Appreciation of Shi Jing's letters: A Letter from Shi Jing is a five-character quatrain written by Yuan Kai, a poet in Ming Dynasty. The first two sentences in the poem are to send a letter to the poet across the 3,000-mile river, while the last two sentences express the poet's close relatives' desire to "return home early". The whole poem describes the family's yearning for the poet, and also expresses the poet's infinite yearning for his family after living in a different place for a long time. The poem is short, the language is popular, but sincere and natural.
Poet Yuan Kai lived alone in Beijing, bored, and was filled with joy when he received a letter from his relatives, so he wrote this quatrain.
The author of Letters from Shi Jing introduced Yuan Kai, a poet of Ming Dynasty. Wen Jing was born in Huating (now Songjiang). At the end of Yuan Dynasty, he served as an official of Songjiang Prefecture, and collected the imperial history in Hongwu for three years (1370). Because Zhu Yuanzhang was evil, pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, he resigned. Yongle died early. I swam in front of Yang Weizhen's house when I was a child. Yang Weizhen praised his poem Bai Yan, and people called him "Yuan Baiyan". His works include Hai Tang Ji.
