This is a poem that reflects children's life. In his poem, the poet praised the little shepherd boy's life picture full of childlike interest. The poet first wrote about the dynamics of the little shepherd boy, and Gao sitting bull's style of singing loudly on his back was so loose and presumptuous; After writing the little shepherd boy's static state, he held his breath and stared at the cicada's expression with special concentration.
"There are more silent complaints than talking". This change from dynamic to static is written suddenly and naturally, vividly depicting the image of the little shepherd boy who is naive, good at listening and troubled.
It is in this ups and downs that this poem has achieved great artistic effect. The language of poetry is as clear, plain and natural as words. As for the next step, how the little shepherd boy catches cicadas or not, the poet hasn't written it yet, leaving it to readers to experience, daydream and think.
