a bowl of porridge bears the Chinese food culture for thousands of years, and behind its simplicity, it contains touching poetry. The porridge written by literati, either light and elegant, or sad and bitter, outlines an intriguing picture.

Li Bai, a poet, once comforted his hunger with a bowl of porridge during his wandering journey. He composed a poem "Qing Ping Diao" and wrote: so bright a gleam on the foot of my bed, could there have been a frost already?. I raise my head to gaze at the moon, Lowering my head, my nostalgia comes around. The moonlight is bright and the porridge is warm. On such a cold night, the poet's homesickness is getting stronger and stronger in the simple porridge and rice.

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, cared about the sufferings of people's livelihood all his life. He wrote in "Selling Charcoal Weng": Selling Charcoal Weng, cutting wages and burning charcoal in the south mountain. His face was covered with dust, the smoke - burning color, his graying hair on his temples, and his ten fingers burnt black. Charcoal vendor works hard, and a bowl of porridge is his best reward. Between the lines, there is deep sympathy for the people at the bottom.

Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, was worried about his country and people all his life, and was poor in his later years. He wrote in "Reading on a Winter Night": The ancients learned nothing, and it took time to grow old. What you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to do it. Lu You taught his son to study hard while eating porridge in the cold winter night. The bitterness of porridge highlights the poet's indomitable spirit.

Yuan Mei, a poet in Qing dynasty, is famous for his delicious food. He wrote in Poems with the Garden: porridge is a thing, and every grain is the essence. And porridge is especially top grade. Yuan Mei believes that porridge is simple, but every grain of rice is full of essence, which is a top grade. This is a compliment to the nutritional value and health care efficacy of porridge.

In modern times, the poet Wen Yiduo wrote in "Recalling the Past": Cold porridge leftovers repay kindness. The poet used porridge as a metaphor for his meager kindness and expressed his deep gratitude to his mother. This bowl of porridge is full of the simplest warmth in the world.

In the poet's works, a bowl of porridge is not only a hunger-filling thing, but also a carrier for expressing feelings. From Li Bai's moonlight porridge, to Wen Yiduo's cold porridge leftovers, porridge and rice, it seems to tell us the changes of time and the taste of life.
