I. Introduction to the author

Bai Juyi (772-846), whose real name was Lotte, was later named as a Buddhist in Xiangshan. Poets in Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi is one of the leaders of the New Yuefu Movement. Put forward the slogan "articles should be written at the right time, songs and poems should be written at the right time", and advocate that poetry must serve politics. It emphasizes the unity of content and form, and form serves content, thus establishing realistic poetry theory. His satirical poems reflect the extensive contradictions and prominent disadvantages in the middle Tang society, and practice his own theoretical proposition. Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa Journey are two outstanding narrative poems, which represent the highest achievement of Bai Juyi's poetic art.

Second, overall perception.

This is a narrative poem with strong allegorical color. At the beginning of the poem, explain the time and background first. Farmers who work all year round are busier in the wheat harvest season in May. At this time, women and children braved the scorching sun and came to the field to deliver food and water to people who were harvesting wheat. The men are burying their heads in cutting wheat. They are fumigated in the heat under their feet and baked in the hot sun on their backs. Although they were exhausted, they completely ignored it. They just want to do more work while the summer lasts. This is a panoramic view. In this context, another sad scene is described: a woman holding a child and holding a broken basket is picking wheat by the wheat harvester. Why are you picking wheat? Because her field has "lost all taxes"-why did it sell out after paying the official tax? Now there is no land to plant and no wheat to harvest, so we have to rely on wheat to satisfy our hunger. These two scenes are intertwined, with both differences and connections: the former reveals the hardships of farmers, while the latter reveals heavy taxes. Since heavy taxes make poor women lose their fields, farmers who are harvesting wheat will also lose their fields. Today's wheat pickers are yesterday's wheat pickers; And today's' wheat harvester' may also become tomorrow's wheat harvester. The irony is strong and self-evident.

The poet associated the ease of his life with the pain of farmers' life, and felt ashamed and could not be calm for a long time. So I use a pen to praise it, express my deep sympathy for farmers, and hope to attract the attention of politicians.

Although there is not much pen and ink in this poem, it vividly depicts the hard and extremely painful life scenes and inner feelings of wheat harvesters and wheat pickers during the summer harvest.
