Brief introduction of two poems sympathetic to farmers;
Two Poems for Peasants is a set of poems by Li Shen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This group of poems profoundly reflects the living conditions of farmers in feudal China. The first poem vividly depicts the fruitful scene everywhere, highlighting the realistic problem that farmers have worked hard to get a bumper harvest, but they starve to death with empty hands;
The second song describes the scene of working in farmers' fields at noon in the scorching sun, and summarizes the hard work life of farmers all year round. Finally, he expressed the poet's sincere sympathy for the peasants with a motto close to the meaning.
Creative background:
According to Fan Gang's Yunxi Friendship in the Tang Dynasty and Lu Shu's Weichuan in the old Tang Dynasty, it can be roughly inferred that this group of poems was written by Shen Li in 799 AD (the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong).
Appreciate:
In the first poem "Compassion for Peasants", the author compares the scene of bumper harvest with the scene of peasants working hard but even starving to death, which profoundly reflects the miserable living conditions of peasants in ancient China society. The whole poem uses the methods of combination and contrast between reality and reality. The language is popular and concise, and the syllables are smooth and lively, which greatly enhances the expressive force of poetry.
The first two sentences are compared with "one millet" and "ten thousand seeds", which vividly describe the harvest scene and praise the farmers' labor. The third sentence continues to deepen, showing readers a picture of fertile land around the world, reflecting a rich and fruitful scene and praising the great contribution and endless creativity of working people. The fourth sentence suddenly turns, "the peasants are still starving to death" and the first three sentences constitute a huge turning point, and the theme of the poem becomes dignified and painful.
According to the first two words of this poem, the second radio song of "Compassion for Farmers" is usually called "Cutting Crops". The poem depicts the scene of farmers working hard in the hot sun at noon, showing the hardships of farmers' work. The poem does not describe the complicated agricultural production process and the hardships of farmers' labor, but selects the scene of farmers sweating under the scorching sun, which gives people an impressive lens feeling. "Who knows, every grain is hard" expresses sincere sympathy for farmers. These two sentences are widely spread, known to women and children, and have become the motto of cherishing food and respecting labor in past dynasties.
The language of this poem is plain and easy to understand, but it is very touching. The main reason is to reveal one of the most important problems in life with the help of image description and image discussion. Describe and write in detail the weeding in farmers' fields under the scorching sun; The discussion revolves around the "Chinese food on the plate" that everyone needs. Besides, poetry is closely related and logical. Without the description of the first two sentences, the last two sentences are vague, without foundation and strength. On the contrary, without the following discussion, the previous description would remain superficial and its significance would not be so profound.
The poet also enhanced the expressive force of poetry through the combination of reality and reality, comparison and contrast. Therefore, although it is so easy to understand, it does not have the disadvantages of monotony and shallowness, which can make people often read and be new. The poet is also very particular about phonology. He adopts an eclectic and elegant form, which is convenient for free expression. On the other hand, it also makes the poem have a simple and heavy style commensurate with the content. Both poems use short rhymes, which give people a feeling of anxiety and depression and enhance the artistic appeal of the poems.
