Many people think that "doggerel" can't be served, but I always think that vulgarity is elegance, and some "doggerel" are not worse than regular poetry.
Today, I will introduce three very good limerick poems to you. I burst into tears after reading only a few words. I can't accept it.
1. Zhang Dayou besieged city
Millions of thieves and soldiers are trapped in Nanyang, and there is no salvation and no food.
One day, the city was broken, crying for father and mother.
Speaking of limerick, we must mention the originator of the mountain, Zhang.
He is known to later generations for a poem "Yin Xue". "The river is general and the well is black. The yellow dog is white and the white dog is swollen. "
Zhang Dayou's identity has always been controversial. Some people say that he is a hermit, while others say that he is just an ordinary villager.
He likes to write these humorous poems all his life.
Undeniably, in the Tang Dynasty, when culture was at its peak, Zhang Dayou's poems were unique.
According to legend, this song Fortress Besieged was written by An Lushan when he surrounded Nanyang County.
"An Shi Rebellion" was the greatest disaster in the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Wei, Du Fu and others all wrote poems about this rebellion.
"A thousand families worry about the wild, when will hundreds of officials go to the sky?" "Although the country is broken, the mountains and rivers will last forever, and the cities and villages will be covered with deep vegetation." ...
Although Zhang Dayou's poem is not as good as Du Fu and Wang Wei's, it is also very interesting to read.
The first two sentences of the poem describe the present situation of Nanyang city: surrounded by millions of soldiers, there are no reinforcements and no surplus food in the city.
In just 14 words, Nanyang's predicament was written to the extreme.
It is only a matter of time before Nanyang breaks the city.
So what will happen after breaking the city?
The phrase "Cry for Dad and Call for Mom" has exhausted the sufferings of the people.
At any time, in the war, it is always the common people who suffer the most.
"Crying Dad and Calling Mom" seems funny, but in fact it implies infinite grief, which makes people laugh and cry.
2. Zhu Yuanzhang's "Singing Chicken"
The cock crows and pouts, and the cock crows and pouts.
Three calls called out the Fusang sky, sweeping away the remnant star Xiao Yue.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the real son of heaven in cloth. His family has been poor peasants for generations.
When he was a child, he worked as a cowherd and a monk, so strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had no culture.
But it is such an uneducated person who founded the Ming Dynasty, which is really admirable.
This song "Cockcrow" was written on the day he ascended the throne.
It is said that he suddenly heard a loud cock crow that day, which was a good omen, so he wrote a poem on the spot.
When he read out the first sentence, the officials on the steps listened, trying to laugh but afraid to.
Many officials couldn't help laughing when they heard the second sentence, "The rooster crows twice and purses his lips twice".
Zhu Yuanzhang saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't agree. He calmly recited the last two sentences, "Three sounds called out the Fusang sky and swept away the remnant star Xiao Yue".
These two sentences sweep away the vulgarity of the previous article, which not only shows the domineering of the emperor, but also shows the new atmosphere of the new dynasty. Hearing this, all the ministers were impressed and never dared to underestimate this uneducated emperor again.
3. Zheng Banqiao's "Give a Thief"
The wind is blowing, the moon is faint, and the husband who works is cold.
There are ten thousand volumes hidden in the belly of poetry and books, and there are no half of the money strings at the bedside.
Don't scare the yellow-tailed dog when going out, and don't interfere with the green flowerpot when climbing over the wall.
I will put on my clothes at night, pack up my ambitions and start over.
Zheng Banqiao was a famous painter and calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, and also one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".
Legend has it that he is good at joking, and there are many anecdotes about him among the people. This song "To a Thief" is one of the representatives.
One night, it was so stormy that Zheng Banqiao couldn't sleep in the house.
Suddenly he heard something outside the house, and he was about to get up and have a look. In the moonlight, a furtive figure reflected on the window.
Zheng Banqiao knows that this is a thief. He had a brainwave and began to sing: "The wind is rising and the moon is faint. The hard-working gentlemen are coming cold! "
Hearing this, the thief got a fright. It turned out that the master didn't sleep, but he didn't want to go home empty-handed, so he hid under the eaves to observe.
After a while, I heard nothing, so I touched it again.
When Zheng Banqiao heard the noise, he began to sing again: "There are ten thousand volumes hidden in the abdomen of poetry books, and there is no money string at the bedside."
Hearing this, the thief was unlucky and came to a family without oil or water. Let's leave now.
Just as the thief turned to leave, Zheng Banqiao added, "Don't scare the yellow-tailed dog when you go out. Going through the wall will not hinder the green flowerpot. "
As soon as the thief heard about the evil dog, he was afraid to go out of the front door, thinking about climbing the wall. Hearing Zheng Banqiao's last words, he carefully avoided orchids.
Zheng Banqiao found that the thief had some morality. Finally, he presented two poems, "I'm going to put on my clothes for the night, and I'm going to pack my bags and start over." .
It's late at night, so I won't see you off.
You'd better turn over a new leaf in the future
The whole poem is humorous and easy to understand, but it also implies a feeling of sadness and helplessness, and its level is amazing.
