The punctuation marks in modern Chinese are generally two periods, but the common sense of ancient poetry thinks it is four sentences.
2, the original poem:
Draw a chicken
Tang Yin
The red crown on the head doesn't need to be specially cut, and the cock is white and feathered.
It didn't dare to cry all its life. When it was called, the door of every family was opened.
3. Translation:
Its head is bright red as safflower, and its hat in full bloom is naturally uncut. This is a white chicken, so it is covered with snow. He never dared to talk casually in his life, but when he shouted, thousands of families opened their doors and windows.
4. Appreciate:
Tang Bohu said, "This is my white chicken." "You don't have to cut the red crown on your head. You will walk in white in the future. I have never dared to speak lightly in my life, and I have called thousands of households to open it. " He seems to be talking about himself again. He said, my beautiful and natural crown is like a hat on the head of a big official. I'm walking slowly towards you with snow-white feathers. Usually I don't talk casually, because I am the messenger of time. Once I speak, you will start a new day!
Red crown, a hat worn by officials at that time; My red crown, I planted it myself. All white, because I come from winter; "Going to the future" is an auxiliary word, coming to you; I came to you with winter snow! Therefore, because of my great responsibility, I can't speak casually day and night, because when I open my mouth, I am in charge of the world; As soon as I speak, I'll tell you, it's dawn, get up, the emperor is no exception, the chief executive is no exception, the rich are no exception, and the people are no exception. Everyone should get up. ...
Judging from the whole poem, the author uses description and color contrast in the first and second sentences. This is a feature of ancient poets writing poems. The "red crown on the head" in the first sentence describes the red crown on the rooster's head, and the "covered with snow" in the second sentence describes the white feathers of the rooster from the whole body. Clear, from partial to comprehensive; With a large area of white (rooster) and the red crown on the rooster's head, the color contrast is strong, and you can imagine the majestic posture of the rooster coming towards us. The third and fourth sentences tell another profound truth. Turning to the sentence "Stand up and don't dare to speak out of turn", the poet's poetic path takes a sharp turn, saying that roosters dare not crow casually all their lives. This sentence is very low-key, especially the word "dare not", which is the most difficult sentence in the whole poem and lays an irreplaceable foundation for the conclusion of the fourth sentence. When we read "one call for thousands of households to open", we suddenly realized that it was the first one. The third and fourth sentences also use the artistic technique of poetry, which makes the two sentences form a strong contrast.
Therefore, the whole poem is done in one go, which is more atmospheric and sophisticated in artistic techniques. First, the colors of big white and big red are in sharp contrast; After that, the momentum was strong. In the emotional expression of poetry, the four sentences are "release, release" respectively. Receiving and releasing. "To write a bold poem, the most difficult thing is how to arrange words with emotional convergence, and compare them with bold words to improve the bold effect.
