Night Scene by the River is the title of Hui Chong's paintings. There are two paintings, one is a duck play and the other is a flying goose. Qian Zhongshu's Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty is Xiaojing. Many annotations are useful for Xiaojing and Night Scene, and the complete works of Dongpo and the annotations before the Qing Dynasty are all useful.

Creative background:
Two Late Scenes of Hui Chong Riverside are two poems written by Su Shi for Hui Chong in Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) in the eighth year of Shen Yuanfeng (1085). This poem was written in Jiangyin.
Appreciate:
This poem deliberately depicts a scene of early spring.
The poet first wrote from the side: In the early spring, the earth revived, and the bamboo forest has been dyed green by new leaves. What is more striking is that three or two peach blossoms have blossomed early on the peach tree, which are brightly colored and report the information of spring to people. Then, the poet's line of sight turned from the river to the middle of the river. Ducks that have been looking forward to the whole winter on the shore have already been unable to hold back and rushed to play in the water.
Then, the poet wrote from the middle of the river to the bank, observing and describing the scene of early spring in more detail: because of the moisture of the spring water, the Artemisia on the ground grew new branches and the reed buds spit out; All this shows the vitality of spring and makes people fondle it. The poet went on to think that this is the season for puffer fish to go on the market, which makes people daydream more widely ... The whole poem is full of strong and fresh life breath.
