中吉天边鸦背夕阳回
陇外儿童跨犊来
羗笛频吹声切耳
短长腔调乐何哉
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
Sunset frames returning crows as a child rides a calf home from the fields. Repeated flute notes vary in length and carry delight. The poem finds pleasure in an ordinary homeward journey rather than a grand achievement.
The central idea
A child rides home at sunset, playing an easy, uneven tune. The favorable meaning rests in an ordinary return: somewhere to belong, some leisure, and contentment. A larger event is not always needed before one can appreciate the steadiness already present in daily life.
