Tang mengjiao
A thread in the hands of a kind mother? Make clothes for her wayward son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?
I. Translation
The needle and thread in the wandering mother's hand is to make clothes for her long-distance son.
Before leaving, he sewed a needle tightly for fear that his son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who says that children who are weak and filial as grass can repay the kindness of loving mothers like Chunhui Puze?
Second, the creative background
1, Wandering Meng Jiao drifted in his early years and was poor all his life. It was not until he was fifty years old that he got a humble job as a county magistrate in Liyang, ending his long-term wandering life and living with his mother. This poem was written at this time. Naturally, the poet didn't take such a small official to heart, and he still only looked at the scenery and sang hymns, but no one asked about his official duties. The county magistrate only gave him half a salary. Under this heading, the author notes that "Mu Ying Li Shang Zuo" is his work when he lived in Liyang. In the poem, an ordinary and great beauty of human nature, maternal love, is sung affectionately and truly, which has aroused the admiration of countless readers and won popularity for thousands of years.
2. The poet was frustrated in his career and experienced the coldness of the world. At this time, he felt the value of his family more and more, so he wrote this touching poem praising his mother. The affection of loving mother is shown in trivial life. I was worried that my son would not be able to go home for a long time, so I sewed a stitch and a thread, carefully and densely, and sewed love and care on the clothes of the wanderer.
