Distinguish and appreciate

The first sentence is about people coming and going on the river bank, which is very lively. The second sentence describes the mentality of people on the shore and reveals the reasons for "communication". The last two sentences convey the line of sight, indicating that the fishing boat is swaying in the wind and waves, and pay attention to the fishing site. Although perch is delicious, it is not easy to catch, which expresses the poet's sympathy for the fishermen's sufferings and deeply exhorts people who love the beauty of perch on the shore. The contrast between "river" and "storm", the contrast between "coming and going" and "Ye Zhou", and the dynamic of "coming and going" show the main idea of the whole poem. [1] Creative background Fan Zhongyan is a politician who advocates innovation. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong was a political adviser and presided over the political reform. He was able to care about the sufferings of ordinary people living in the lower classes of society and wrote some poems sympathetic to the working people, but few of them have been handed down.

There are many rivers and rivers in Jiangnan water town, and fish and shrimp are very rich. Among them, Jiangsu Songjiang four-cheeked bass is the most famous. There is no one who doesn't like this specialty and doesn't want to taste this delicious food. Fan Zhongyan, a native of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, grew up on the edge of Songjiang. I know this situation very well. However, in his poems, he did not only pay attention to the delicacy and admiration of perch, but noticed something more noteworthy. I have noticed the pain and danger of fishermen hidden behind this profession and expressed my deep sympathy.
