Original text
Qingpingle ⑴·Spring Festival Gala
I can’t stay in the spring, and I have exhausted my words. The ground is full of red and stained palace brocade, and there was a storm in the south garden last night.
Xiao Lian plays the pipa for the first time, and her thoughts wander around the world at dawn. If you don’t want to paint a small household, the spring breeze will bring you flowers.

⑵ Palace brocade: a brocade produced under the supervision of the palace and unique to it. This metaphor refers to falling flowers.
⑶ The two sentences "all over the ground" and "last night" should be understood upside down.

Vernacular translation
No matter how hard I try to keep the spring, I let the oriole sing in vain. The ground was covered with dirty red brocade and fallen flowers, which were caused by the wind and rain last night.
The little girl Lian had just played the pipa, and at dawn her thoughts were lingering in the heaven. Look at Yang Hua, who refuses to enter a wealthy family, dancing freely in the spring breeze.
Appreciation
There are countless poems from ancient times that express sadness about spring and autumn. This kind of subject matter has been chewed up by people, but there is no shortage of excellent articles in the past. Instead of making people feel cliche, on the contrary, it always has a sense of freshness. Wang Anguo's song "Qing Ping Le" is such a good poem.
The title of the poem is "Spring Festival Gala". As the name suggests, it is about the scene of the end of spring. "The spring cannot last, and all the words of the orioles are spent. The ground is red, the palace and brocade are stained, and the south garden was full of wind and rain last night." The author writes at the beginning of the pen that due to "last night's rain and wind," the south garden has been covered with red. Facing this scene of withered flowers, the poet was naturally very sad. At this time, he heard the incessant singing of the oriole in his ears, so he seemed to feel that the passionate oriole was also worried about the falling flowers, and was urging not to go back in spring. "The spring cannot last, and all the words are spent", it seems like the poet sighed. The "effort" in writing Ying'er's language really brings out the poet's sense of loss, because flowers bloom and fade, spring passes and autumn comes, which is a natural law that has nothing to do with Ying'er. The poet endows the birds with human emotions. He does not directly say that he has no intention of suffering the pain of staying in spring, but uses the mouth of the orioles to express his feelings. His technique is novel and full of charm.
This word describes the auditory and visual feelings cross-wise, and outlines a ruined picture of late spring from both the sound and color aspects. I started by listening to the chirping of warblers, and then turned to sight. After a night of wind and rain, the garden flowers withered, the remaining red pistils were scattered all over the ground, and it was a mess. When the flowers are in full bloom, they are as brilliant as palace brocades, but unfortunately they are now in ruins. "The ground is covered in red" is a typical scene in the end of spring. Compared with the beautiful palace brocade being defaced, the poet's regret can be seen.
The following turns from vision to hearing: Just as the poet watched the flowery spring disappear in a hurry, and felt infinite melancholy in his heart, the sound of the singer Xiao Lian playing the pipa seemed to be heard from a distance. Sound, "strings cover the sound and sound thoughts", the sound of strings is the feeling of cherishing spring and cherishing flowers. Xiao Lian is the concubine Feng Shu favored by Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because she was "smart and able to play the pipa", later generations of poets often used it to refer to the singer. In this word, "Xiao Lian is playing the pipa for the first time" is derived from the sentence "When I see Xiao Lian at the head of the bay, please play the pipa string" in Li He's poem "Feng Xiao Lian". The sound of the pipa is sad and moving. In this spring night that is about to pass away, how many beauties in the boudoir stay awake all night long, and their thoughts that are constantly being cut and chaotic are flying across thousands of miles of mountains, chasing wanderers in the world. Gu Kui's "Yu Meiren" says: "The jade man still hasn't returned home, teaching people to dream of chasing poplar flowers and wandering around the world." Here, the author expresses the feeling of wasted years caused by the hasty return of spring, and his implicit sustenance. It contains a kind of sadness about the beauty's twilight years and the hero's demise, which is rich in social and life content.
Finally, the poet writes about the poplar flowers everywhere in front of him - this unique scenery in late spring: I saw the flying flowers like snow, so free and easy, but they still refused to fly in. That rich and powerful family's painting hall Zhu Hu. The sight is thought-provoking.
This poem expresses the poet's feelings of regretting spring, cherishing spring, and lamenting the passing of beautiful years, and embodies the author's deep feelings about his life experience. The whole poem blends emotions with the scenery, and blends the scenery with one's own life, describing one's own temperament and character. It can be called an outstanding poem about spring.
Comments by famous experts
Volume 1 of Song Zhou Shaoyin's "The Poems of the Old Man at Zhupo": Uncle Luo of Daliang wrote for the rest of his life: "I was in the Jiankang family when I saw Wang Jinggong writing small poems himself. A piece of paper is very precious in his family's collection. The poem goes like this: "The spring will never last".
Jing Ping didn't say this in his life, so why does he have this?" Yizhen Shen Yan said: "Jing Gong's poems, such as: 'There are thousands of green branches and a little red, and the moving spring scenery does not need too much'" The spring scenery is annoying and can't sleep, the moon is "Moving the Shadows of Flowers onto the Railings" and other chapters are all poems by Ping's father, not Jing Gong's poems. "Shen is the son-in-law of Yuanlong's family, so he has a taste of it. What Uncle *** saw may not necessarily be Pingfu's Ci.
Volume 2 of Qing Tan Xian's Commentary on Ci Bian: Two sentences inverted ("Man Di The red palace is stained, and the wind and rain in the south garden last night") shows the power of the pen. The end of the pen ("I refuse to paint the red house, the spring breeze is free with poplar flowers") is of high character.
