Creative background:
According to "Bai Juyi's Collection of Poems", this poem was written in the ninth year of Yamato (835) when he was the crown prince. Fu branched out to Luoyang, the eastern capital. One day when I was traveling by the pond, I saw a mountain monk playing chess and a little boy rowing a boat, so I wrote this series of poems.
Appreciation:
The ancients said: "The great is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild." To hide from the court is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, to restrain one's sharpness and follow the trend, and to be kind-hearted with the world in mind. Hiding in the market is a matter of accumulation and hard work, and it is an ambitious strategy.
Hiding in the wild is the narrowest and most complete form of seclusion. It avoids utilitarianism but cannot avoid favors. At most, it is hidden in the shadow of a bamboo and no one can see it. The beauty is that outsiders can "hear what is going on all the time." Voice".
Hidden in the wild, the clouds are rolling, the wind is passing through the bamboo forest, the frost is high, the sun is rising, the clouds are setting and the moon is rising - the wilderness is the core world of nature, and it is the hermit who gives nature such and such passionate. Toddlers are toddlers, babbling, childish talkers, and full of childish fun.
They are all touching chapters. - Human beings are the darlings of nature. Children are the core of "wildness" similar to "nature". It is childishness that gives human beings unlimited future. .
Under the bamboo shadow by the pool, I heard the sound of falling children. The mountain monks held their breath and listened to spy on the naughty children. The beauty of "Two Wonders on the Pond" is to look at the two qualities together: stillness and movement, wisdom and foolishness, depth and shallowness, which are perfect like the layout of "bamboo shadows slanting horizontally" and "complementing each other" in Chinese paintings.
Three or two little kids with headbands and red bellybands, holding narrow and light boats, looked around as if there was no one around, secretly planning: Hurry up, hurry up... be careful, be careful, be careful... ...That lotus pod is the biggest, it must be particularly sweet... Enough, enough, enough... I can't pick any more.
If your parents find out where you hide it, you will definitely get scolded... That one is good, but it is too far away to reach... I don’t want it anymore... I don’t want it anymore... If it falls into the water and gets the clothes wet, Trouble...why are you crying? How about I go into the water with my butt naked and pick it for you?
I heard that there is a kind of water spider here that can drag people... The successful dolls moved away cunningly and alertly, but they forgot that the traces of the boat in the water would betray them. Ping opened together. "The tranquility was restored, leaving only a trace of water gradually closing.
A pool of sparkling water. Ignorance, rapid advancement, joys and sorrows, ups and downs of wealth and fortune, wise men are all children at first. They need to go through confusion, hesitation, elation, and loss before they can finally achieve enlightenment and finally understand the true meanings of people in the world and life in living.
Then practice it personally and teach it to others. Bai Juyi is a great poet who is good at writing narrative poems. His long narrative poems describe the narratives in a detailed and melodious way, full of the poet's own emotions. Similarly, the sketches in his poems are more popular and accessible.
"Chi Shang Er Jue" is such a set of short poems describing an ordinary life. The poet used his unique popular style to write the two scenes in a lovely, amiable and believable way.
