In winter, a child is making ice, describing the fun of water freezing in the basin.
From: Young children make ice Yang Wanli [Song Dynasty]
The youngest son has no ice in the golden basin, and the colored silk is worn as a silver pheasant.
Tap the ice gently, the sound of wood passing through the forest. When the viewer is absorbed in the sound of wood, he suddenly hears another sound-the sound of ice falling to the ground, such as the sound of broken glass.
When the children get up in the morning, they pick the ice cubes frozen in copper pots and wear them with colored threads as pheasants. The sound of knocking went through the Woods like jade Qing, and suddenly the ice gong broke and fell to the ground, making a beautiful sound like jade.
Introduction and Appreciation of Works A Child Making Ice is the work of Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The four sentences in the whole poem describe a naive and poetic scene of "performing ice" for readers from the psychological characteristics of children's naive love of playing.
The whole poem highlights a "naive" word. Childishness and fun can make a child forget the cold in winter and keep his vitality and happiness as always. There are many similarities in psychological characteristics between children and the elderly, and only in this way can the scene of children "performing ice" be meaningful in the eyes of the elderly.
It is based on this psychological characteristic that the young and the old are interlinked that Yang Wanli turned childlike interest into poetic interest through the technique of "taking the young as the old". On the one hand, he described the details of the "deicing" action from the perspective of children's psychology; On the other hand, based on the psychology of the world, we should feel and appreciate the details of their behavior, so that the childishness of children and the "naivety" of the old people can set each other off and become poetic. Only when the poet sincerely respects the innocence of children can he describe their interest in playing ice so vividly.
