Poetry Appreciation of OX Zodiac

Cattle is an animal closely related to human existence. The hard work of the cow and the honesty and integrity of the cow are touching.

In the poet’s pen, the cow is either a performer of pastoral songs or a devotee who bears humiliation.

Sick cow

(Song) Li Gang

Thousands of acres of ploughs and thousands of boxes, who will recover if they are exhausted?

But when all sentient beings are satisfied, they will lie down in the setting sun regardless of illness.

Commentary: Who cares about a cow who has worked hard all his life? When it is old and sick, it is still praying that “all living beings will be satisfied”. On the body of this “sick cow” who only wants to pay, not to return, there is a big word – “people”.

chile song

Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The sky is blue, the wild is vast.

The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Comment: This is an ecological grassland. This is a herd of cattle and sheep in the grasslands. This is a rough grassland idyll.

Looking for Master Yong Zun to live in seclusion

(Tang) Li Bai

The group is steep and green, and the year is not recorded.

Chasing the clouds to find the ancient road, leaning on the stone and listening to the flowing spring.

Flowers warm and green cows lie down, while Songgao and white cranes sleep.

When the words come to the river at dusk, I let down the cold smoke alone.

Comments: The green pines are tall and straight, the pines are like songs, and the white cranes perch leisurely. The sun is warm, the mountains are blooming, and the green ox is lying down. White crane, full of fairy spirit. Green cattle, exude auspiciousness. This is indeed the place where the “immortal” lives in seclusion.

The days are as long as the years, and the things are as big as the days of drunkenness.

Anvil and pestle knocked on the moon in Canshen Lane, Jing Wu shook his hometown in autumn.

If you want to refresh your old eyes, there is no height, and you will get the Yuanlong Hundred-foot Building.
