The full text and explanation of the ancient poem "Remembering Jiangnan":
Full poem: Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?
Explanation: Hello Jiangnan, I used to be so familiar with the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. In spring, the red flowers on the shore illuminated by the morning light are redder than the blazing flames, and the green river is greener than the blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?
Note: Reminiscing about Jiangnan: the title of Tang Jiaofang’s song. The author's own note under the title says: "This song is also called 'Xie Qiuniang', with five lines in each song."

Because of Bai's lyrics, it was later renamed 'Jiangnan' "Good" became the name of Ci Pai in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. The Jiangnan referred to here mainly refers to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Appreciation of works
"Three Poems on Recalling the South of the Yangtze River" is divided into spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, autumn scenery in Hangzhou and famous events in Suzhou. The three poems have the same theme, but each poem has its own beginning and end, and has a certain degree of independence; and each poem is connected with each other, and the context is connected, forming an organic whole, showing the author's superb artistic skills in planning the layout of the poem.
The author loves the spring in West Lake very much, but he chose not to write about the spring in Hangzhou in his poems. This may be to avoid duplicating the spring scene in the first poem. He wrote about the autumn in Hangzhou, one about admiring the moon and laurels in a mountain temple, and the other about watching the tide of the Qiantang River from a high pavilion. Two sentences describe two realms. "Mountain Temple is looking for osmanthus seeds in the moon." There are many legends about mountain temples, and some are even cast in a mythical tone: it is said that the osmanthus trees in the temple fell from the Moon Palace.
