It's the season suitable for picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River. Lotus leaves surfaced, squeezed, overlapped and fluttered with the wind. Beneath the thick lotus leaves, cheerful fish are constantly playing.
I stayed here for a while, and then I suddenly swam there. I don't know whether it is in the east, west, south or north.
Translation and annotation II translation
Lotus can be picked on the water in the south of the Yangtze River, with lush lotus leaves and fish playing in them.
Fish plays lotus leaf east, fish plays lotus leaf west, fish plays lotus leaf south and fish plays lotus leaf north.
Appreciate that this is a lotus picking song, which reflects the lotus picking scene and the happy mood of the lotus pickers. It has a unique flavor in the folk songs of Han Yuefu.
Folk songs draw a beautiful picture with concise and lively language, repetitive tone, beautiful and meaningful artistic conception and fresh and lively style. The endless green lotus leaves, the fish playing freely and happily under the lotus leaves, and the laughter and laughter of strong men, handsome men and beautiful women picking lotus on the boat cutting the lotus pond on the water, the sweet voice, what a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River! What a quiet and vivid scene! From a cultural point of view, we will find that this is a love song, which implies that young men and women play with each other and pursue love. Look at those fish, swimming around and hiding between lotus leaves. How can you not think of the "big girl walking into the green tent" in the north?
After reading this poem, it seems that a fresh summer is coming, and it is refreshing to think about it. Not only that, we felt the poet's peaceful feelings and our mood became relaxed.
Appreciate this is a lotus-picking song in Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty. The whole poem does not directly describe the happy mood of lotus pickers, but fully reveals their joy through the description of lotus leaves and fish, as if hearing and seeing many lotus pickers singing and laughing with their own eyes, and many boys and lotus pickers are still flirting and courting.
First of all, the song begins with the sentence "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River", in which the word "Ke" has revealed the information. Lotus was originally a common cultivated plant in Zegoutang, a lake in the south of the Yangtze River, but the singer (that is, the protagonist in the poem) insisted that "lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River", because although the lotus cultivation area is very wide, it is the most prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River; Most lotus pickers in Jiangnan are young men and women, especially young women; At the same time, the folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River are soft, and it is very common for young men and women to flirt for love when picking lotus, so the folk love songs prevailing in the Southern Dynasties are actually very popular in the south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty. In this kind of folk love songs, metaphors and puns are often used. "Lotus" and "pity" are homophonic, symbolizing love. Obviously, this song is also a metaphor and pun. The word "picking lotus" in the first sentence also means having fun and courtship. It can be inferred that this singer is a romantic minority. He may not be from Jiangnan, but from other places. He came to Jiangnan to pick lotus seeds, but it was actually "the meaning of drunkenness is not wine." Otherwise, he can't pick lotus flowers and stay in Jiangnan alone, which shows the meaning of the word "guest".
Secondly, the second sentence, "Lotus Leaf Tian Tian", from the previous sentence, is obviously a beautiful lotus leaf, which is a metaphor for a large number of girls picking lotus leaves with beautiful posture. The third sentence "Fish playing between lotus leaves" and the last four sentences "Fish playing with lotus leaves in the east, fish playing with lotus leaves in the west, fish playing with lotus leaves in the south and fish playing with lotus leaves in the north" are metaphors of happy scenes in which men and women flirt for love. This is also a common expression in folk love songs. It can be seen that this lotus picking song is actually a love song that combines labor.
This song has only seven sentences, which are as clear as words. The last four sentences are basically the repetition of the third sentence. Its beauty lies mainly in the use of comparison and pun, which are common in folk songs, and the joy of flirting between men and women is extremely euphemistic, implicit and intriguing, without the disadvantages of frivolous and vulgar. The whole poem is completed in one go, but it can be divided into two parts in structure: the first three sentences reveal the theme; The last four sentences further show the joyful scene and broad scene when picking lotus. The third sentence in the poem plays a connecting role in the whole poem, connecting the upper and lower without trace. The artistic conception of the poem is fresh and cheerful, the mood is in the scene, and people are in the scene, such as hearing their voices and seeing their people, picturesque and relaxed, showing a scene full of business.
In the classification of Yuefu, this poem belongs to the "harmony song", which is originally a song sung by two people or by everyone, so the four sentences of "fish beating lotus leaves" may be the harmony song. Therefore, the first two sentences of the poem may be sung by male singers; The third sentence is male and female chorus; The last four sentences should be sung by men and women in groups. In this way, the scene of picking lotus is more vivid and interesting, and the mystery of this song can be better understood.
It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing. I'm not afraid of fractures. I want to leave my innocence in the world. (1) A thousand blows out of the deep mountain/a thousand blows out of the deep mountain) (1) Don't hesitate to break bones/not afraid of breaking bones/not afraid of breaking bones) —— Ode to Lime by Yu Qian in Ming Dynasty

It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing.
