Appreciation of works:
(1) The author expressed a feeling of homesickness.
One or two sentences in the poem say that the leaves of trees are flying, the cold sound is blowing, the autumn wind is rustling and the river boat is drifting, which effectively sets off the poet's sad mood of being in a foreign land and wandering around. Three or four sentences describing the life scenes of children playing tricks on crickets with burning lamps will naturally arouse the poet's association. He will remember that his childhood was so naive, romantic, happy and interesting; He will think of the warmth and beauty of his hometown; He will think of the voices and smiles of his relatives and friends, and feel at home, like returning to childhood.
(2) Poetry expresses the author's lonely feeling of living in a foreign country.
Write a sentence or two about the scenery, and use fallen leaves, autumn wind and cold to set off the desolation of wandering and loneliness. A river of autumn water, the sky is dark, and the ears are cold. The poet couldn't sleep all night. He must be depressed and his meaning is not smooth. Write three or four sentences about children catching crickets at night, which is very interesting, cleverly contrasts sadness and shows the loneliness and helplessness of living in a foreign country.
③ Poetry expresses the author's thoughts and feelings of missing childhood.
Looking at the whole poem, generally speaking, three or four sentences are seen by the poet. Children catch crickets at night with great interest, forgetting the autumn wind and chill, regardless of the fall of trees and the cold in Qiu Jiang, catching crickets at midnight with relish. That kind of obsession, that kind of caution, that kind of ups and downs of sensitivity, are all shown in one gesture. This cheerful and interesting life scene naturally evokes the poet's pursuit and nostalgia for childhood. One or two sentences can also be understood in this way. The autumn scenery, accompanied by rustling sounds and swaying leaves, reveals a sense of wandering and inexplicable melancholy, and also reflects the poet's nostalgia and yearning for the carefree childhood living in a foreign country.
Creative background:
This is Ye Shaoweng touching the scenery in a foreign land. The sound of autumn wind can touch the homesickness of outsiders. Late at night, a child lit a lamp and looked for and caught crickets by the fence. The migration of seasons and climate and the change of scenery are most likely to cause travelers' homesickness. Being in a foreign land, the author felt autumn in the quiet night and wrote this euphemistic poem.
