Appreciation

In the beautiful scenery of the water town and the idealized life of a fisherman, this word puts forward the author's love of freedom and nature. What attracts us more in the lyric is not the fisherman in a straw raincoat raining and wind, but the picture of the rising water of the spring river and the misty rain during the Peach Blossom Flood in February in Jiangxiang. The green hills in the rain, the fishing boats on the river, the egrets in the sky, the red peaches on both sides of the river, the color is bright but looks soft, the atmosphere is quiet but energetic. This not only reflects the author's artistic craftsmanship, but also reflects his lofty, tranquil and leisurely interest. After this word into the song, not only a moment to sing and a lot of people, but also spread overseas.
