Original text:
The spring rain is swift, the pond is full, and the mountains are high and low, east and west, and the mountain roads are rugged.
The hot and lively peach blossoms and plum blossoms have been blooming for a while, but now it has passed, only the grass in spring grows bigger and greener.

Poetry appreciation
Through the long-term comparison between peach blossom and plum blossom, the poet hinted at such a philosophy: although peach blossom and plum blossom are beautiful, their vitality is weak; Although the grass is unpretentious, it has strong vitality.
The poem "South of the City" describes the scene of Shan Ye after the heavy rain in late spring. The style is smooth and beautiful, and it is pleasing to read.
In particular, the phrase "only the green grass is full of color" shows that the grass dripping with water is bright green, indicating that nature is still full of vitality after the rain. This is the author's ingenious pen. Love at the scene, scene blending, style detachment, fresh and meaningful.
