Go to herd cattle in the morning and drive them across the winding river bank. Going to herd cattle at night, passing through several villages and valleys.

Creative background and appreciation:

1, the shepherd's poem

During 70 1-800 years in Tang dynasty, the culture of literati learning to write folk songs was formed. Its main symbol is to learn folk lyrics. At this time, there was little difference between words and poems in the eyes of literati, which was nothing more than elegance and vulgarity. The bamboo branches, willow branches and waves in Huajian Collection and Zunqian Collection are all quatrains in seven words.

The purpose of literati writing it is just to "be praised by those who are greedy for good songs." Li Jieren's poem is written on the basis of imitating folk songs, and its form and content are very harmonious.

This poem describes a shepherd boy's grazing life and interests. The first four sentences focus on the hard work of the shepherd boy, and the poet uses the transformation of time and space to expand the connotation of the poem.

The last four sentences emphasize the interest of grazing: the spring rain is continuous, the shepherd boy walks through the forest and grassland, plays melodious reed flute in his spare time, and then inserts wild Artemisia around his waist at will, just like a sword, which makes him brave and free and easy, so that he is no longer afraid of tigers bullying calves.

This whimsy vividly shows the shepherd boy's naive mental outlook, which makes people laugh.

2. Children fishing

Children Fishing was written by Hu Lingneng after he went to the countryside to find friends and asked the fishing children for directions. The specific creation time has not been confirmed.

This poem describes a child's concentration in fishing by the water. Through the description of typical details, the children's earnest innocence and childlike interest are vividly reproduced. Although the first two sentences focus on the child's posture, neither Sitting on the Side nor Raspberry Moss are simple paintings.

Although the last two sentences focus on the child's expression, the third sentence still has vivid pen and ink to describe the action. The whole poem vividly depicts the image of the fisherman from both form and spirit. The words are fluent, fresh and lively, and a few words draw a picture full of childlike interest, which can be called a masterpiece describing children with both form and spirit.
