About the author: He,, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Jasper dressed as a tree, hanging down ten thousand green silk tapestries.
I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
Poetry translation
Tall willows are covered with new green leaves, and soft willows hang down like ten thousand green ribbons fluttering gently.
Whose skillful hand cut off this thin young leaf? It turned out to be the warm spring breeze in February. It's like a pair of clever scissors.
Extended data:
Chanting willow is a seven-character quatrain written by He, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This poem is a poem about objects. The first two sentences of this poem use two new metaphors of beauty to describe the vitality and prosperity of spring willow; The latter two sentences compare the spring breeze to "scissors" more ingeniously, and show the invisible "spring breeze" vividly, which is not only novel in concept, but also full of charm.
The first sentence is about trees, and the willow tree is like a beautiful woman who is beautifully dressed. Willow, using jasper alone has two meanings:
First of all, the name Jasper is related to the color of willow. "Jasper" and "green" in the next sentence complement each other and complement each other.
Second, the word Jasper will always leave a young impression in people's hearts. The word "jasper" is used in allusions, leaving no trace. There was a "Jasper Song" in Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties, in which "Jasper breaks the melon" became a famous sentence.
