【The Story of the Word】

One Chinese character a day - silkworm

Silkworm woman

Song Zhang Yu

Yesterday I went into the city and came back in tears.

A person who is full of silkworms is not a silkworm keeper.

Translation: Boil the beans to make the bean soup, and the filtered beans make a juice. Bean stalks burn under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. Bean stalks and beans are originally grown from the same root, why should they be forced so hard to torture each other?

Interpretation: At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the social situation was much more stable on the surface than the chaotic situation in the late Tang Dynasty and the five generations and more than a hundred years, and the broad masses of the people worked hard and worked hard to produce, so that the economy could be rapidly restored and developed. But in order to consolidate its rule, the ruling class exploited a large number of people, and used the material wealth it obtained to favor the descending kings, vassals and large bureaucratic landlord groups of the previous dynasty. Zhang Yu tried many times and was well aware of folk suffering, and this poem was written by the poet to expose this phenomenon of exploitation and oppression after witnessing the toil of the laborers.

This poem is felt through the sight and feeling of peasant women who are engaged in sericulture entering the city to sell silk, revealing the shocking social reality of "the exploiter gets for nothing, the laborer has no food and clothing", showing the poet's sympathy for the working people and dissatisfaction with the oppression and exploitation of the ruling class.
