Make an appreciative comment
Among all the Tang poems, there are few themes about children, so they are valuable. This poem is divided into two layers: fishing and asking for directions. The first and second sentences focus on writing: fishing, while the third and fourth sentences focus on expressing the spirit: asking for directions.
In the first sentence and the second sentence, "unkempt head" describes the child's appearance and highlights the child's innocence. "hanging theory" means "fishing" in the title, which means fishing The poet did not whitewash the fisherman's appearance, but wrote the true face of Shan Ye's unkempt hair, which made people feel natural, lovely and authentic. "Learning" is the eye of this poem. The child is a beginner in fishing, so he is very careful. The posture of "sitting on the side" when fishing reflects the physical and behavioral scenes, such as in front of you. "Sitting sideways" means sitting down at will. Sitting on the edge, rather than sitting firmly, is in line with the mentality of children learning this way for the first time. It is also conceivable that children are absorbed in fishing in an informal way. "Berry moss" generally refers to low-level plants that grow in wet places near the ground. From Berry Moss, we can not only know that the place where children choose to fish is a place where the sun is scarce and inaccessible, but also an ideal fishing place where fish are not frightened and people are not exposed to the sun, which paves the way for the following sentence "People should not be frightened by fish". "Grass mirror" is not only a portrait of a child, but also directly related to the next sentence "Passers-by ask for directions", because children can be seen.
The subject of the last two sentences "waving from afar" is still a child. When passers-by asked, the children did not dare to answer the fish, waving at a distance and not answering. This is a description of children from two aspects: action and psychology, with calculation, strategy, alertness and intelligence. The reason why children use actions instead of answers is that they are afraid of scaring the fish away. The child's action is "waving from a distance", which shows that the child is not indifferent to the questions of passers-by. How do children whisper to passers-by after "waving"? That's the reader's imagination, and the poet doesn't need to explain it. So after explaining the reason of "waving from afar", this poem came to an abrupt end.
This song "The Four Wonders" is about children fishing. There is no gorgeous color and deliberate carving in the poem, just like a beautiful hibiscus, which reveals a little innocence, infinite childlike interest and a little concentration in the plain and simple narrative.

He jumped into a forest. He looked left, right, east and west. Finally found a treasure trove of geomantic omen-pond. There are many reeds by the pond, and there is a big stone covered with moss. this
