Fortune teller _ Year of the Rat

Storytelling is from Feng Wei's Storytelling in The Book of Songs.

Wei Feng tells stories.

Feng Wei Shuo is a poem in China's ancient realistic poetry collection The Book of Songs. This poem reflects the workers' hatred for the insatiable exploiter and their yearning for a better life. The poet vividly compares the exploiters to fat and big mice, showing their greed, slick and cunning.

Never consider other people's lives, so that workers can not continue to live here, but to find their own ideal paradise. The whole poem consists of three chapters, with eight sentences in each chapter. It is purely a metaphor, accurate and appropriate, and straightforward in meaning. In emotional expression, there is a wonderful feeling of singing and sighing.

Feng Wei Shuo is a poem accusing the exploiters of ancient and modern times, but it is different in the specific object of accusation. "Preface to Mao Poetry" says: To master a book, the thorn is heavy and the convergence is also. China people stab their monarch, eat their people, don't fix their politics, are greedy and afraid of people, if they are rats. "Zhu's Preface to Poetry": "This is also due to Shuo's criticism of his words, which does not necessarily mean that Shuo is superior to his monarch. "

Since mankind entered the class society, the anti-exploitation struggle of the exploited class has never stopped. In slave society, escape is the main form of slave resistance, and there are records of "losing people" and "losing their people" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Shang Dynasty.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, with the decline of slavery, slaves developed from escape to mass struggle. For example, in Zuo Zhuan, there are thieves in Zheng Guo and builders in Chen Guo. The poem Feng Wei Shuo Shu came into being under this historical background. There is an ancient saying that this poem was written when Ji was dying.

Knowledge expansion:

This poem is purely metaphorical and accurate, and it is very appropriate to compare the exploiter to a big mouse that everyone hates. There are only three such poems in The Book of Songs. Together with this one, the other two are Nan Zhou Owl and A Wind Owl. The common feature of these three songs is that things imitate people, but this one is slightly different.

The other two poems can be regarded as allegorical poems, all of which are metaphors, and their meanings are all chanting things. Although the metaphor of the mouse used by the exploiter is the same as that of the owl used by the wicked, in the second half of the novel, birds are still used to accuse the owl, and the implication is contained in the overall image, which is easy to produce differences in understanding.

In the second half of this paper, people tell mice, which means straightforward, and vehicles and metaphors basically correspond to each other. In Preface to Mao's Poems, mice are insatiable and afraid of people, and those who get them "eat from people" ... if mice are also ",and their understanding of meaning after two thousand years is very similar to that of people today, which is the reason.
