Interpretation: The hundreds of mosquitoes turned into cranes;

Original text:

I recall that when I was a child, I could open my eyes to the sun and see clearly. When you see a small thing, you will carefully examine its texture, so there is always an interest in things.

Mosquitoes turn into thunder in the summer. I secretly imagine a group of cranes dancing in the sky. Wherever I want to go, there will be thousands or hundreds of cranes. Sure enough, they are cranes. If I look up at them, my neck will be strong. He also left mosquitoes under the plain tent and sprayed smoke slowly, causing them to fly away against the smoke. They looked like a blue cloud and white cranes, and they looked like cranes in the sky, which made them happy and happy.

I often squat on the concave and convex places on the earthen wall or on the flower bed, so that it is flush with the platform; I look carefully and see the grass as a forest, the insects and ants as beasts, and the earth and gravel as protrusions. It is a hill, and the concave ones are gullies. The mind wanders among them, enjoying itself.

One day, I saw two insects fighting among the grass. I was very excited when I suddenly saw a huge thing. It uprooted the mountain and fell the tree. It covered it with a toad. It spit out its tongue and all the two insects were eaten. swallow. When I was young, I was lost in thought and was startled. He was calm, caught the shrimps and toads, whipped them dozens of times, and drove them away to other courtyards.

Interpretation:

I recall that as a child, I could open my eyes and look at the sun and see the smallest things clearly. When I see small things, I will definitely observe their texture carefully. Sure enough, they are like cranes chirping in the blue clouds, and mosquitoes make thunderous noises in summer. I secretly compare them to a group of cranes flying in the sky. I think so, what a success. As expected, hundreds of mosquitoes turned into cranes;

I raised my head to look at them, and my neck became stiff. I left a few mosquitoes in the tent, slowly sprayed them with smoke, and let them fly and scream into the smoke. I regarded it as a landscape of blue clouds and white cranes, and sure enough, they all turned into cranes. He clapped his hands with joy at the sight.

I often squat down in places where the earth walls are uneven or where the flower bed is overgrown with weeds, so that I am level with the flower bed; I observe attentively, treating the grass as a forest and the bugs and ants as trees. Wild animals regard the protruding parts of the soil as hills and the concave parts as valleys. I played in them and felt very relaxed and comfortable. One day, I saw two small insects fighting among the grass.

Squatting I came down to observe them. I was very interested. Suddenly, a huge guy came over, overturned the mountain and crushed the tree. He caught the toad, stuck out his tongue, and it ate both insects. I was very young at the time, and I was fascinated by what I saw, and I couldn't help but scream "Ah". When he calmed down, he caught the toad, whipped it dozens of times, and drove it to another yard.

Appreciation:

The author recalls his childhood life, reflecting children's rich imagination and innocent childlike interest. The full text can be divided into two parts.

The first part (paragraph 1) always writes that in childhood, he had keen vision, liked to observe things carefully, and often had unexpected fun.

"Being able to look at the sun and see clearly" not only reflects the child's keen vision, but also shows the child's childishness and innocence. "When you see small things, you must carefully examine their textures." It shows that the author was good at observing small things carefully when he was a child, and he could see the wonderful things in small things that others could not see, which gave him a transcendent pleasure.

The second part (from the second paragraph to the end of the article) specifically writes about the curiosity of observing scenery in childhood.

First write about the fun of observing mosquitoes flying in summer. "Summer mosquitoes turn into thunder" is an exaggeration and a metaphor. Here, "I" associates the sound of thunder from the similarity between the buzzing sound of mosquitoes and the muffled sound of thunder. Comparing mosquitoes to cranes also means that mosquitoes are similar in shape and length to cranes, which is what children associate with them.

These associations not only echo the words in the first part, "If you see something small and small, you must carefully 'observe its texture'", but also pave the way for the following. "Wherever the heart desires, there are thousands or hundreds of them, and they are indeed cranes." I thought to myself, and the sight of flying cranes appeared in front of my eyes.

This is an imagination based on the previous association. This is exactly the "interest outside things". And "Leave mosquitoes in the tent, spray smoke slowly, make them fly into the smoke, and watch the white cranes in the blue clouds. They are like cranes chirping in the clouds, and I am delighted with them." This is also the creative association and imagination of "I". It further reflects the interest outside the object.

At the same time, it also reflects that "I" have rich knowledge, but the scope of activities is narrow. I have no opportunity and conditions to come into contact with the real scene of "Qingyun White Crane". With my rich imagination, I can still appreciate what is depicted in the pictures in the book. The real scene of "Qingyun White Crane". Then write about "I"'s pleasure in observing the earth walls, flower beds and the fights between insects.

Here it is written that "I" observes the vegetation on the flowerbed, "taking the grass as a forest and insects and mosquitoes as animals" and wandering around in it, which still expresses the "interest outside of things". The story of watching insects fighting and driving away shrimps and toads not only closely follows the word "interesting" to show that "I" are fascinated by observation, but also expresses the true loveliness and innocence of "I".
