The Sixth Tang of Pastoral Music? Wang Wei
Peach blossoms contain persistent rain, and willow green is more smoky.
The children at home have not been driven away, and the oriole singing the song of idleness is still sleeping.
Translation:
The petals of the peach blossom still contain the rain beads of last night. After the rain, the willows turned green and were shrouded in morning smoke.
Petals beaten by rain are scattered all over the yard, and the children haven't got up to clean. Huang Ying is singing, and the guests in the mountain are still sleeping.

Pastoral Music is a group of poems composed of seven six-character quatrains. The author lived in seclusion in Wangchuan Villa, in order to enjoy the pleasure of being close to nature, so the title is "Six Words of Wangchuan", and this poem is one of them. This poem is Wang Wei's later work. The poem "Sleeping", "Singing", "Falling Flowers" and "Sleeping Rain" in spring is easily reminiscent of Meng Haoran's five-line poem "Spring Dawn". There are so many similarities in the life content written in the two poems, but the artistic conception is quite different. Comparing with each other, it is easiest to see two remarkable characteristics of Wang Wei's poem.
This poem outlines a beautiful pastoral scenery: pink, rain, willow green, morning smoke, fallen flowers, warblers and other scenery, harmonious and poetic. The word "still sleeping" in the title of the poem can best express the poet's inner feelings at that time.
