? Riding an ox far beyond the former village, the flute wind smells obliquely across the ridge.
? How many Chang 'an fame and fortune guests, organ failure is not as good as jun.
The main idea of this poem is: the shepherd boy rides an ox and walks far past the village in front. He played the flute, and the melodious flute floated across the ridge and reached his ears. Those people in Chang 'an who seek fame and gain are intrigued and exhausted. It's really not as leisurely as you.
This poem by Huang Tingjian, after describing the shepherd boy riding an ox and playing the flute leisurely, makes a sharp contrast between the shepherd boy and the officialdom. The former is carefree and the latter is exhausted. It is clear at a glance which is right and which is wrong.
This poem is quite interesting and thought-provoking. The first two sentences describe a shepherd boy, riding an ox and playing a flute, which is his favorite image. Many poets have described such a scene. Such as "the shepherd boy goes to cross the cow's back, and the piccolo plays without a cavity" (Song Lei Zhen's Village Night), "The shepherd boy rides the ox, singing and vibrating the forest" (Qingyuan Mei's Seeing), and "The lying cow plays piccolo, which is ploughing the field" (Don Cui Daorong's Ranch). Poets may recall their innocent childhood or express their yearning for a leisurely life through the image of a shepherd boy riding a cow and playing the flute.
The last two sentences are compared with the shepherd boy of "fame and fortune in Chang 'an". The "Chang 'an" here is not a real reference, but as an image, it refers to the capital. As an ancient capital, Chang 'an, especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, reached its peak in politics, economy and culture, and Chang 'an became a sacred place for literati to seek fame and make contributions. Therefore, Chang 'an became a cultural symbol, which appeared in a large number of poems in the Song Dynasty to refer to the capital. As a political center, it is a place where people pursue fame and gain. However, the officialdom is dark, intrigued and exhausted, which is incompatible with the unique temperament of literati. Being in it will make them feel alienated, and they are eager to keep their inner peace and freedom in the noise, so they often express their yearning for seclusion in their poems. The carefree state of the shepherd boy has become the object of praise by poets.
It is worth mentioning that the artistic conception of the poem "The Shepherd Boy" by Qi Chan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, is similar to this poem: "Cattle can gallop freely, and spring breeze and drizzle are flying. In the green hills and spring grass, a flute and a hemp fiber are made at sunrise, and the moonlight caresses the palm. Anyone like you is nothing. " How many people can ride cows, play flutes, sing freely and clap their hands freely in the spring breeze and drizzle, in the alternation of the sun and the moon?
