Appreciation of selling charcoal Weng

The first four sentences of this poem are difficult to write about selling charcoal. "Reducing salary and burning charcoal" summarizes the complicated working procedures and the long labor process. "His face is covered with dust and fireworks, his temples are gray and his fingers are black." He vividly described the portrait of the charcoal seller, wrote the hardships of labor, and also got the image performance. "In Nanshan" highlights the workplace. This "Nanshan" is the Zhongnan Mountain described by Wang Wei as "there is no door to stay at night and call the woodcutter in Jiang Lai", where jackals haunt and are desolate. In such an environment, the cornices in Dai Yue are covered with frost and snow, one by one, the salary is reduced, and one kiln is burning charcoal. It is easy to burn "more than a thousand kilograms", and every kilogram is filled with painstaking efforts and condensed with hope. Writing to a charcoal seller is the result of his efforts, which distinguishes him from charcoal sellers. However, if this charcoal seller still has land, planting and harvesting by himself will not be hungry and cold, and only use his spare time to burn charcoal and sell it to subsidize his family, then his burden of charcoal will be plundered and there will be other ways to live. But this is not the case. The genius of the poet lies in that he did not personally introduce the family economic situation of the charcoal seller to the readers, but set it as a question and answer: "What is the business of selling charcoal to sell money?" Wear clothes and eat in your mouth. "This question and answer not only turned the board into a living thing, but also made the literary situation ups and downs, swaying and swaying, expanding the depth and breadth of reflecting the sufferings of the people, and making readers clearly see that this laborer has been exploited to poverty and destitution;" The clothes on his body and the food in his mouth all hope that the thousands of kilograms of charcoal he worked so hard to burn can fetch a good price. This laid a solid foundation for later writing the crime of imperial envoys plundering charcoal.

"The poor man's clothes are just ordinary. He is worried about charcoal and hopes it is cold." These two poems describe the difficult situation and complex inner contradictions of charcoal sellers in a sympathetic tone. At that time, it was the winter season of "a foot of snow outside the city at night". The old man wearing only a thin coat should be looking forward to the warm weather, but he is looking forward to the cold weather, because when the weather is warm, his charcoal is worthless. Only one psychological activity of the old man was written in the two poems, which effectively revealed the suffering of the working people who were struggling with hunger and cold at that time.

"Come to a foot of snow outside the city at night and drive a charcoal car to roll on the ice." Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and it suddenly began to snow at night, and it was "one foot thick", so it was cold enough. So the old man drove the ox cart to the market along the icy driveway early in the morning. "The cow is sleepy and hungry, resting in the mud outside the south gate." He hoped to get a good price, so he came early. At this time, the market door has not been opened, so he has to rest in the mud outside. The man is hungry and the cow pulling the cart is tired, but his heart is happy and full of hope, and he can almost buy winter clothes as he wishes. After reading this article, readers may sympathize with him wearing only thin clothes in cold weather, but they will not be happy for him when they think that his charcoal may fetch a good price.

However, something unexpected happened in the sky. Just as the charcoal seller was thinking about how to get a good price, two riders came in the distance. It turned out to be the "yellow messenger white shirt". The word "Pian Pian" was originally used to describe Shuai Guo, but it was used here with irony and sarcasm, exposing the arrogant faces of these two eunuchs. Because it was sent by the emperor, it was called "messenger". Holding high the proclamation issued by the emperor in their hands, they declared the emperor's order, jumped into the air, forcibly turned the front of the car and drove the old cow to the palace. Thousands of kilograms of charcoal were taken away by eunuchs, leaving only half a red yarn and a silk for the old man. Silk and other silks were often used as universal equivalents, rather than money, in commodity transactions in the Tang Dynasty. When the imperial court buys goods, it is often calculated according to the official price of silk, not according to the actual price popular among the people. Therefore, the eunuch paid more than 1,000 Jin of charcoal money with only half a piece of yarn, which is actually equal to forced plunder. After reading this, I can't help but think of another poem by the poet, Su Zige Shanbei Village, which describes the barbaric acts of the Shence Army mastered by eunuchs and plunders the property of the people like robbers. They all serve the court officials, but their common feature is that they forcibly plunder folk property regardless of the lives of ordinary people.

From "Nanshan Middle School" to Chang 'an City, the road is so far and difficult to walk. When the charcoal seller "rested in the mud outside the south gate", it was already "the cows were trapped and the people were hungry"; Now it's "going back to the car and scolding the cows for taking them north" and sending charcoal to the palace. Of course, cows are more sleepy and people are more hungry. So, when the charcoal seller goes back to Zhong Nanshan hungry, what will he think and how will he live in the future? All this is not written by the poet, but what readers can't help thinking. When thinking about all this, we can't help but sympathize with the experience of charcoal sellers and hate the sins of rulers. The original intention of the poet to create Miyagi has achieved the expected results.

The artistic feature of this poem lies in the successful use of line drawing techniques. The author didn't comment throughout, talking about what kind of suffering the court market brought to the people and how difficult it was for the people to live under such barbaric plunder. However, through the story of an old man selling charcoal, suffering, burning charcoal, selling charcoal and robbing a charcoal car, he told people a tearful and tragic story, vividly telling people about the experience of the old man and the suffering brought to the people by the court market, thus making people more clearly and profoundly aware of the reality of class opposition at that time and arousing people's strong love-hate relationship. This is an artistic effect that the author can't achieve no matter how he discusses it.

Secondly, the description of the characters in the poem is exquisite and lifelike, which makes people strongly infected from the image. One is the description of the appearance of the characters, and the other is the description of the inner world. Let me see, "my face is covered with dust and fireworks, my temples are gray and my fingers are black." The simple and affectionate fourteen words vividly outline the hardship, poverty, aging and suffering of the old charcoal seller, which makes people feel sorry for him. "Poor people wear simple clothes, worry about charcoal, and wish the weather is cold" is another simple and affectionate fourteen words, which deeply and delicately describes the old people's psychology of shrinking, bending, contradiction and seeking. People seem to see an old man huddled in a corner shivering with cold, thinking and planning his poor life sadly. Thus, it is more touching and makes people feel how unfair the cruel reality is to the elderly!
