Author: Li Shen years: Tang Dynasty
At noon in summer, the sun is very hot, farmers are still working, and beads are dripping into the soil.
Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard?
Appreciate:
This poem is about the hardships of labor, and the fruits of labor are hard to come by. The first and second sentences, "When weeding at noon, sweat drips down the soil", depict farmers still working in the fields under the scorching sun at noon. These two poems choose a specific scene and vividly describe the hardships of labor. With these two specific descriptions, the sighs and warnings in the third and fourth sentences, "Who knows that every grain is hard", are freed from the empty and abstract preaching and become flesh-and-blood and far-reaching proverbs.
This poem doesn't start with specific people and things. It reflects not the personal experience, but the life and destiny of the whole peasant. The poet chose typical details of life and well-known facts, and profoundly exposed the unreasonable social system. In terms of expression, the author tells people to save food and not waste it. The author adopts the method of contrast and contrast, which not only gives people a clear and strong impression, but also makes people think deeply, leaving the problem to readers to think for themselves, thus achieving better results.
