Poems of Country Night

Village Night is the work of Lei Zhen, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The whole poem is as follows: the grass is full of pond water is full of malice, and the mountain is immersed in the sunset. Cowherd's child sat on the cow's back and casually played the tune with piccolo.

The whole poem literally means: the grass is full of the pool, and the water almost overflows the bank. Castle peak in the distance, with scarlet sunset glow in its mouth, reflects the shadow in the water together, shining with waves. The little shepherd boy rode on the back of the cow and walked home; Holding a piccolo, playing casually, without a fixed voice.

Appreciation of the whole poem:

Last time, this poem showed a picture of a shepherd boy riding an ox and coming home late, which really reached the realm of "painting in poetry"

Write the background in the first two sentences of this poem. The first sentence "the pond is full of grass" means that the festival is in late spring and the pond is full of grass. "The water is full of malignancy" means that it is the rainy season, so the water rises very high. Write the sunset in the distant mountains. With a word "title", the sunset hanging on the hill is vividly expressed. Another word "immersion" says that the setting sun and green hills are reflected in the water, much like Wang Anshi's sentence "The northern mountains lose their green and rise horizontally". The poem centers on the pond, where the grass is green and the water is clear as water, setting off the green hills and the sunset, and the middle is maintained with the word "immersion", making the pond look very lively and colorful.

In such a quiet and beautiful background, the protagonist, the shepherd boy, appeared. He rode an ox to the village, playing piccolo in his hand. Compared with the tranquility of the previous two sentences, these two sentences are very lively. The shepherd boy rides an ox, not riding straight, but sitting sideways; He didn't play the flute seriously, but "played without a cavity." As a result, the naughty and naive expression of the shepherd boy is vividly presented to the readers, which is refreshing.
