Village night
Lei Zhen (Song Dynasty)
The grass fills the pond with water, and the mountain is soaked in cold ripples at sunset.
The shepherd boy returned to the back of the ox, and the piccolo was blown without a voice.
This is a picture of the shepherd boy riding a bull and returning late in his later years, and he used poetry to paint vividly showing the leisurely and innocent childhood interest of the shepherd boy when the sunset was setting in the west and the shepherd boy returned late.
In a pond full of aquatic grasses, the pond is full of water, and the mountain catches the sunset and drowns the waves. The cattle herders sit on the backs of the cows and casually play the in tune with the piccolo.
The poet borrows the evening scenery of the village with the beautiful mountains and the rendering of colors, as well as the shepherd boy's life interest in lying on the back of the cow and playing the flute, to express his praise and yearning for this leisurely and free rural life, and his appreciation of the naughty and innocent life of the shepherd boy.

Yuan Ming (Qing Dynasty)
The shepherd boy rides a cattle, and the song vibrates lin.
Intending to catch cicadas, he suddenly closed his mouth.
If Lei Zhen's "Village Evening" is a beautiful picture, then Yuan Ming's poem is a cheerful sitcom.
Yuan Mei loved life and lived in Jiangning after resigning from his official position.
One summer, he saw a shepherd boy riding a cow and singing a song on the way on the road, when he suddenly heard the cry of cicadas, so he stopped singing and jumped off the back of the cow, ready to catch the cicadas. This scene triggered the poet's poetry, and he wrote this poem "Seeing".
In this poem, the innocent and lively, leisurely little shepherd boy sings cheerful songs, and the cute look of holding his breath and watching the cicadas is vividly portrayed by Yuan Ming. Seeing such a lovely shepherd boy, who would not have a love for nature?

Lü Yan [Tang Dynasty]
The grass shop is six or seven miles across the field, and the flute makes the evening wind sound three or four times.
After returning to a full meal at dusk, do not take off your clothes and lie in the moon.
Lü Yan, also known as Lü Dongbin. He was a famous Taoist priest of the late Tang Dynasty and five generations. He is also one of the Eight Immortals for folk mythology.
Lü Dongbin was originally a Confucian student, but due to the disadvantage of the science field, he began to learn the Tao, and he went to many places to find immortals and asked.
On this day, he traveled to a small village, the sun was thin, and the sunset sprinkled the afterglow on a green meadow, and the grass seemed to be spread on the ground by someone, and there was grass for six or seven miles. In the evening wind, the intermittent and melodious flute of the shepherd boy was faintly heard.
The shepherd boy came back to eat, and it was already after dusk, and he did not even take off his coat, so he lay down on the grass and looked at the full moon in the sky.
The wilderness, the green grass, the sound of the flute, the shepherd boy, the cloak, the bright moon, isn't this the wonderland you are struggling to find?
It seems that there is no place for the clouds, and the wonderland on earth is originally here. Be respectful, be fearless in all things, be pure in heart, and have no noise in the world. Soft to strong, humble to respect, heaven and earth, calm and calm.

Shepherd's poems
Huang Tingjian (Song Dynasty)
Riding an ox far past the former village, the piccolo blowing across the long smell.
How many Chang'an celebrities and fortunes, the organs are exhausted as the jun.
Huang Tingjian was born with exceptional intelligence, far beyond the people of his age, composing poetry as words, omnipotent, and winning the reputation of a child prodigy.
When he was seven years old, his father Huang Shu invited several poets to drink and chant poems at home, and one of them said: "Jiuwen Linglang is young and wise, why don't you let him also recite a poem!" ”
This kind of non-propositional composition is actually quite difficult, Huang Tingjian tilted his head and thought about it, at this time, the flute sound of the little shepherd boy was heard in the distance.
The carefreeness of the shepherd boy is in stark contrast to the group of fame-seeking and well-calculated celebrities in front of him and the leisurely shepherd boy.
So he blurted it out as poetry. Those who chase fame and fortune are not as idle as a little shepherd boy.

Shepherd's Word
Li Shi (Tang Dynasty)
Towards the cattle, cattle under the river song.
Night cattle grazing, cattle herding in the village valley.
Lotus out of the forest spring rain fine, reed pipe lying blowing sedge green.
Randomly inserted basil arrows all over the waist, not afraid of the tiger bullying the yellow calf.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shi and his younger brother Li Bo lived in seclusion under the incense burner peak in Lushan Mountain.
Living in the countryside is really comfortable. Occasionally, a few dog barks and a few chicken chirps are pleasant melodies.
And the little shepherd boy's singing voice is even more natural.
The little shepherd boys always spent his time in the wild. In the morning, their songs sounded in the water and grass overgrown areas of the river bay. In the evening, they sang again and returned home with the evening breeze.
To the sound of the shepherd boy's reed flute, the sedges are also green day by day.
For shepherd boys, they are the closest people to nature! So nature is also his best friend.

Liu Chao [Tang Dynasty]
The shepherd boy saw the guests and worshiped, and the mountain fruit fell in his arms.
The day drives the cattle back, and the front creek is windy and rainy.
Liu Cha often walks in the folk, and he can often see silhouettes of folk life in his poems.
One gloomy late spring day, he was walking in the mountains and forests, and in the distance came a small shepherd boy riding a bull.
When the shepherd boy saw him, he quickly bent down to worship, and the mountain fruit in his arms fell out.
He wondered why he had driven the cattle back during the day.
The shepherd boy told him that the front stream was blowing strong winds and raining heavily.
A very common slice of life, a very simple few words of dialogue, under careful study, and feel deeply philosophical.
Many times, we are also like Liu Driving, walking in the midst of adversity. If someone points out that the road ahead is difficult and difficult, and it is impossible to walk, we must also learn to change and find a new way out where we turn.

