L �����������������򟿥򟿥65

The mountains and plains are all green, and the sound of Zigui is raining like smoke.

This is a good example.

In April, there were few idle people in the countryside, and sericulture was planted in the fields.

The fields on the hillside are lush with vegetation, and the water color in the rice fields reflects the skylight. The sky is misty and rainy, cuckoos are crying, and the earth is thriving. April has arrived, and no one is idle. Just after sericulture, it is necessary to transplant rice seedlings again.

Creative background:

In the era of Weng Juan's life, Jiangxi Poetry School, which has been popular for a long time, is gradually dying out. 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 prosperous Tang Dynasty, Weng Juan and others and later Jianghu poets felt powerless and wanted to achieve something, which is also a reason why the poems of "Four Spirits" such as Weng Juan were valued in the poetry circles 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.
