The mother's hand is threaded, and the wanderer's body is clothed.
The seams are tightly sewn, and I am afraid that I will be late.
Whoever says anything will be rewarded with three Chunhui.
Tang Dynasty poet MengJiao's "Wandering Zi Yin" is a work describing maternal love, the whole poem is delicate and affectionate, portraying a kind old mother very expressively, able to flow for hundreds of years; when Mengjiao's family was poor and lived an extremely miserable life, her mother also suffered and suffered; but Mengjiao was very loving, and at the same time, she worked hard, and finally entered the army and the first at the age of forty-six, ending her wandering life.
In order to make his mother's life better, MengJiao was appointed as a lieutenant of Liyang County at the age of fifty, so he went home and took his mother with him. Just before leaving, the old mother was still as usual, carefully preparing for her son's long journey, sitting in a chair at night to mend the seams, and this scene also made the poet sigh with emotion, recalling the past years and writing this song of praise for the mother, in order to express the great and deep love for the mother.
The whole poem consists of six sentences, a total of thirty words, the poet adopts the technique of white painting, and presents it through memory, it seems to be just the usual seam patch, but for the poet; the mother's every move is full of love, so the whole poem focuses on the mother's love. This poem is also one of the more representative works of Mengjiao, although there is no gorgeous text, but the sincere emotion, as well as the simple and unpretentious language, has touched generations of readers.
Maternal love is the greatest love in the whole world, and every mother has a unique emotion for her children, and in ancient poetry, this kind of work is also everywhere. In addition to Mengjiao's "Wandering Zi Yin", there is also the Qing Dynasty poet Huang Jingren's "Other Old Mother", which is equally deep, but the writing is more touching; the poet expresses it from another angle, and what he wants to present is the helplessness of being a son, which makes people feel painful after reading it.
Pray to the mother river beam, white hair sad to see tears withered eyes.
On the night of the tragic firewood, it is better to have a son than nothing.
Huang Jingren was a famous poet of the Qing Dynasty, also known as Han Yong, Zhongze, Lu Feizi, Yanghu Renshi, and was on a par with Gong Zizhen, Yuan Ming, Zheng Banqiao and others in the Poetry Circle of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Jingren was born into poverty like Mengjiao, and his father died of illness when he was four years old, but his intelligence was outstanding, and he showed outstanding talent at a young age, but he was not reused, and he was a wanderer all his life, and he died in poverty and illness at the age of 35.
Most of Huang Jingren's poems describe the tragic dilemma of life, and he was the first to learn From Li Bai, whose seven unique styles are diverse, which can be said to be unique in the Qing Dynasty poetry circle. In this poem "Farewell to the Old Mother", Huang Jingren tells the helplessness of a son and the tragic life of his mother through a very sad taste and kiss, each sentence is very touching, writing the deepest love in the world.
Young Huang Jingren needs to go to the field to fight, nothing more than hoping to make life better, but for the mother who stayed at home, it is a painful blow, so in the opening chapter is straight into the theme, "Bow to the mother river beam, white hair and sadness to see the tears withered." "I am about to go to the river beam, and the bridge referred to by the river beam here is also a kind of pronoun, which means to replace the meaning of farewell." The son was about to leave his mother and go to the room to say goodbye, and when he saw the old white-haired mother, he had long been unable to cry, and his tears were about to dry.
After explaining the course of events and the delicate portrayal of the mother, at the end of the end, it is reflecting that as a son, he should obviously stay at home and take care of the old mother, but in order to live, he had to leave in the snowy night, which was the tragic snowy night of chaimen, and it was better to have a son than nothing at this time. Leaving at this time, for an elderly mother who looks at the elderly, there is no difference between having a son and not having a son, after all, it is impossible to perform filial piety around her.
Meng Jiao's "Wandering Zi Yin" focuses on describing the depth of maternal love, while Huang Jingren's "Don't Be old mother" is a meditation after reading. A young son, in order to let the old mother live a better life, went out alone on a snowy night, what he wanted to express was a helpless pain. In my personal opinion, this poem is more contagious and more heart-wrenching. As a son, in addition to his career, he also had to take care of the family, but the poet could not do it, which was an eternal pain for him.
