Chapter 33 Kobayashi Yicha

Primary school students often refer to Mr. Principal as: "Xiaolin Yicha! Old man Yicha's bald head!" This is because Mr. Principal's name is "Kobayashi Sosaku", and he often tells everyone about haiku, and he always says that there is a very great person named "Kobayashi Yicha".So the schoolboys confuse the two of them together and call them Mr.In the eyes of the children, not only the principal, but also Yicha is their friend.Mr. Principal likes Yicha's poems very much. He thinks that Yicha's poems are straightforward and simple, and they all come from daily life.

At that time, there may have been hundreds of thousands of haiku poets, but among the many poets, Yicha created his own poetic world that no one could imitate.Mr. Principal has great respect and admiration for this person who can write pure poems like a child.Whenever Mr. Xiaolin had the opportunity, he taught the children the verses of Yicha. The children have all recited these lines: "Skinny frog, don't admit defeat and don't be discouraged, Yicha is here." "Little sparrow, run away quickly, hide quickly, a big horse is coming." "Don't hit it, the fly rubs its hands and feet as well."

Mr. Kobayashi also improvised a tune, and everyone sang together: "Come here quickly, let's play and have fun together, there is no mother, little sparrow." Although the time for learning haiku is not officially included in the curriculum, Mr. Kobayashi often explains haiku to children. The first haiku written by Xiaodoudou is as follows: "Black wild dog, take off your military uniform before you can go to the mainland." Although Mr. Principal said that you just need to write out what you want to say honestly, but Xiaodoudou's words are not really haiku.However, from this sentence, we can see what Xiaodoudou was concerned about at that time.If you count the syllables, the sentence written by Xiaodou is not the syllables of "five, seven, five", but "five, seven, seven".But Xiaodoudou thought, even Mr. Yicha's haiku:

"Little sparrow, run away quickly, hide quickly, a big horse is coming" is also the syllable of "five, eight, seven", so it doesn't matter if you write your haiku like this. Whenever we go for a walk to Jiupin Buddha, or on rainy days, when the children cannot go out to play, but gather in the auditorium, Mr. "Lin Yicha" from Ba Xueyuan will teach the children haiku.Through haiku, he also taught children to think about life and nature.Moreover, Yicha's haiku is indeed very suitable for Ba Xueyuan: "The ice and snow have melted, and the romantic children are playing and running in the small village."
