Edit the introduction of the author of this paragraph.
Weng Juan (a famous writer in Song Dynasty) was born in Liuchuan in Song Dynasty and moved to Yongjia County after middle age. In the third year of Chunyou (A.D. 1243), recommended by his hometown, he spent a period of staff life in the commander's office in Vietnam, Jianghuai and other places. After that, he engaged in teaching, expanded the rivers and lakes, and finally took cloth clothes. He has been good at poetry all his life and has many cutting-edge works. Together with Zhao Xu, Ji Xu and Zhao Shixiu, they formed the "Yongjia Four Spirits" school in the history of China's poetry development. They attacked "Jiangxi School", created a stubborn poetic style, exercised writing, deliberately worked for the work, opposed the use of allusions, and deliberately sketched. Although many of his poems are about landscapes, singing and socializing, there are also many masterpieces that care about current events and people's livelihood. The Silkworm Girl by the Road in Dongyang, April in the Country and Gift for Zhang Yi are all well-known masterpieces. Ye Shi commented on his poem "self-spitting and leaning aside." According to Qing Qianlong's Wenzhou Fu Zhi, there is one volume of poetry, two volumes of Xiyan Ji and four volumes of Wei Bixuan Ji. In fact, the three are the same book. Due to the long time and the evolution of the banknote version, it was finally included in a book "Wei Bixuan Collection". There is a series of Yongjia Poets' Ancestral Temple compiled by Mao Guangsheng. The new edition of Poems of Four Spirits in Yongjia, collated by Chen Zengjie, is relatively complete.

The mountains and Yuan Ye are lush with vegetation, which is lush from a distance. The colors in the rice fields complement the skylight, and there are bright white everywhere. The cuckoo is singing, the sky is misty and rainy, and the earth is thriving. When April arrived, the farmers began to get busy, and no one in the village was idle. They have just finished planting mulberry and raising silkworms and started transplanting rice seedlings again.

This poem describes the scene of early summer in rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River in a simple way. The first two sentences focus on the scenery: green plains, Shirakawa, Zigui and misty rain, and a few strokes outline the unique scenery of the water town in early summer. The last two sentences are about people. The picture mainly highlights the image of farmers transplanting rice in paddy fields, thus setting off the tension and busyness of rural labor in April. Call before and answer after, interweaving into a colorful picture. In April in the south of the Yangtze River, the hillside is green, Yuan Ye is green, and green trees, grass and seedlings are displayed in front of the poet, which is a world dominated by green. In the green Yuan Ye, rivers and canals crisscross, and the roads are full, flowing and white; Paddy fields filled with water are also white. Looking up, the green fields and the white water are all shrouded in faint smoke. Is that fog? A cigarette? No, it was a drizzle. From time to time, a few cuckoo calls came from the trees and the air. The first two sentences of the poem describe the scenery of Jiangnan in early summer, with broad vision and delicate brushwork; Bright colors and hazy artistic conception; Dynamic and static combination, vivid and colorful. "The rain is like smoke in the sound of the sub-gauge", and the drizzle like smoke seems to be summoned by the sub-gauge, which is particularly sense of realm. "In April, there were few idle people in the countryside, and only silkworms were planted in the fields." The last two sentences are about busy farming in early summer in Jiangnan. Mulberry picking, sericulture and transplanting are two major agricultural activities related to food and clothing. Now is the busy farming season, and every household is very busy. Don't take the last sentence of the poem too seriously, thinking that every family picks mulberry to feed silkworms first, and some people transport seedlings and some transplant them; Some people put silkworms into the field first, some people put silkworms into the field first, some people are only busy with one of them, and many people have to do something else. "Planting fields only when raising silkworms" is just a simplification, which outlines the busy atmosphere of rural farmers in April. As for not directly saying that people are too busy, but that there are few idle people, it is deliberately euphemistic and soothing, in order to maintain a leisurely tolerance in people's busy tension, which is in harmony with the watercolor-style hazy colors described in the first two scenes.
Edit the background of this paragraph?
Weng Juan lived in an era when Jiangxi Poetry School gradually declined. Weng Juan and other four Wenzhou poets are deeply dissatisfied with the style of Jiangxi Poetry School, which is "taking books as poems", piecing together old classics and sticking to their own opinions. Weng Juan and others started with the poets in the late Tang Dynasty, deliberately seeking new ideas, taking the road of "bitter songs" by Jia Dao and Yao He, and trying to be "surprisingly narrow". This is probably the same idea that after the Tang Dynasty, poets such as Weng Juan and later Jianghu School felt that they were weak in talent and wanted to make achievements, which was also a reason why the poetic circles valued Weng Juan and other "four spirits" poems at that time. Most of Weng Juan's poems adopt the technique of line drawing, and the poetic style is relatively simple, with a faint charm in simplicity. "Paying more attention to essence than seeking more, and being complacent about things" is his creative criterion and goal. Weng Juan lives in the lower class of society and is familiar with people's feelings and customs. Therefore, some of his poems reflect and care about reality, sympathize with people's livelihood and expose unreasonable social phenomena, which are naturally very true. Although his poem "Silkworm Girl by Dongyang Road" has only seven words, it vividly describes the hard life and economic pressure of the silkworm girl: "Dust on the temples, mulberry leaf dew. It is difficult to meet each other, and it is difficult for others to reel off silk. " We can think of Bai Juyi's Charcoal Man. Silkworm girl and charcoal seller are both real working people in ancient society. After thousands of years of feudal society, there are few poets who can sing for the working people. His landscape poems not only inherited the exquisite style of the late Tang Dynasty, but also included the rational features of the Song Dynasty, such as Wild Hope: A Cold and Sunny Bay in Autumn, with numerous peaks and hills far and near. Wandering up the mountain to see wild water, I suddenly saw green mountains under the water. Another example is Shan Yu: The night is full of frost in Bai Yue, and there is no cloud or thunder. Pingming suddenly saw a stream running and knew that it was raining from another mountain.
