Li Shen, the author of Benjamin Lennon? Tang dynasty.
In spring, as long as you sow a seed, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn.
There is no waste of heaven and earth, and the toiling peasants are still starving to death.
At noon in summer, the sun is very hot, farmers are still working, and beads are dripping into the soil.
Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard?
Translation:
As long as a seed is sown in spring, a lot of food can be harvested in autumn. In all parts of the world, no field is uncultivated and uncultivated, and hard-working farmers will still starve to death. At noon in midsummer, when the sun was shining, farmers were still working and sweat dripped into the soil. Who would have thought that the rice in our bowl was full of the blood and sweat of farmers?
Appreciate:
At the beginning of the first song, the bumper harvest is described concretely and vividly by turning "one millet" into "ten thousand seeds", and the farmers' labor is praised by "sowing" and "harvesting". "There are no idle fields in the four seas, and farmers still starve to death." The last two sentences of the poem say that all over the world, no piece of land is uncultivated and uncultivated, and hard-working farmers will still starve to death.
By extension, the third sentence describes that within the four seas, wasteland becomes fertile land. This is linked with the first two sentences, which constitutes a fruitful scene everywhere.
"Full" is for stronger "Mao". The progressive brushwork of the poet's first three sentences shows the great contribution and infinite creativity of the working people, making the following knot more dignified and painful. So what if there is a bumper harvest? "Farmers still starve to death" not only makes the content coherent, but also highlights the problem.
Two Poems for Peasants is a set of poems by Li Shen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This group of poems profoundly reflects the living conditions of farmers in feudal China. The first poem vividly depicts the fruitful scenes everywhere, highlighting the realistic problem that farmers have worked hard to get a bumper harvest but starved to death empty-handed.
The second song describes the scene of working in farmers' fields at noon in the scorching sun, and summarizes the hard work life of farmers all year round. Finally, he expressed the poet's sincere sympathy for the peasants with a motto close to the meaning. The poetry anthology selected typical life details and well-known facts, and concentrated on describing the social contradictions at that time.
The style is simple and heavy, the language is popular and simple, the syllables are harmonious and bright, and the combination of reality and reality enhances the expressive force of the poem.
