Underlined words have notes: tap one. The Pinyin button below shows or hides all pinyin. 一 and 不 are marked with the tone you actually say.字下有虚线的，点开有注释。下方的“拼音”按钮可以显示或隐藏全部拼音。“一”“不”标的是实际读出来的变调。

The corpus writes the bamboo-leaf hat with a variant form of the character ruò. Textbooks use the standard form. The meaning is the same.

资料库原文写作“青篛笠”。“篛”是“箬”的异体字，课本写作“箬”，意思一样。

Background创作背景

Zhang Zhihe was a Tang hermit who loved to fish on the rivers and lakes. It is usually said that around 774, when the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing was an official in Huzhou, Zhang came to visit him. The friends wrote songs back and forth, and Zhang wrote five Songs of the Fisherman. This is the first. It is said the song spread quickly, and even an emperor of Japan wrote songs in the same style.

张志和是唐代的隐士，在江湖上钓鱼为乐。一般认为，唐代宗大历年间（约774年），书法家颜真卿在湖州做官，张志和去拜访他，大家一起唱和，张志和写了五首《渔歌子》，这是第一首。据说这首词很快传开，连日本的天皇也学着写过。

The poet作者

Zhang Zhihe was a Tang poet. He was an official when young, but later quit and lived on the waters. He called himself the Angler of Mist and Waves. It is said he often fished without bait, because he did not care about the fish. He loved the freedom. This song is about his own life.

张志和，唐代诗人，年轻时做过官，后来辞官不做，住在江湖上，自称“烟波钓徒”，意思是在烟雾水波里钓鱼的人。他钓鱼常常不放鱼饵，不是为了鱼，而是喜欢那份自在。这首词写的就是他自己的生活。

The mood意境

This song is like a bright, colorful painting. Far away is a green mountain, with snow-white egrets in the sky. On the bank are pink peach blossoms, and in the water swim fat fish. Then look at the man in the picture: a green hat, a green raincoat, fishing from a small boat. A fine rain starts, and a slanting wind blows. Anyone else would hurry home, but the fisherman says there is no need. He thinks the river in the rain is just right and does not want to leave. In only twenty-seven characters there are mountains, water, birds, fish and a man, and a heart that is free and loves nature.

这首词像一幅色彩明亮的画。远处是青山，天上飞着雪白的鹭鸟；岸边是粉红的桃花，水里游着肥美的鳜鱼。再看画中的人：青色的斗笠，绿色的蓑衣，坐在小船上钓鱼。这时下起了细雨，吹来了斜风，换了别人早就躲回家了，渔翁却说“不须归”。他觉得风雨里的江湖正好，一点也不想走。短短二十七个字，有山、有水、有鸟、有鱼、有人，写出了自由自在、热爱自然的心情。
