2. The novel Deep Courtyard is the work of Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Original text:
In the courtyard, deep willows pile up smoke, and the curtains are not counted. Jade music carving saddle tour smelting place, the building is not high, look at Zhangtai Road.
March storm, closing at dusk, not planning to stay in spring. Tears ask flowers silently, and red flies over the swing.
3. Translation:
How deep is the courtyard? Rows of willows piled up in Lv Yun, with numerous heavy curtains. Where are China's chariots and horses now? Blocked by a tall building, Zhangtai Road is out of sight.
In late spring, in March, the wind is crazy and the rain is sudden, and it closes at dusk, but there is no way to keep spring. I asked the flowers with tears in my eyes. The flowers were silent. I saw the scattered fallen flowers flying over the swing.
