The ancient poem "The Shepherd Boy" (a poem written by Lv Yan) doesn't have much meaning.

The poem "The Shepherd Boy" shows us a vivid picture of a shepherd boy returning home at night: the vast Yuan Ye is covered with green grass; The evening breeze is blowing the weeds. I haven't seen the shepherd boy come back yet, but I first heard the melodious and approaching flute of the shepherd boy coming from the wind. The flute sounded intermittently and fluttered with the wind. The shepherd boy came back and had a good meal. It's already after dusk. He didn't even take off his hemp fiber, so he lay in the open field to rest on a moonlit night. There are scenes, feelings, characters and voices in the poem. This vivid scene appears in our field of vision from far and near.

2. Text analysis.

(1) "The grass shop is six or seven miles away from the field, and the night wind rings three or four times." Poetry gives us visual and auditory feelings. Looking around, the grass on the vilen is lush; Listen to the flute in the evening breeze. The word "paving" shows the lush grass and the gentle and comfortable feeling of grassland; 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 vastness of grassland paves the way for the appearance of shepherd boy, and the melodious flute makes us imagine the relaxed and leisurely mood of shepherd boy after a day's work. If you don't see the shepherd boy, smell his voice first, giving people unlimited imagination. Of course, 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.

(2) "After returning to a full meal at dusk, don't take off the hemp fiber and lie in the moonlight." After changing a pen, the poet began to write the rest of the stuffed shepherd boy. 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. There is no scene of family gathering, no scene of partners playing, and the full shepherd boy doesn't even take off his hemp fiber and lies on the grass on a moonlit night. Are you tired and want to lie down and stretch? You like the scenery in the moonlight. Do you want to enjoy it? Looking up at the bright moon, what would the shepherd boy think? Or fell asleep without thinking about anything ... the poet seems to have just written down what he saw, but we can't help thinking.

Grassland, flute, moonlit night and shepherd boy, just like a bleak ink painting, make our hearts feel quiet. The poem "The Shepherd Boy" not only makes us feel the peace and tranquility of life, but also makes us feel the freedom and natural relaxation of the shepherd boy's mind. During the day, cows and shepherds are friends, and at night, it's really like living in a paradise. Of course, through poetry, we can also see the author's pursuit of spiritual world, a yearning for a happy life away from the noise.
