The meaning of water ballast line

The road to the water town is paved with water clouds; Entering the village and leaving the village, a paddle. The road to the water town is a piece of water. If you want to get in and out of the water town, you must take a boat. Fishing nets are used as door curtains and covered with trees; When I got closer, I saw how many families lived.

Fishing nets hang on trees like door curtains. Take a closer look, there are several people living behind the fishing net. The willow is red and the willow line dances. Lock a pair in front of each door.

Pomegranate is ripe and red as fire; The branches of willows are also dancing in the wind. But everyone is not at home, and the iron general is watching the door. Looking for a person in the depths of rice fragrance; Step by step, stop the frog drum.

If you want to find someone, you must go to the depths of the rice fields to find them; The footsteps of looking for someone scared the frogs in the field to stop barking. The cicada lives, and the water is foggy at night; The children are good at rowing when they untie the cable to see the guests off. ?

As night fell, cicadas stopped singing and a thin layer of fog appeared on the water. Children can draw a good boat even if they untie the cable to see the guests off.

Original text:

The road in the water town is paved with water and clouds.

Entering the village and leaving the village, a paddle.

Fishing nets are used as door curtains and covered with trees; When I got closer, I saw how many families lived.

Willow is red, willow line dances; Lock a pair in front of every house!

Looking for people, deep in the sea of rice; Step by step, stop the frog drum ...

The cicada lives, and the mist rises to the surface at dusk; The children are good at rowing when they untie the cable to see the guests off.

Extended information article introduction:

A Water Village Tour is a modern poem written by modern poet Sha Bai 1962. This is a pure pastoral poem. Once a poet visited a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, he expressed the whole process of visiting the water town in a poetic way, which made readers feel that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River was full of poetry. The whole poem is concise and elegant, full of wonderful life interest.

This is a pure pastoral landscape poem, which describes the scenery of Jiangnan water town, but it is different from other landscape poems. Generally, there are few imaginations and metaphors in landscape poems, and this poem has almost none. The poet describes the objective and true pastoral scenery, which is simple, natural, beautiful and quiet, and can make people linger.

Writing background:

This poem was written in March 1962. It was published in the second issue of Poetry Journal, 1962, and later included in the author's poetry collection "Apricot Flowers and Spring Rain in the South of the Yangtze River", which is one of the representative works of the author's early poems.

At that time, poetry was still trapped in a strong political atmosphere and was mainly regarded as a tool of class struggle. On the other hand, The Water Margin is a pure pastoral poem, with no swords and shadows of class struggle and no gunpowder throughout.

It was the lack of the "spirit of the times" advocated at that time, so it suffered some criticism. But as soon as it came out, it was welcomed by readers and became a famous article for a period of time.
