The so-called national misfortune poet Xing, Nie Cyanobow was sent to the Northern Wilderness, personally unfortunate, but the poetry world is fortunate, he completely expanded the content of the poem, such as his various labors.
It is not that the ancients did not write about labor, but the ancients wrote labor as bystanders, taking a downward view, either lamenting the real suffering of the peasants, such as Li Shen's "Compassion for the Farmers", or sighing in life, sending chicken soup to the soul, such as watching others plant seedlings, lamenting what "retreating is originally forward", or using the peasants to lament the injustice of life, such as "the person who is full of Luoqi is not a silkworm keeper." Even more, people watch people work in the village and write poetry next to them, such as "I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song." Even if Tao Yuanming personally cultivates and is hungry, his labor is poetic, such as the famous poem: "Planting beans under the south mountain, grass is full of beans and seedlings." "It's exactly the feeling of a city person going to the country with a hoe to take a picture and send it to the circle of friends."
Nie Shuyi's "Northern Wild Grass" and "Northern Wild Grass Collection" wrote a lot of labor, such as rubbing grass rope, hoeing grass, planing frozen vegetables, carrying water, cutting potatoes, pushing and grinding, boiling water (not ordinary boiling a pot of water, it is boiling water for people who work in the field, this is a lot of work, although it is relatively easy to work), delivering food, herding horses, herding cattle, digging toilets, picking wheat ears, taking off adobe, cutting grass, draining, cutting trees, etc. Although I was born in the countryside and did a lot of farm work, Nie Lao's high talent has done more work than me.
After all, he was a reader, and he was not very good at farm work, so he said to his wife, "Please look at the nine-headed bird in the sky, transformed into a three-legged cat in the field." He likened himself to a three-legged cat of geography, but when he left the Northern Wilderness and returned, he wrote, "Since the plough hoe has made friends, how can the wind and snow damage the hood?" He had made friends with farm tools, and three years of wind and frost had not damaged me.
He wrote labor is completely different from the ancients, first of all, he wrote from the perspective of the laborer, what he wrote is what he felt, he wrote to carry water" This head is high and that is low, and the piece of wood can be flat and the surface of the barrel is rippled", it is completely the feeling of learning to carry water, can not grasp the balance, shake, the water in the bucket swings out, often pick the destination there is only half a bucket left, I will be going to put a large blade of grass in the water, so that it will not block too much ripple. He wrote about boiling water in the ground, writing: "I searched for residual snow and mud, and when I touched wet wood, I blew it with my mouth, and the ice in the open pot in the wind was not melted, and the old tears in the smoke fell first." "Writing to cut the grass" The long handle of the Dalian sickle is waved on all sides, and the tall grass in front of the eyes is fully written", and the feeling of cutting the grass with a knife is completely written.
Second, he was passionate about labor. If you only write about the feeling of labor, there is no love of labor, and even the rejection of labor, then the labor written out is a completely different picture, I have read the so-called scar memories of many famous artists, it seems that the farm work is a bitter and a tired, but he did not think, you were only sent down for a few years, those peasants worked in the fields all their lives, are they not bitter?
He wrote that the scene of everyone working overtime at night is very heroic: "The heroes of the three mountains and five mountains gather, and the snow and ice are busy day and night." Countless red flags fluttered outside, and a pile of bonfires shone in the center. If this is a bit too macroscopic, look at another version of the author: "You strike a shovel, the bonfire burns in the sky, the wind is cold and the people are hot, and the bottom of the river is getting lower and the bank is higher." ”
The most emblematic of this is also the poem he and WanZi dig up the toilet, he is not an ordinary public toilet now, ten meters long, three meters wide, two meters deep toilet, Nie Cyano crossbow said: "In ancient times, there was a King Of Yan Zhao, king Yan Zhao built a golden platform, put gold on it, recruited intellectuals, but unfortunately I did not have that luck." The friend said without anger: "I don't know what kind of golden platform, but I know that there was an emperor in ancient times, who specially dug a pit to bury such a multi-mouthed reader like you" They picked up the dung almost and exposed the bottom, the friend said that this is it, Nie Cyanotic crossbow still jumped down, continue to use the scoop. He said, "Clarify the affairs of the world, and be willing to forgive the filth into a pit?" ”
In fact, this poem has already shown the third point of Nie Lao's description of labor: interesting.
