You should pity the fangs and seal the moss,
Chai Fei won't be able to leave for a long time.
The garden can't be closed in spring, and
an almond comes out of the wall.

[ Brief Analysis]
This little poem is very vivid and interesting, and it writes what the poet saw and felt when he visited the garden in spring.
The first two sentences, "You should pity the fangs and seal the moss, but Chai Fei won't open for a long time", explain that the author didn't meet friends and relatives, and the garden door was closed, so he couldn't enjoy the spring flowers in the garden. However, it is humorous, saying that it is probably because the owner of the garden cherishes the moss in the garden and is afraid that my fangs will leave traces of trampling on it, so "Chai Fei" can't be released for a long time. The host is not at home, and it is deliberately said that the host intends to refuse guests. This is to pave the way for the following poem. Because of the idea of "pitying fangs and printing moss", the last two sentences are more novel: although the owner selfishly closes the garden door, it seems that he wants to keep the spring scenery in the garden alone, but "the spring scenery can't be closed all over the garden, and an apricot comes out of the wall." These last two poems have vivid images and strange ideas. Both "Spring Scenery" and "Red Apricot" are personified, which not only contain feelings in the scenery, but also contain logic in the scenery, which can arouse readers' many associations and be inspired by philosophy: "Spring Scenery" can't be locked up, and "Red Apricot" is bound to "come out of the wall" to announce the coming of spring. Similarly, all new and beautiful things can't be blocked or imprisoned, and it will surely break through any bondage and flourish.
Ye Shaoweng, whose surname is Jing Yi, was originally from Jian 'an, and The Records of Four Dynasties was published by Longquan (now Zhejiang). He learned from Ye Shi and became close friends with Zhen Dexiu and Ge Tianmin. The official calendar is unknown, and he abandoned his official residence in the West Lake. There are five volumes of Records of the Four Dynasties, with many scattered poems, and only one volume of Jingyi Xiaoban is kept in the Jianghu Collection. Ye Shaoweng's poems are based on the sixty small collections of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was recorded by Jiguge Shadow Song Chao. The school photocopied Wen Yuange's "Sikuquanshu Jianghu Collection" (referred to as Jianghu Collection) and "Famous Scholars Collection of the Song Dynasty" (collectively called Famous Scholars Collection). The poems outside the new collection are attached to the end of the volume.
