The theme of poetry and prose

May Huang Shi, every household is shrouded in misty rain.

There were ponds full of grass everywhere, and frogs broke out.

The invited guests said they hadn't come yet, and the time passed quickly after midnight.

I knocked on the table with a chess piece in my hand, waiting for the guests, only to see snuff drop a flower every once in a while. ...

Appreciation of poetry and prose

The first two sentences explain the environment and season at that time. Huangmei, the sound of rain, the pond and the sound of frogs describe the summer night scene in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River: the sound of rain and the sound of frogs are endless. Reading makes people feel immersive, as if it is drizzling around and frogs are barking around. This seemingly lively environment, in fact, the poet wants to reflect its silence.

The last two issues show people and things. The master waited patiently and anxiously, doing nothing, "knocking" the chess pieces and quietly looking at the sparkling snuff. The third sentence, "I have an appointment and won't come after midnight", points out that the poet invited guests to visit. After midnight shows a long waiting time. I was expecting the guest's knock on the door, but I only heard a burst of rain and frogs, which showed the author's anxious mood. The fourth sentence, "Knocking on chess pieces", is a detailed description. The poet can't wait long for the invitation, and the wick is very long. When the poet is bored, he subconsciously knocks the black and white pieces on the chessboard and knocks down the snuff with the sound of chess. This gesture seems leisurely, but it actually reflects the poet's inner anxiety.

The whole poem not only describes the poet's scene of waiting for a guest to visit on a rainy night, but also writes the feeling of disappointment that the guest has not arrived, which can be described as both form and spirit. The whole poem has a strong flavor of life and gets rid of the habit of carving, so it is beautiful and can be recited.

Innovative reading

What artistic conception did the poem "Ke" create and what artistic conception did the poet express?

Look-on a summer night in the south of the Yangtze River, the plum rains are falling, frogs are chirping, and the poet invites friends to play chess. However, when the guests have not arrived after midnight, the poet knocks on the chess pieces and waits quietly ... What is the poet's mood at this time? I don't think there is any anxiety or boredom at all, but more likely a relaxed and comfortable state of mind. Maybe I was anxious for a while (how can this anxiety last until midnight? ), but now, the poet is infected by the scene of the summer night in the south of the Yangtze River: passionate plum rain, cheerful wow, flashing lights, crisp chess knocking ... This is a lively and quiet, dignified and elegant picture. Perhaps the poet has forgotten that he is waiting for a friend and is completely immersed in the inner restlessness and tranquility. We should thank our friends for not keeping the appointment and let the poet enjoy such a wonderful sleepless night alone.

"Knocking on the chess pieces and falling on the snuff" is a detailed description. Tapping a chess piece on the chessboard in a boring way shocked snuff.

Fall: To cause to fall.

Snuff: The wick burns out to form flowers.

The last sentence is actually a scene, which is intended to express emotion and show the author's peaceful state of mind at this moment. Although the invited guests haven't come yet, they are still in no hurry, playing chess leisurely and gracefully, watching the scattered lights and ashes, like flowers. Fully embodies the author's elegant feelings.
