Mouse, mouse, don't eat my wheat! Who will be grateful for raising you for so many years? Swear to leave you and go to that ideal and happy place. Happy, happy, the value of labor belongs to yourself!
Mouse, mouse, don't eat my seedlings! Who will comfort you after working hard to feed you for so many years and sweating? Swear to leave you and go to that ideal new music suburb. New music suburb, new music suburb, freedom and happiness!
This poem is divided into three chapters, each with eight lines. The application of overlapping progressive singing shows a very strong lyricism. In the first chapter, the first two sentences are the hope of "speaking", hoping that it will "eat my millet without food" and then two more sentences, accusing "speaking" of meanness. Three years old means many years. I've fed you food for years, but you only care about yourself, regardless of my life or death. The next four sentences mean that I can't stand it anymore. I swear to leave you, go to that happy place and find my own place. Feelings have changed three times, each time stronger than the last! Between bars, from "Shuo Shuo Shuo, I have no food!" To "Twinkle, Twinkle, No Grain, My Wheat!" Then go to "Shuo Shuo Shuo, no food for my seedlings!" " As a symbol of slave owners, the master mouse is more cruel from eating millet and wheat to eating seedlings. Therefore, the thoughts and feelings of slaves to slave owners are also progressive, and each chapter is stronger than the next! All the chapters overlap "Shuo", which exposes the greed and cruelty of the exploiting class and strongly expresses the hatred and resistance of the exploited. Let later readers sigh and cry for it. Very thoughtful and combative.
The main value and significance of this poem lies in that it expresses a social ideal of yearning for and pursuing a "paradise" on earth without exploitation and oppression. This social ideal has played a great role in the development history of China Thought, and has a far-reaching influence on later generations. From the social fantasy of "adapting to the heaven" and "adapting to the country to make it straight" in Storytelling to the great ideal of "being old and useful, being young and being good and abandoning" put forward by Confucianism in Book of Rites and Li Yun. The social ideal of "the world is public, there is no class and everyone is equal" has formed the ideological tradition of denying class oppression and exploitation and pursuing a happy life and a beautiful society in the social development of our country for more than two thousand years. "Although this social ideal could not be realized at that time, it stimulated the thoughts of working people, induced their pursuit and inspired their struggle, and its value and significance should not be underestimated in any case" (Zhang Shubo's masterpiece appreciation). When Engels spoke highly of utopian socialism theory, he once praised Saint-Simon, Fourier and Owen as "among the great intellectuals of all times" (preface to German Peasant War). It should be said that the author of our ancestor poet Shuo should also be included in the "list of the greatest intellectuals".
The greatest artistic success of this poem, which has been handed down through the ages, lies in its good choice of vehicle (theory). First, people are familiar with it in their daily lives. The second is apt and vivid. The so-called appropriateness is to sum up the similarities between the vehicle-mouse and the ontology-slave owner and grasp the similarities between them. So when it comes to mice, people will naturally think of slave owners who exploit people, thus giving people a deep impression. At the same time, the author exaggerates, highlighting the fat posture of Shuo because of overeating, thus highlighting the insatiable face of the exploiting class and making the image more vivid and vivid. Third, it has a distinct emotional color. Comparing mice to exploiters accords with the author's love and hate. Therefore, it has produced a strong artistic appeal, which has caused a strong * * * sound among generations of readers for thousands of years. This successful artistic experience is worth learning.
