The soldiers guarding the frontier have no food, and the industrious people are starving. Who sends the grain from the official warehouse to your mouth every day? Ironically, officials taught translation and annotation translation of 100 ancient poems.
The rats in the government granary are as big as a bucket of rice, and they don't run when they see someone opening the granary.
Soldiers guarding the frontier have no food, and hardworking people are starving. Who puts the grain in the official warehouse into your mouth every day?
The appreciation of this poem, such as the title, is about the mouse in the official warehouse. "Historical Records" Sima Qian's Biography of Lisi has such a record: "Lisi is a scholar of Chu State. When I was young, I was a small official in the county. I was terrified to see that the rat food in the toilet of the official residence was unclean and close to the dog. When you enter the warehouse, you can see the mice in the warehouse, eat millet, live under big guards, and see no worries of people and dogs. " So Lisnai sighed: "Man's virtue is like a mouse, in his own ears." The song "Official Hamster" should be inspired from here. In the year of famine, the official warehouse was full of grain, the rats ate fat like a bucket, and the soldiers went hungry. The anger of the poet in this poem exposes this phenomenon. When he questioned the official hamster, he actually condemned corrupt officials, big and small.
The first two sentences of the poem seem dull and slightly exaggerated, but they vividly outline the characteristics and habits of the official hamster that are different from ordinary mice. As we all know, mice have always been known as "small" and "timid". They stay up all night and run when they see people, so there is a saying that "big beasts are not afraid of tigers and small beasts are not afraid of rats". However, official hamsters are unusual: they are not only "big"-"official hamsters are as big as a bucket"; There is also "courage"-"Don't leave when you see someone opening a warehouse." As for why the official hamster can do this, the poet did not say much, but its meaning is not difficult to understand: "big" is the result of eating enough and accumulating millet; Courage means that no one will punish them, so don't run when you see someone.
The third sentence was suddenly written from "mouse" to "human": "Athletes have no food and people are starving." The rats in the official warehouse are fat and big, while the soldiers guarding the frontier in front and the people working hard all the year round in the rear are still starving. In sharp contrast, the poet suddenly showed the reader a shocking contradiction. Faced with the social reality that people are not as good as mice, the fourth question blurts out: "Who put North Korea in your mouth?" At this point, the metaphorical meaning of this poem is very clear. The official hamster is a metaphor for corrupt officials who only know how to suck the blood and sweat of the people; These two-legged "rats" swallowed not only food, but people's cream. What makes people particularly indignant is that the official hamster can hide behind his back after doing so many bad things. There must be someone behind it. "Who put Chaochao in your mouth?" The poet insisted on asking questions, which were endless. The word "who" is beautifully written and makes people think deeply. It consciously guides readers to explore the root of this unreasonable phenomenon and points the finger at the supreme ruler. The theme is very clear.
This kind of writing, which takes rats as a metaphor and satirizes exploiters, existed as early as the Book of Songs, Feng Wei's Remarks on Sparseness. However, in Storytelling, the poet repeatedly yearns for a non-existent paradise, a village and a suburb, while Guan Hamster can face the reality directly and guide people to explore the root of suffering, which is more intense emotionally. This is a development.
