Some people say that each of us came out of the countryside, so everyone subconsciously has a dream of returning to the countryside, and when they see those rural anchors living freely and leisurely in the countryside every day, they will always touch the inner yearning for that pure and fresh world.
This is true of today's people, and it is also true of the ancients. After many years of crossing the official field and the battlefield, many ancient poets whisked away their clothes after "the king's world affairs", unloaded their armor and returned to the field, returned to nature, and found a paradise to enjoy life quietly.
The clean air and beautiful landscapes and lakes greatly stimulate their senses, and the zero-distance contact with rural life allows them to appreciate the suffering of the people, feel the simple rural feelings of the people, and promote their sublimation in the creation of poetry.
For example, Tao Yuanming of "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain";
For example, Meng Haoran of "Sangye is the father of the cultivator, and the lotus hoe follows the shepherd boy";
For example, Wang Wei, who "sits alone in the fence, plays the piano and whistles for a long time";
For example, Chu Guangxi of "Sunset Waiting for Lover, Weizhou Green Poplar Bank";
For example, today we want to recite this small poem written in the rain by Wang Jian, a great poet from the Tang Dynasty, which closely combines the pastoral labor life with poetry and painting, which can be called a classic.

Rain over the mountain village
Wang Jian (Tang Dynasty)
In the rain, the chickens chirped one or two, and the Zhuxi Village Road Banqiao sloped.
The woman and the nun summoned the silkworm to go and idly watch the gardenia flowers in the atrium.
Wang Jian
Wang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, born in 768 AD, died in 835 AD, was a native of Yingchuan (present-day Xuchang, Henan), friendly with Zhang, and was known as Zhang Wang Lefu.
Wang Jian was born in poverty, and after passing the examination, he served in the army for more than ten years, also worked as some petty officials, came into contact with the toiling masses at the lowest level, and also established the singing and writings of celebrities such as Zhang Yuan, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, and Liu Yuxi. Therefore, Wang Jian's poems are very extensive, from rural scenes to border customs, from poor people to officials and nobles, all of which are described. In addition, Wang Jian had a brother of the same clan who was a eunuch in the palace, and he knew more about the scenery in the palace and the life of the palace women, so he also wrote a lot of poems describing the court.
Wang Jian's poems, known for their white depictions, are less subjective and less subjective, and through the direct description of scenery or characters, put the artistic conception outside the poem, so that the poet can taste it himself. This poem "Rain Over the Mountain Village" is a poem written by Wang Jian when passing through a small mountain village, which is fresh and vivid to read, and has a strong atmosphere of rural life, reflecting the poet's sympathy for the peasants and his yearning for rural life.
"Chickens chirping in the rain.". At the beginning of the poem, the flavor of the mountain village is revealed, which first comes from the sound of chickens. "Chicken singing mulberry tree upside down" is one of the characteristics of the village, in the rainy day, the alternating light and dark of the sky, will make the rooster misjudged, the day will be bright will crow. "One or two", pointing out that the number of people in mountain villages is not much. The sky was blue, the rain was pouring, and a few families scattered in the mountain forest, sometimes the chickens chirped once or twice.
"Zhuxi Village Road Banqiao Slope". Here, through several intentional depictions, the depth of the mountain village is written. "Bamboo Creek", "Village Road" and "Banqiao" are like indicators, allowing readers to follow step by step and experience the feeling of walking in the mountains in the rain. Along the path where the snake was broken, I came to a small bridge. This bridge is not the kind of imposing bridge, or even the carefully constructed stone beams, but the "board bridge" made of wooden planks that the mountain people randomly use to drag. The mountain people are still simple, the mountain stream is not large, and there is no need to be extravagant. From the perspective of beauty, there is only a horizontal and oblique banqiao in this "Zhuxi Village Road", which is called natural natural.
"Women and aunts call each other to bathe silkworms to go". "Bath silkworm" refers to the ancient use of salt water to select silkworm species. According to the Zhou Li "Forbidden Silkworm" annotation to the "Book of Silkworms": "Silkworms are dragon essences, and the moon-value fire bathes its seeds." "The fire refers to February, which shows that it is in the middle of spring. The author of this sentence turns from the scenery to the agricultural affairs, in this simple mountain village, the women and girls call each other, how kind, as members of the same family, how harmonious the relationship, the plan of the year lies in the spring, they greet each other to choose silkworm seeds, take advantage of the spring light to cultivate early.
In the countryside, there were few idle people in April, so they planted silkworm mulberries and planted fields. In the third sentence, bathing silkworms in the rain makes the farmhouse atmosphere in the busy season more flavorful. But the poet was intent on the icing on the cake, and wrote the last sentence with a clever pen: "Idle look at the gardenia in the atrium." In fact, no one is "idle", but he does not say it positively, but he has to write from the back and side. Using "idle" to line busy, through the "idle" of gardenia flowers to set off the scene that people are very busy, the interest is particularly great. At the same time, the poet made "gardenia", which was rich and full of poetry. The rain gardenia is rising, and the imagery is beautiful enough. In addition, it should be noted that this flower is a "concentric flower", which has always been used as a symbol of love in the poem, so the young girl and the young woman are very fond of picking this plain flower. This poem writes that gardenia flowers are not picked, mainly to show that the spring is busy with agriculture, and it seems to have nothing to do with the meaning of "concentricity". But this just shows from the other side that there is no "idle" kung fu of talking about love during the busy season of farming, so the meaning of the flower is forgotten. This subtle ending is really brilliant and swaying. Previous generations have commented on the last sentence of this poem: "The ingenuity of the mind, the beauty of the words, the most easy to enlighten people."
In this poem, the poet grasps the characteristics of mountain villages everywhere, especially the love affairs of labor life to write, from scenery to people, and then from people to the environment, all exude a rich atmosphere of life; its fresh and vivid language, fresh and beautiful imagery, but also make people tired of reading.