Elder Nie is very knowledgeable, and can always link the labor in front of him with history, or ridicule, or sigh, on the one hand, make the boring labor full of fun, on the other hand, he also takes the opportunity to sigh history. For example, to clarify the affairs of Wu Cao in the world, it is obvious that he is borrowing the words of Fan Huan written in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Climbing on the car and taking over the wheel, there is a desire to clarify the world", Nie Lao also claims to clarify the world, but in his eyes, cleaning the toilet is the first step to clarify the world, and it is the arrogance of sweeping the world without sweeping a house.
In the second poem about cleaning the toilet, he wrote about the way he sprinkled dung: "Hands scatter gold into dung, and the heavens descend on Cao Liu." Laughing at his stinky Sima Huan, he did not understand that the red flag was upstream. If you don't look at the first four sentences: "Where the source of fertilizer is not sought together, the wind comes and flows with cold sweat." Tianya's second old man even in March, the toilet thousand shovels to send a hundred sorrows" do not know that this is the author is writing the toilet, but also think that he is in the history of Yong, where to know that he and his old partner to dig the toilet thought of the two people really turned "gold" into dung, comparable to the world hero Cao Liu, he pulled out the Huan Wen who was called: "If it does not flow for thousands of years, it will be left behind for thousands of years", he thinks that the smell is not good, where he thinks that the stinky work of digging the toilet must also strive to go upstream (the so-called red flag is the famous three red flags at that time).
And he wrote the saying that cattle are herded: A whip is in the hand of the world, and all the people kiss the earth with their hearts. How heroic, where do you know that this is a cowboy. So the following sentence is "I feel that the country is grassy, and the country laughs at me for riding a bull!" He rode on the ox, and actually remembered Liu Bang, who immediately won the world, and sighed: "Immediately when you can get the world, the ox ride will only meet the family." Since he was riding on an ox, he naturally remembered Li Mi, who hung a book on the horn, he had no books to read, he could only sleep, but he was afraid of the cow running away: "Sleeping without a book and hanging a horn is good, and he is afraid of running the cow and fighting the horse's hooves." ”
The cattle are riding on the natural will think of riding the green bull over the Hangu Lao Tzu, he naturally does not complete the Hangu Pass, all he can do is to persuade these cattle to eat well and drink well, to the Hangu Pass can not have such a good turf and water" Qingniu this drink is particularly full, The Hangu Pass is high and lacks. ”
He went to pick up the ears of wheat and even remembered Tao Yuanming, who did not bend the waist for the five buckets of rice, because the wheat ears had to keep bending, Tao Yuanming did not bend the waist for the five buckets of rice, and today he and Wu Zuguang had to fold the waist for the five (read ge, a sound, a bucket of rice = a hundred) rice.
When he asked him to go to the horse horn at night to see the horses, he actually remembered Sima Qian, who wrote to people calling himself Niu Ma Go, saying that this slogan was originally incompatible with my horse and cow style, and he couldn't imagine that today it had something to do with it: Niu Ma Walk is too Shi Gong, and this number is related to my horse and cow wind. The ridicule of casually can make people can't help but be funny, and "Cutting Potatoes Hurts Hands", the blood on his hands stained potatoes red, he actually remembered red beans, red beans are the most acacia, he said himself: "If you want to plant acacia in the northern country, it is difficult to build China with your bare hands." "Finally" said in the mouth of the final shame, as a slight red to offer the country. ”
Don't think that Nie Lao is just shaking his wit, he is not a small literati, he has experienced the Northern Expedition, the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Liberation, he has been struggling in the literary and artistic front, he will not be like a small literati who will only complain about himself, he has a pattern in his chest, he has a country in his eyes, he has ten thousand volumes of books in his chest, he is helpless to wander in the grass, but he dares to forget the country, he has grand images in his poetry, such as "Rubbing the Grass Rope" He thinks of: "Tie the dragon to the north, and teach the red sun Moxi. This grass rope can be rubbed tightly, and the locomotive in the mud can be dragged. ”
He wrote even more heroically in the "Regulations on Drainage and Gifting Yao": "Crane-billed hoe with two teeth hook, red flag beckons gas to swallow cattle." Wasteland Hundred Battle Deer Who Hands, Shouting Leopard Head. Minus thirty degrees lower, the husband uses frost, what is the frozen soil? It is not required to stay according to the regulations. He wrote in the poem "Mai Duo": "The people of the world have no frost, and my brothers and sisters are at the mercy of the callus" - this is probably the original intention of joining the party at that time.
