Through this painting, we can see the author's pursuit and yearning for a quiet and peaceful life.
Appreciation of works:
This poem vividly shows a picture of a shepherd boy returning home at night: Yuan Ye, green grass, flute, shepherd boy, hemp fiber and bright moon. There are scenes, feelings, characters and voices in the poem, and this vivid scene appears in the poet's field of vision from far and near; It is a short song praising labor, describing the tranquility of rural life and the hard work of herding children. Grassland, flute, moonlit night and shepherd boy, like a bleak ink painting, make readers feel peaceful.
The first sentence, "the grass shop is six or seven miles across the field", describes the visual experience. Looking around, the grass on the vilen is lush. The word "pave" shows the lush grass and the gentle and comfortable feeling of grassland. The vastness of grassland paved the way for the emergence of shepherd boy.
The second sentence, "The flute makes the evening wind ring three or four times." Described the feeling of hearing, listening to the ears and the shepherd's flute in the evening wind. The word "Nong" shows a kind of interest, conveying the intermittent and melodious flute sound in the wind and the meaning of the shepherd boy playing the flute. The melodious flute sound reflects the relaxed mood of the shepherd boy after a day's work. If you don't see the shepherd boy, you can smell his voice first, which has unlimited imagination. The "six or seven miles" and "three or four sounds" here are not exact figures, just to highlight the vastness of Yuan Ye and the silence of the countryside in the evening.
In the third sentence, "Come back at dusk and have a good meal", the poet turned to writing and began to describe the shepherd boy directly. The shepherd boy had a hearty meal, and it was after dusk.
The fourth sentence, "Lying on the moon without taking off the hemp fiber", describes the scene of a shepherd boy resting. A shepherd boy with the earth as his bed and the sky as his account, who eats when he is hungry and sleeps when he is sleepy, has no attachments and is free. The poet did not describe what the shepherd boy did after lying down. The shepherd boy may want to stretch himself or enjoy the moonlight. The poet seems to have only written down what he saw, but he has unlimited imagination.
The poem "The Shepherd Boy" not only makes readers feel the peace and tranquility of life, but also makes readers feel the freedom and natural relaxation of the shepherd boy's mind. This poem reflects the poet's pursuit of the spiritual world and his yearning for a life far from the noise and contentment. This poem shows the leisure of a shepherd boy's life. This poem gently persuades Zhong You to leave the officialdom of intrigue and fame and fortune as soon as possible, return to the countryside, and live a life like a shepherd boy. In this poem, the shepherd boy appears as the incarnation of a wise man, guiding Zhong You who is lost in his official career, but he may not really be a shepherd boy. The language of this poem is straightforward and fresh, and the words are clear, showing a kind of exquisite kung fu of "meticulous work without traces".
Creative background:
