Comment
Although it is called "miscellaneous poems", there are only two sentences and seven words at the end of the whole article, and the rest are three words. Three-character Classic is one of the representative works of three-character poems.
*** This miscellaneous poem is almost a vernacular poem, all using common words and sayings. However, there are many warnings with new meanings, such as: "refuse to corrode, never touch"; "Good analysis, great benefit", etc., are all strategically placed words. In addition, the rhyme is extremely vivid, and it is turned at will, leaving no trace. The first ten sentences have a rhyme, which is more obvious; However, from the 11th sentence, it seems to be even and low. Don't harm righteousness by rhyme, don't limit your thinking by sound, like water rushing to the sea, you have your own choice.
as "ode", the main brain is "standing". This poem "eulogizes" the "pine and cypress" spirit of Haobalian, so the whole poem is arranged around the soul. "Will" is "firm", from "firm" to "resisting corrosion and never touching"; "Thought" is "good", from "good" to "being able to analyze is of great benefit"; In particular, eight "no" words are used to draw the "will" firmness of the "Good Eight Company" soldiers in all directions. Only when we are not afraid of all evil things between heaven and earth can we be "like pine and cypress", "like a solid wall" and "like a thunderbolt". At the end of the sentence, it jumped out from the praise of "Good Eight Company", which was half encouragement and half prediction, and launched a poetic strong voice of "the army and the people unite as one person and see who can be enemies in the world". Praise turns into a declaration.
the free atmosphere of poetry is related to the freedom of spirit. * * * has stepped into the realm of freedom from the realm of necessity of philosophy, and his poems in his later years have also tended to be free in form and spirit. This poem is a proof.