Lu Zhao [Tang Dynasty]
Whoever has the heart of a shepherd boy, the cow sleeps horizontally in autumn and listens deeply.
Blowing a song back and forth from time to time, He Worries about the North and South do not know the sound.
This is the most pleasant shepherd boy in ancient poetry.
One idyllic night, the breeze blows softly, and the grass is flooded with waves, like a turquoise ocean.
A little shepherd boy lay on the back of a cow and fell asleep listening to the melodious singing of autumn insects.
After waking up, he still played a song from time to time on the road, and he didn't worry about not having a confidant to enjoy.
During the day there are cows and flutes as friends, and at night there are breezes and bright moons, just like the enjoyment of paradise, what confidant does this have?

Zhang Zhi (Tang Dynasty)
Distant cattle grazing, around the village on all sides of the grass thick.
Pi Zhong's hungry crow pecked at the back of the cow, so that I could not play with the ridge head.
When the grass is mixed, many cattle scatter, and when the white calves are singing in the reeds.
The embankment blew leaves in response to companions, and also drummed three or four long whips.
Cattle and cattle eat grass and do not touch each other, and the official family cuts the horns on the head.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was already divided into feudal towns, and the people did not have a good life.
Civil wars between the clan towns were frequent, and people and livestock had to bear an unprecedented heavy burden of servitude; delivering grain and grass, long journeys, thin cattle and people were hungry, coupled with the urgent urging of officials, many thin cattle would be worn to the skin. Therefore, it is common to see crows perched on the back of the cow, pecking at the rotten meat on the back of the cow.
Zhang Bi saw this scene, and in order to reflect this dark reality, he cleverly used the tone of the childish shepherd boy to threaten the cow and composed this poem.
Cow, cow, you have green grass in front of you, so you just have to eat grass and don't fight, you know that the horned butler on your head is going to levy! In case the fight is broken, the end may only be able to make Lunch on the plate.

The Tsukawada family
Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
The slanting sun shines on the ruins, and the cattle and sheep in the poor alleys return.
The wild old shepherd boy leaned on the staff to wait for the thorns.
Pheasant wheat seedlings are beautiful, silkworm sleeping mulberry leaves are thin.
Tian Fu he hoe to, meet the words of Yi Yi.
That is, this envy is idle, and it is fading.
During the Kaiyuan period, Wang Wei was expelled from the imperial court because his mentor Zhang Jiuling was expelled from the imperial court, and deeply felt that he had lost his political dependence, so he chose to live in seclusion in Lantian, spending his days in the landscape, accompanying the sun and the moon, and entertaining himself with calligraphy and painting.
In the spring dusk, the first sunshine after the rain, the air is washed by the rain is particularly fresh, Wang Wei seems to be in a natural oxygen bar.
He saw the slanting sun shining on every corner of the village, and the cattle and sheep returned along the deep alley.
In the distance, there are old men thinking of their grandchildren who are grazing, the poles are waiting in front of their own firewood, and the farmers return with hoes in pairs, and they meet by chance on the field path.
Here really everyone has their own home, but he himself is still wandering in the middle of the road, and he cannot help but be envious and sad.
He sighed with emotion: "That is, this envy is idle, and it is fading." Compared with the official life that they feared, the peasants were much safer, more comfortable, and much more idle.
Unnatural, he hummed "Micro-decline": "Micro-micro, micro-micro, Hu does not return? ”
Everyone has returned, but they have nothing to return; everyone returns in a timely, kind, and comfortable way, but they themselves are too late to return.
Perhaps for Wang Wei, he was doomed to the end of retreat from the beginning. Choosing to retreat is his innermost feeling, not the tear stains of helplessness.

New Day Take
Meng Haoran [Tang Dynasty]
Last night the fight returned to the north, and this year the year began to the east.
I am strong in my old age, and I am still worried about the farmer.
Kuruno is the father of the cultivator, and the hoe follows the shepherd boy.
Tian Jia occupies the climate, and it is said that this year is abundant.
Meng Haoran hid in Lumen in his early years, befriended a large number of simple and kind farmers and elders, and at the same time directly participated in the field work. He has a deep affection for the countryside, and he is happy and bitter.
In 727 A.D., he was forty years old, and he was supposed to be a man of great achievement, but he still did not receive an official and a half-job.
Despite this, he still attaches great importance to agricultural affairs and cares very much.
Just after New Year's Day of the year, he worked side by side with the peasant fathers to promote knee rest.
He listened to the farmers speculate about this year's natural climate, saying that this year is a harvest year, and his heart is beautiful.
The soldiers have their own aspirations, the people have their own wishes, the year is full and the flowers are good, and the years and years of life are the best consolation.
The above are ten shepherd's poems shared, "A song in the flute is a song of ascension and peace, and then it is born without relief." In fact, in ancient Chinese poetry, the shepherd boy is almost comfortable, leisurely, and freely visualized.
Shepherd boys ride yellow bulls and play cheerful flutes, leading the retreating literati to find a spiritual home in the sunset spring breeze.
When the literati turned their aesthetic attention to the shepherd boys who did not understand the world, humanity, innocence, and tranquility were vividly expressed. For them, the shepherd boy in front of them is no longer a simple reproduction of reality, but an embodiment of their ideal life.
