The whole poem: the little doll punted and stole back the white lotus. He didn't know how to hide the trail. The duckweed on the water left a boat on the trail.
A child is holding a boat and secretly picking white lotus. He didn't know how to hide the trace. A boat crossed the duckweed on the water.
Creative background: According to the collation of Bai Juyi's poems, this poem was written in the ninth year of Daiwa (AD 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.
works appreciation
Bai Juyi is a great poet who is good at writing narrative 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.
The child happily picked the lotus and forgot to go quietly without telling the adults. He didn't know or didn't expect to hide his tracks. He came back with a swagger, and the boat gently threw the duckweed off 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.
