Chapter 33: A Quatrain Poem of Five Words and Seven Words
There are many, many stories about the Great Wall of Huaxia, among which the popular and well-known one is this Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.
This story has even become one of the four major folk love stories in China.
Later, Meng Jiangnu was wearing cold clothes, after hardships, thousands of miles to find her husband and came to the Great Wall, but Meng Jiangnu finally got the bad news that her husband had died, and finally Meng Jiangnu suffered under the city, and cried for three days and three nights, this section of the Great Wall collapsed, and then the body of Fan Xiliang was exposed under the Great Wall. ”
Ye Xuan finally finished telling the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.
It's a tragic love story, and the ending isn't so perfect.
"Baba, Meng Jiangnu is so miserable. ”
"Daddy, is this a tragic story?"
"Meng Jiangnu loves Fan Xiliang so much, if only her father could love her mother so much. ”
After listening to the story, the three cute little guys sighed with emotion.
Qian Qian and Xiao Xin both sighed with emotion, but Yuzu even thought of Ye Xuan and Han Yuyun because of this.
"Mr. Ye, the gate of the Great Wall Scenic Area has arrived. ”
Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan was about to say something to the children, the driver stopped the car and turned around and said to Ye Xuan.
"Baby, the Great Wall has arrived, welcome to the Great Wall!"
After Ye Xuan got out of the car, he took the little ones out, and then asked the driver to park the car, and then Ye Xuan took the baby daughters to the ticket window to buy tickets.
Although the Great Wall Scenic Area near Kyoto City is a famous scenic spot in China, the flow of people is not large on weekdays and weekends.
When the flow of people in the Great Wall Scenic Area is relatively large, it is mainly concentrated in big holidays such as the National Day Golden Week.
It took Ye Xuan a few minutes to buy tickets for the scenic spot.
"Baby, we're going to climb the Great Wall, are you ready?"
Before starting to climb the Great Wall, Ye Xuan was ready to cheer up the children, after all, they were all little dolls, and it took a certain amount of physical strength to visit the Great Wall scenic spot.
"Well, Baba, I'm ready. ”
"Me too. ”
"Yuzu won't back down. ”
The faces of the three cute little ones are full of confidence.
"Then let's go!"
Ye Xuan bought a small red flag from a stall at the entrance of the scenic spot, and then held the small red flag, and said to the three baby daughters like a tour guide: "Next, Dad will take you to the Great Wall, one of the symbols of Chinese civilization." ”
The three little ones were very well-behaved and followed behind their father, looking around from time to time.
"Dabi, there are so many mountains over there, so many. Xiaoxin pointed to the mountain peak not far away.
"Baby, those many, many peaks, we can describe them as "rolling and undulating". ”
"Years of bullying. ”
"Undulating, come to Xiaoxin, read with me, undulating. ”
"The face is undulating. ”
"Continuous, one, two. Ye Xuan tirelessly taught Xiaoxin how to pronounce this idiom.
"Daddy, what do you mean by rolling and undulating?" asked Xiao Xin blankly.
Ye Xuanleng paused, a little depressed, she had just taught Xiaoxin a lot of mountains that could be called rolling hills, but she didn't know how to push back.
"Xiaoxin, you stupid, rolling is a description of a lot of mountains. Yuzu knocked Xiaoxin on the head.
"Hmph, Xiaoxin is not stupid, Xiaoxin can play the piano. Xiaoxin said proudly.
"What else would you do besides playing the piano?" asked Yuzu.
"Yes, I can also memorize ancient poems. Xiao Xin pouted and said, "One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers." ”
When Ye Xuan heard this, he glanced at his baby daughter Xiaoxin, the sentence she read, is it a poem?
"Xiaoxin, you're not a poem at all. Sissi corrected Xiaoxin's mistake.
"Why isn't it poetry?" asked Xiaoxin suspiciously.
"The poem is like this. Sissi stood on the steps of the Great Wall, and read like a poet: "I don't know when I sleep in spring, I hear birds everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and how many flowers fall." ”
"Me too. Xiaoxin tilted her head, very proud.
"Can you memorize this poem?"
"Absolutely. Xiaoxin said confidently: "I don't know when I sleep in spring, I hear birds crying everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and how many flowers fall." ”
"Baby, have you memorized this poem?" Ye Xuan couldn't imagine that his two baby daughters would memorize this Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn".
"Nope. Xiaoxin shook her head.
"Then baby, how can you memorize this poem?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
Xiaoxin replied to her father with a childish face: "Dad, because Sissi memorized it just now, and then I memorized it." ”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
It stands to reason that such a Tang poem, for a four-and-a-half-year-old child, will take a little time to memorize.
Sissi can memorize this "Spring Dawn", Ye Xuan is not surprised at all, after all, Sissi can even memorize some more difficult ancient poems.
But Xiaoxin didn't know this "Spring Dawn", just by listening to Sissi recite it, she would memorize it.
This memory is amazing!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan remembered that when he was in the Ocean Restaurant yesterday, Ye Xuan played a piano song "Summer". As a result, Xiaoxin was able to play the same song "Summer" according to Ye Xuan's appearance, and now Ye Xuan realized that Xiaoxin looked a little cute and cute, but in fact, Xiaoxin had an extraordinary memory and learning ability.
"Xiaoxin, Sissi, you guys are awesome. Ye Xuan praised the two baby daughters.
"Baba, do you also know ancient poems, are there any ancient poems about the Great Wall? Sissi was so excited that she took her father's hand.
"Of course there is. ”
Ye Xuan said with a smile: "Dad, I'll give you a song "Out of the Stopper" by a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Ye Xuan stood on the edge of the Great Wall, facing the undulating mountains, and recited softly: "In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not yet returned, but the dragon city will fly and will not teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain." ”
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Yuzu let out a "huh".
"Hmm, what's wrong with the baby?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
"Dad, why are there two more words?" Yuzu gestured his fingers: "Isn't there only five words in each poem?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard his daughter's doubts, and then quickly explained: "Baby, the poem "Spring Dawn" just now is a five-character quatrain, and the poem "Out of the Stopper" read by Dad is a seven-word quatrain. ”
"Baba, what is a five-character quatrain, and what is a seven-character quatrain?" asked Sissi with a confused expression.
Even though Sissi has read more books and knows more things, she still doesn't know the quatrains.
"Quatrain, is a kind of Tang Dynasty popular poetry carrier, four sentences a poem, five words quatrain and seven words quatrain, are one of the quatrains, in short, the five-word quatrain is the five-word quatrain, the seven-character quatrain is the seven-word quatrain. ”
Ye Xuan explained in the most concise way, and the three precious daughters should be able to understand.
