At the turn of the four rivers, the city is inclined and scattered into thousands of streams all over the family.

Plant water chestnut in the depth, rice in the depth and lotus in the depth.

Interpretation of Xing Wu s Miscellaneous Poems;

Four rivers crisscross Wuxing City, and the flow direction deviates from the city wall. These four rivers are divided into many streams, and many families live on them. Residents take advantage of this excellent natural condition to plant water chestnut in deep water, rice in shallow water and lotus in shallow water.

This poem depicts the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town with beautiful language, giving people beautiful enjoyment and containing profound philosophical thoughts.

"The city is held at the turn of the four waters, and the city is scattered by thousands of streams." Write about the unique natural scenery of Xing Wu water town. There are three quantifiers in the two sentences, which write a dense and orderly water system. "Four Rivers" is the trunk, "Thousand Rivers" is the tributary, and "Wanjia" means more tributaries. Through verbs such as "communication", "temporary work" and "time", it makes people feel that they can have a bird's eye view of the water town in Xing Wu.

Under the division of this cobweb-like dense water system, the green fields in the south of the Yangtze River have become a splendid landscape composed of many color blocks. "Around the city" means that the mainstream and city walls around the city have a certain uphill, which is a natural trend. Large and small streams are living water, which brings vitality to vilen in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Plant water chestnut in the depth, rice in the depth and lotus in the depth." This stream covering thousands of households is divided into three categories, namely "deep" places. Shallow but not deep and not shallow, and they are scientifically arranged, that is, deep water chestnut, shallow rice and deep lotus.

The beauty of the whole poem lies in these three arrangements. The common feature of these three arrangements is to proceed from reality and adapt to local conditions. Only in this way, water chestnut, rice and lotus can thrive and grow happily. On the other hand, if "one size fits all", regardless of objective reality, it will have disastrous consequences.

These two sentences are concise, but rich in philosophical thoughts. It tells people that everything should proceed from reality, specifically, it is to proceed from actual needs and possibilities, adjust measures to local conditions and adapt to the times, give full play to people's subjective initiative on the basis of doing things according to objective laws, and strive for the success of practice and the realization of goals; We must never be divorced from actual needs and possibilities, and metaphysically engage in "one size fits all" and absolutization.

Plant water chestnut in deep water, rice in shallow water, and lotus in neither deep nor shallow water. It is wrong to plant water chestnut, rice and lotus regardless of water depth and shallow water.

So is life. Everyone has different ambitions, different situations, different abilities, different environments and different opportunities. The key is to proceed from the actual needs and possibilities, adjust measures to local conditions, find your own position, strive for the success of your career, and realize the value of life.

Water chestnut is planted deep in the water, which is neither deep nor shallow for lotus, shallow for rice and shallow for grass without water. As long as we follow this idea, everyone can realize their own life value.
