 Hi, friends, after introducing some too serious Chinese poems last weeks, today, I would like to show you an easy, funny and interesting Chinese classical poem by an anonymous person.
This poem is made by four lines, 20 Chinese characters and includes 10 numbers from 1 to 10. :-) Just with so less characters and so many numbers, it has "painted out" a beautiful landscape for us.
Therefore, it has been chosen into the books for children. Many Chinese children can recite it as soon as they can speak. :-)
I really enjoy it for it is so alive and funny style. So, I had created a piece of music to match it in 2005. Also, I have created two new pictures with my imagination for you this weekend. :-)
MAIN MEANING OF THE PEOM :
Survey two, three miles,
There is a village with four or five houses (in the smoke from kitchen chimneys ),
pavilions six, seven in the mountains,
eight, nine, ten flowers by the road.
 When I am reading the little poem, the feeling is that I am painting a picture following the direction of the poet in my mind.
First of all, to paint the background with two or three miles far away as a distant view. Then, on the left, a village with four or five houses in the smoke from kitchen chimneys; on the right and behind of the village, there are some pavilions on the mountains. Finally, paint some flowers near my feet by the road ... :-)
I really hope that my paintings and music will be able to help you to understand this poem better. :-)
