural, simple and hazy pastoral scenery.
Ten Chinese characters representing numbers from one to ten are woven together with paths, smoke, villages, pavilions, flowers and plants in natural numerical order. With the natural arrangement of poems and paintings, a natural, simple and hazy mountain village landscape painting is formed with only a few strokes, which naturally blends into the artistic conception of the mountain village. It is witty, easy to understand, easy to read and spread.
