Extended data writing background:
"On the Pool" is a five-character quatrain written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The first one is about a monk playing a game, and the second one is about a child stealing white lotus. This group of poems is also a reflection of his own mentality. The poet wrote two lovely, amiable, credible and charming scenes in a popular style.
According to the collation of Bai Juyi's poems, this poem was written in the ninth year of Daiwa (835), when Prince Shaofu was building his capital in Luoyang. One day when I was swimming by the pool, I saw a monk playing chess and a baby punting and wrote this group of poems.
In the poem, the poet narrated a little thing in a little doll's life, accurately captured the little doll's instant mood and drew a picture of picking lotus flowers. In the summer when the lotus is in full bloom, innocent and lively children paddle boats and secretly go to the pool to pick Bai Lianhua to play. I picked the lotus in high spirits, and I have long forgotten that I left quietly. I didn't tell the adults, and I didn't know or expected to hide my tracks.
I came back with my boat swaggering, and the boat gently shook the duckweed on the water, leaving clear and obvious traces of the waterway. The poet described the little doll in his poems with his unique popular style, which was very lovely and amiable. The whole poem is like vernacular, full of charm.
Bai Juyi's philosophy of "poverty and loneliness" was mostly embodied in a "leisurely life" in his later years. In 844, 73-year-old Bai Juyi funded the excavation of the stone beach around Longmen, and after the completion of the work, he wrote a poem "Two Stone Beaches in the Eighth Section of Longmen" as a souvenir, which still embodies his outlook on life of "helping the world and achieving the goal".
Bai Juyi spent most of his later years in Luoyang, singing with Liu Yuxi and often traveling in Longmen. Self-report "Chapter on the Pool" and "Biography of Mr. Drunk Sound". In 845, 74-year-old Bai Juyi still held the "seven old Meeting" in Ludi, attended by Gao Hu, Ji Jiao, Zheng Zhi, Serina Liu, Lu Zhen, Zhang and Bai Juyi. In the summer of the same year, Li Ruman, a monk from seven old, joined forces to draw a picture of Nine Old Pictures. Bai Juyi believed in Buddhism in his later years and was named a Buddhist in Xiangshan. He is a disciple of the monk Ruman.
Bai Juyi was a great poet with great influence in the middle Tang Dynasty. His poetic thoughts and creations, which emphasize popularity and realism, occupy an important position in the history of China's poetry. In Jiu Shu Tong Yuan, he clearly said: "Servants aim to help the two, and they are independent. Always serve the Tao, and invent poetry.
Satirical poems are also helpful to ambition; It's called leisure poetry, which is not bad. "It can be seen that among Bai Juyi's four kinds of poems, the first two are the most important, because they reflect his' serving and always being good'. At the same time, he put forward his own literary proposition: "articles should be written in time, and songs and poems should be written." His poetic thoughts are mainly based on the creation of early satirical poems.
