Poems about nostalgia and food: Fan Zhong, a fisherman on the river, is overwhelmed by the people coming and going on the river, but he loves the beauty of sea bass.
You see, a boat is in and out of the storm.
People who come and go on the river only like the delicious taste of sea bass.
Look at the fisherman driving a small boat like a leaf, emerging and disappearing in the strong wind and waves.
Appreciation This poem is very straightforward and readers can understand it at a glance.
However, there is a rich flavor in the straightforwardness.
Everyone knows how delicious sea bass is, but who knows that fishermen risk their lives by standing in a small boat and swimming in and out of rough waves to catch this delicious sea bass.
Deep sympathy for the fishermen is revealed between the lines.
Poems reflect life, and these two poems are portrayals of life, which contain the poet's sincere feelings.
This poem was written approximately in the first year of Jingyou's reign (1034) in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At that time, Fan Zhongyan was forty-six years old and was in charge of Suzhou. In order to control floods, he was observing the water conditions in Suzhou and Changzhou.
I saw a small boat in the river floating and sinking in the rough water, and I wrote a poem with emotion.
