If Chinese classical poetry is regarded as a beam of light passing by a shooting star, then Tang poetry is the most splendid moment in this trajectory; if the poetry of the Tang Dynasty is regarded as a splendid spring, then the poetry of this dynasty is the most dazzling moment. The poet is a hundred flowers that compete for beauty, among which are rich and noble like peonies, delicate like roses, and coquettish like peach blossoms… Every cluster of flowers makes countless pedestrians stop to look at them.
Flowers may have drifted away with the water, but their beauty and fragrance have always been reflected in time. The long river of the world, the blue waves of culture, even if the stars move, the sun and the moon rise and fall, it will not fade.
Three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty gave birth to countless poets. Li Bai’s heroic and elegant style is undoubtedly admired and yearned for; Du Fu’s melancholy sad songs are indeed sighing and moving; Wang Changling’s majestic border poems are equally impressive. Heart surging…. However, I especially love those little poems about life.
Perhaps it is a description of a wine-selling experience, an anxiety of insomnia, or a The embarrassment of rain seems to make readers travel through time and space and feel the poet’s real life. One day, a poet passed by the outskirts of the village and saw a child fishing. He wrote his gestures into a seven-character quatrain.
This poet is not well-known. Compared with the four great poets of the early Tang Dynasty, big and small Li Du, Yuan Bai and other poets, he is almost a little transparent. His name is Hu Lingneng. The poet lived in the Zhenyuan period and lived in seclusion in Putian (now Putian, Zhongmu, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province).
Hu Lingneng is not like those “official second-generation” and “rich second-generation” poets in the Tang Dynasty. Relatively poor, in order to make a living, he engaged in repair work when he was young and lived on it. Because he worked for a while as a tinkerer repairing pots and pans, he was called a “mustard hinge” at the time.
Similarly, Hu Lingneng failed to enter officialdom in his lifetime. He respected the Taoist thought of inaction, highly praised Liezi, and often paid homage to him. Therefore, in his poems, he did not express his desire for a career as Li Bai did. There is no worry about the family and country like Du Fu’s. In the few poems that Hu Lingneng survives, most of them are descriptions of small things in life.
And the poem written for children, namely “Children Fishing”:
< p>The shaggy-headed child learns to learn cunning, and sits on the side of the strawberry grass.
Passers-by waved by asking Yao Yao, afraid that the fish would be shocked.
This poem simply depicts the scene of a child fishing. In the huge Tang Dynasty, there were so many such children, I am afraid that no great poet would keep his eyes on him, even at the expense of him. The pen and ink wrote poems for him, but Hu Lingneng, a hermit, has an incomparable love for the subtleties of life.
This child may be the child of some mountain villager, so his hair is disheveled and casual. Most of the children of wealthy families are well-dressed and read and write at home, but he can go to the river with a fishing rod. while learning to fish. Children in the mountains, life is so unrestrained, they can embrace nature every day.
The child sat sideways in the grass by the river, the weeds were soft and comfortable, exuding the fragrance of the earth, The long green grass hides the figure of this young fishing boy. The river water reflects the grass and trees and the child’s tender and serious face, and sometimes dragonflies swept across the water, making waves, but the child was always watching his fish float.
At this moment, the sound of asking for directions broke the tranquility of the river. The child still did not stop his fishing, but hurriedly waved to passers-by, because he was worried that the sound would disturb the fish, Let him return in vain.
Innocent and simple children, the world in their eyes is always so simple, they can face the ants on the ground , it takes a long time to see and never get bored; they can also count the stars in the night sky, and when they are in chaos, they will cry anxiously; they also build houses with sand, and then imagine this is their home.
In short, things that are extremely boring in the eyes of adults are important and sacred in their hearts, so they will devote themselves to their childlike world. Hu Lingneng described this characteristic of the child very vividly, as if we also returned to that wonderful childhood.
Although this poem does not focus on a certain historical event, nor does it recite any famous person, Hu Lingneng Perhaps it is regarded as a poem diary to record mood and life, but it has been passed down through the ages and has been selected into Chinese textbooks all year round. I just don’t know if this poem once made me recite it over and over again.remain in the current elementary school textbooks.
