Sitting alone in the pond like a tiger,
Cultivate spirit in the shade of trees.
I won't say anything about spring,
Which bug dares to make a sound?
In autumn, 16 years old left his hometown Shaoshanchong to study in Dongshan Middle School Hall in Xiangxiang County, 50 miles away.
All students who come to Dongshan High School must take the entrance examination. At that time, the school stipulated that the topic of the exam composition was "expressing ambition". Most students wrote "respecting Confucius and reading classics" and "learning to be an official", but suffering, national crisis and the future of the motherland all wrote their own revolutionary ambitions to save the country and the people. After reading it, President Li praised it and said happily, "There is another founder in our school!" "
Dongshan primary school has a beautiful environment. It is located in Donganping, 23 miles away from the urban area, backed by the majestic and verdant Dongtai Mountain, facing the rippling Lianshui River and surrounded by flat and wide rice fields. Within the school wall, surrounded by rivers and lush trees. Spring has come, frogs are everywhere, which inspires the childlike innocence of loving life and pursuing truth. So I wrote the seven-character quatrain of "Yin Frog".
This seven-character quatrain, through the description of frog image and psychology, shows the author's great ambition to dominate the destiny of the country.
The first two sentences: "sitting alone in the pond is like sitting on a tiger's back, enjoying the cool tree to recuperate." In other words, a person sitting by the pond is like a tiger crouching in the shade to rest. Write the image and accomplishment of frogs. Frogs often live by the water in paddy fields, ditches and ponds. Sitting alone in the pond not only describes the life habits of frogs, but also highlights their unique personality. "Like a tiger", this enlarged frog image, is the expression of the author's broad mind. At that time, most of the students who came to Dongshan Primary School were children of rich families. They are dressed in silks and satins and light fur. When you enter school, you will either come in a sedan chair or be escorted. Wearing a coarse coat, it is very old and has a bad accent. I only went to primary school when I was very old. I am a foreigner. Those rich children think he is "rustic" and look down on him. I don't feel short because of this, but I feel much taller than those students who seek official wealth and arrogant rich children. Frog's "sitting alone in the pond like a tiger" is not only a portrayal of the ambitious teenager, but also the author himself.
The second sentence, through the description of frogs saving their energy in the shade, tells the story of their serious study and hard study during their school days. He raced against time to read Chinese and foreign books such as history, geography, social sciences, philosophy, etc., while reading and marking, in order to find a way to save the country and become a talent. He read essays such as "On Saving the Country for Survival" and "On Song Xianggong". After reading it, Tan Yongchun, a Chinese teacher, praised him: "It seems that you have immortal bones in your body. You are like the water of the Yellow River, flowing a thousand miles!" His learning spirit has been unanimously praised by teachers and classmates. At dusk, I often get together with you to discuss current events, talk about ideals, express my urgent feelings of looking forward to the rapid prosperity of the motherland, and encourage my classmates to study hard for the country and the nation and make more contributions in the future.
The last two sentences: "If I don't speak first in spring, which bug dares to be quiet." Spring has come, and if I don't scream first, which bug dares to scream! In this way, I wrote down my ambition to save the country and the people. As can be seen from this poem, with the motto "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", I named myself "Zi Ren", which means that I am determined to save the country and the people as a lofty responsibility. This ideal of saving the country and the people shows his great ambition when he was young. This is in line with the psychological characteristics of teenagers. For active teenagers, some people want to be scientists, writers, some want to be engineers, and some even want to be presidents and prime ministers, which is reasonable. "I won't speak first when spring comes, and which ant dares to speak" reveals the ambition to reverse Gan Kun.
The artistic features of this poem are ingenious conception and novel expression. Write about frogs, you can't leave frogs, you must be taller than frogs. This is both true and touching. For example, frogs crouch by the pond, because frogs are amphibians, and the water's edge is where they live. It is also true to write the frog's crouching posture as "crouching like a tiger", because the two States of "crouching frog" and "crouching like a tiger" are very similar. "Huju" is an enlarged "frog squat", which makes this artistic frog image surpass the frog image in life and endows it with the temperament of the king of the mountains, which is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Moreover, the rest place is in the shade of trees, and the activity time is after the spring comes, and the animals that set off it are other "bugs", which completely conforms to the frog's activity law. Most of the bugs in the field are the objects it eats, and all the bugs are afraid of it. Here, it is proposed to be "I don't speak first in spring, which ants dare to speak", which is both reasonable and reasonable, and the author's conception is ingenious.
