Speaking of ancient poems, it is really a spring and snow on the top, and a Riba people on the bottom. Literati doctors use poetry as a medium, singing and communicating, interfering with the leading figures in their careers, including expressing their own temperament, unwillingness and loneliness, desolation and longing, wild and open-minded, and at the same time, they also have a lot of dabbling in the lives of laborers, including pastoral, including mountains and forests, including daily production, all of which make the content of poetry include Vientiane, ancient and modern.
Now I will summarize some ancient and modern poems about labor.
First of all, there is a saying about the origin of poetry, which is derived from the labor trumpet, for example, when the ancients cut wood, they shouted out the trumpet of "hey, hey, hey", and slowly people created some simple four-word poems according to these rhythmic sonorous trumpets, which became the initial form of five-word poems and seven-word poems in later generations.
Look at this one:
National style, Zhou Nan, Picking, Picking, Picking Roots, Picking Words. Picking and picking the herbs, there are thin words. Pick and pick the herbs, and say nothing. Pick and pick the herbs, and make a thin statement. Pick the herbs, thin words. Pick and pick the herbs, and the words are thin.
The poet described the process of collecting psyllium by women, allowing people to see the industriousness of working people. Without too much embellishment, only through the actions of picking, picking, picking, picking, pocketing, pocketing, and pocketing, a vivid labor scene is reproduced concisely and clearly. These busy people, simple and happy, make us seem to see the picture of our parents or grandparents working when we were children.
And there are countless similar poems in the Book of Songs. There are also poems that depict the hardships of laborers. For example:
Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. One day is hairy, and the second day is fierce. No clothes and no brown, why did you die?The third day is in the shackles, and the fourth day is the toe. With my wife and son, I am happy in the south of the country, and the fields are happy.
Roughly speaking, in July the fires went westward, and in September women sewed winter clothes. The north wind blows strongly in November and the cold air hits people in December. Without good clothes and no rough clothes, how can you get through the end of this year?In the first month, the hoe and plough were repaired, and in February, the plough was plowed. He went with his wife and children, delivered the food to the land of Xiangyang, and the Tianguan distributed the food.
The whole text is sad and bitter, so our ancient people were industrious and miserable.
Of course, some poems about labor appeared earlier than the Book of Songs, depicting the life of our ancestors who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset
Kik Song. The sun rises, and the sun rests.
Dig wells and drink, plough fields and eat.
What is Dili to me?
Of course, labor is not pure hard work, but also happiness and pleasure, because labor ability is an activity that exercises the body and mind and makes our body healthier. You don't see, many rural uncles and aunts are still working in the fields in their seventies and eighties, not just for life, they have been busy all their lives, and labor has become their daily routine, and they will be physically and psychologically uncomfortable if they don't work.
Let's take a look at a happy lotus-picking poem:
Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian.
Fish play among lotus leaves.
Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north.
Reading such poems, do you suddenly envy the south of the Yangtze River in your heart, where the large lotus flowers and moist air are full of romantic atmosphere, which is also a beautiful experience brought to us by labor poetry.
In other words, some people are disgusted with officialdom and do not go along with the latter, so they resign and go into hiding, and they live their own working lives, such as Tao Yuanming, such as Wang Wei, such as Lin Kui, a large number of landscape idyllic poets, with their personal experience tell us that working in the fields is often more comfortable and leisurely than mixing in officialdom. Let's enter Tao Yuanming's pastoral realm now:
Return to the garden and live in the countryside.
Jin Tao Yuanming.
Planting beans in the south of the mountain, the grass is full of bean seedlings.
Morningside is desolate, and returns with the moon and lotus.
The road is narrow and the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew stains my clothes.
It is not a pity to stain the clothes, but the wish is not violated.
And some poets see the joy of rural life in the busyness of laborers, and then resort to poetry, so that we can see the beauty of life and the relationship between life and artistic creation. He is Wang Jian.
The rain passed over the mountain village. Tang Wangjian.
One or two chickens crow in the rain, and the road and bridge in Zhuxi Village are oblique.
The women and aunts called each other to bathe the silkworms and look at the gardenias in the atrium.
Therefore, all labor is not simply a physical effort, but also includes the joy of the soul, the uplifting of the spirit, and the source of more artistic activities. So, through the description of labor life in the above poem, do you fall in love with labor?
