Creation background

The Southern Song Dynasty was partial to Hangzhou. The new city is located in the north of Hangzhou, the capital city, with a prosperous style of writing, on the main road connecting the north and the south; Wine-making is also very popular and is the center of wine-making in Song Dynasty. The government set up a wine tax official in Xincheng, with Zhu Shu, the son of Zhu, as the post. Yang Wanli was infatuated with the restaurant in the west estuary of Xincheng, and was drunk because he opened a Xugong store in Xincheng.

Distinguish and appreciate

The first poem is about the spring scenery and wicker in restaurants, and the country songs and dances in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Yang Wanli, a native of Jishui (now Jiangxi), was a heavy drinker all his life. At this time, he is in a new city and a foreign land. As a drinking buddy, naturally start from the restaurant; As a guest, naturally observe the local customs first. This poem is far less than the second poem in the group poem, but the author's leisurely mood in this poem has laid the emotional tone for the group poem. The scene provided by the second poem is only an external reflection of the author's mood.

The second song is widely circulated. This is a poem describing the pastoral scenery in late spring, depicting a scene full of spring. The first two sentences, "The hedge is sparse all the way, and the flowers at the top of the tree are not shaded", point out the happy and naive background of children catching butterflies. There are sparse fences and deep paths on the map, and there are several trees beside the fence. Petals are falling from the branches, the tender leaves have not yet grown, and the spring is full. Fences and paths point out that this is the countryside; "Flowers fall before they turn cloudy" and "cauliflower" in the sentence indicate that it is late spring season. The last two sentences, "Children chase after Huang Die and fly into cauliflower, and there is nowhere to be found", turn the crayon to the center of the picture and depict the happy scene of children catching butterflies. "Catch up" and "catch up" mean to run fast and catch up quickly. These two verbs are very vivid, vividly depicting children's innocent and lively, curious and competitive manner and psychology. And "flying into cauliflower is nowhere to be found" will suddenly turn the moving lens into stillness. The word "nowhere to be found" leaves readers room for imagination and aftertaste, as if a child who is at a loss in the face of golden cauliflower emerges in front of him. The first two sentences about rural scenery are static descriptions; The last two sentences about children and butterflies are dynamic descriptions. In addition to the combination of static and dynamic writing, this poem also uses the technique of line drawing, which is natural and vivid. Yang Wanli, an honest official, was once hated by traitors. After being removed from office, he lived in a village for a long time. He is very familiar with rural life, and his description of nature is very touching and interesting.
