I'm scared.
The unkempt child learns to hang the lun, and sits on the side of the berry moss.
Passers-by beckoned by asking Yao, and were so frightened that they were shocked.
A small child with unkempt hair is learning to fish, sitting sideways on the moss, with the green grass reflecting his figure.
When someone asked for directions, he beckoned his hand from afar, but he didn't dare to answer loudly for fear that the fish would be scared away.
Comment This poem pays attention to shaping the image, close to life, as if seeing the person and hearing the voice.
This is a poem about children's lives. In Tang poetry, there are very few subjects written about children, so they are valuable. One or two sentences focus on writing shapes, and three or four sentences focus on expressiveness.
"Lun" is fishing wire, and "Lun" is the "fishing" in the title, that is, fishing. The poet does not whitewash the appearance of this fishing child, and writes directly about the unkempt hair of the mountain child, which makes people feel natural and lovely, real and credible. "Sitting sideways" means to sit down at will.
This can also be imagined as a child concentrating on fishing without any formality. "Berry moss" refers to the lower plants that grow in the shade and damp places close to the ground, from the "berry moss" can not only know that the place where children choose to fish is in the place where the sun is rare and people are rarely reached, but also an ideal fishing place where the fish are not frightened and people are not exposed to the sun, which paves the way for the later "afraid of the fish". "Grass Reflection" is not just a portrait of children, it is structural, and it has a direct relationship with the "passer-by borrowing and asking" in the next sentence - passers-by ask him because they can see him.
The subject of "remote beckoning" in the last two sentences is still a child. The reason why he wanted to use action instead of answering was because he was afraid of startling the fish away. His gesture is "waving from afar", indicating that he is not indifferent to the questioning of passers-by.
After he "beckoned", how he whispered to the "passer-by" was something in the reader's imagination, and the poet had no need to explain, so after explaining the reason for "beckoning from afar", the poem came to an abrupt end.
Through the above brief analysis, it can be seen that although the first two sentences focus on the posture of children, "side sitting" and "berry moss" are not simple depictions of the scene; Although the last two sentences focus on the child's expression, there is still a vivid pen and ink describing the action in the third sentence. It is a masterpiece that blends scenes and depicts children with both form and spirit.
