A sail, an oar, a fishing boat,
A fisherman and a hook.
Bend over and laugh,
A bright moon and an autumn.

On the misty blue waves, I saw a fishing boat swinging in the mud. The fisherman took the hook and caught the fish happily. It's a blue sky, with the bright moon at the head and autumn all over the river.
Background of extended data creation
This poem was written in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. Chen Ling, a poet, went to Huangzhou to take part in the provincial examination in order to select a juren and gain fame. Just arrived at the bank of Bahe River, unfortunately, the ferry just landed, and the ship was already full of scholars from all over the country. Chen Lin begged Gong Li to do him a favor, drive the boat back to the shore and cross the river with him.
Seeing that the man standing on the shore is a gentle scholar, the ferryman said cheerfully, "If Xianggong goes to catch the exam, he must be brilliant in literary talent. If you can write a seven-character quatrain containing ten' one' words, I will immediately turn around and cross you to the other side. If not, please wait patiently for the old lady to send this talent to Huangzhou first, then go ashore to drink two or two old wines, and then pick you up slowly. "
Hearing this, Chen Ling stamped his feet in a hurry and said, "I am obedient. I asked the wise man to sail back first so that I could write a poem. The wise man could listen clearly and give me some advice. " The old ferryman stroked his beard and said with a smile, "All right." Then put the boat back to the shore. Chen Ling stepped on it.
At this time, a fishing boat happened to pass by in the middle of the river. I saw a fisherman sitting at the bow, with a fishing rod beside him, paddling with his hands, leaning forward, leisurely and happily singing a fishing song. When Chen Lin looked around, he saw his eyes in the heart, rippling with the water waves. Chen Ling had a brainwave and immediately wrote this poem.
Make an appreciative comment
One-word poetry has many meanings such as "independence", "one", "fullness" and "completeness". Among them, ten words "one" are used, which is really patchwork and has a good meaning. Every "one" has a distinct image, and it is very poetic and vivid.
The word "one" has the fewest strokes, but under the ingenious arrangement of the poet, it can turn plain into magic. A bow and a smile, a bright moon and an autumn; A flower, a willow, a fish and a bird are flying in the sunset; The only moon in the sky, the only person in the mountain ... strewn at random, like a line drawing, very poetic.
The ten "ones" in the poem are apt and exquisite. Scenery and emotion, sound and color, characters and movements depict colorful fishing pictures, which are full of poetry and painting, memorable and tireless. Only when an official is honest and upright can he have such patience and care, and can he write poems that can make us all infected by the joy of the elderly.
