Peach blossoms bloom in Dalin Temple in April.
I want to find a place where my life is dying, but I don't know that it has been moved here.
translate
In April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temple in the mountains have just opened.
I often regret that spring has gone nowhere to look, but I don't know that it has come here.
background
This poem was written in April of the 12th year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (8 17). Bai Juyi was Sima of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) at the age of 46.
Regarding the writing of this poem, Bai Juyi has a Preface to You Dalin Temple for reference: "People, Yuanjixu, Henan, Middle School, Nanyang Zhi, Yu, An Dingliang, Zhang Shi, Tuolin Temple Shaman, Zhi Man, Shi Jian, Li Bian, Dao Shen, Dao Jian, Shen Zhao, Yun Gao, En Ci, Yan Fan seventeen. The forest is far away and inaccessible. Around the temple, there are many clean Cang Shi, short pine and thin bamboo. There are only wooden houses in the temple, and its monks are all Haidong people. The mountains are deep, the season is never late, and it is in Xia Yue. For example, in February, the peach blossoms are in early bloom, the grass is still short, and the personality climate is different from that of the flat settlements. If you didn't build a world when you first came here. Because of the slogan "Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple". Looking around the walls, I saw the names of Xiao Langzhong Village, Wei Langzhong Hong Jian and Li Bubu Bo, and Ji lamented,' This place is really the best in the world.' There is no half way from the post road to the mountain gate. Since Xiao, Wei and Li You traveled for 20 years, there has been no successor. Ha ha! So is the temptation of fame and fortune. On April 9th, in the 12th year of the reign of Yuan Dynasty, Bai Letian, Taiyuan made a preface. "
Bai Juyi, who was born as a scholar during the Tang Zhenyuan period, was awarded the post of secretary of the provincial school, and later went to collect the remains, which is a spring breeze. Who knows that during his career as a Beijing official for several years, he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima by the court because of his outspoken suggestions. Bai Juyi, as Jiangzhou Sima, once faced with vicissitudes of life, we were all unhappy-to the ends of the earth, a pipa girl, in his poem Pipa Xing. This feeling of vicissitudes of life is naturally integrated into the artistic conception of this little poem, which gives the poem Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple a metaphorical color of vicissitudes of life.
The twilight river sings the sunset, half of which rustles and half of which is red.
The loveliest thing is the ninth day of September. The bright pearl's bright crescent moon is shaped like a bow.
translate
A sunset gradually sank into the river, and the river was half green and half brilliant red.
The loveliest thing is the night on the third day of September, which is as bright as pearls and crescent as a bow.

Ode to the Twilight River is not always about the scenery of the Twilight River. If we only look at the title of Ode to Mujiang, it seems that this poem should be sung until the twilight river scene around sunset, but the words "night" in the poem, "poor night in September" and "dewdrops as real as pearls as bows" are obviously writing about "night". According to the explanation in Ci Hai: "Dew is water droplets that condense on the surface of the ground or ground objects because of the heat emitted by water vapor in the air, which makes the surface temperature of the ground or ground objects lower than the air temperature (but still higher than 0℃). It is more common in sunny and windless nights or early morning. " It can be seen that the title and content of this poem are not consistent, and it is not always written about twilight river scenery. When understanding this poem, we must grasp this feature, and we can't just understand the content mechanically from the title. Some people think that the title of this poem is not completely consistent with the time in content, which is the author's negligence or pen mistake. In fact, this situation is very common in Tang poetry. For example, Du Fu's "Sunset" has been written from dusk to "grass dew drops autumn roots"; Jia Dao's Twilight in the Mountain Village was also written from sunset to bright moon. Therefore, we can't study literary works completely with the research methods of natural science.
background
This poem was written by Bai Juyi on his way to Hangzhou as a secretariat in the second year of Changqing (822). At that time, the court politics was dark, and the party struggle between Niu and Li was fierce. Bai Juyi tasted the taste of court officials and asked to go abroad. The author felt relaxed and carefree after leaving the imperial court, so he wrote this poem.
On February 2, it was sunny and rainy, and grass sprouted for a while.
Light shirt, fine horse spring boy, cross full of words.
It's rainy and foggy in Kesash, where the mountains and rivers are deep.
In autumn, the sound of the beach is more urgent and the canyon is overcast.
Looking at the clouds to cover your eyes, homesick for raindrops.
How to comfort yourself? It depends on this north window piano.
translate
Today, the fog in Shan Lan is particularly heavy, with a wide field of vision, but it is far away. Smelling the autumn brought by the beach river, the climate in the valley is humid, and sunny days are more like cloudy days.
Looking at the Imperial City, the clouds covered my eyes, thinking about my hometown, and the rain on the eaves dripped into my heart. What to use to soothe my deep and wandering thoughts depends on the piano under the north window to solve my loneliness.

On the surface, Bai Juyi was in a difficult position as an official in other places. In fact, writing about scenery is lyrical. Bai Juyi's mood is like the haze, the sound of the beach, the canyon, and the so-called cloudy day. In a room with no light on, he is full of thoughts and emotions. He wants to return to Beijing, but things are not as expected. The bigger the wood, the harder it is to use, and the Taihang Mountain will be full of snow.
A tree is green and sorrowful, and several people are separated from hatred.
Send more farewells near the Doumen, and fold the strip in half to reduce the spring breeze.
translate
The blue of willow leaves is a sad color, and many parting people are separated in such a situation.
The nearby checkpoint is also surrounded by people who bid farewell, and everyone folds willows to bid farewell to their parting friends.
Make an appreciative comment
This is a farewell poem, because "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, and the farewell gift expresses inseparable feelings, so the willow here is a farewell willow, expressing Bai Juyi's feelings of sighing and saying goodbye.
Watching fish swim around, watching fish swim around, just like children are fishing.
A person who loves fish has different hearts, so I will give you a hook.
translate
I watched the fish swimming freely in the pool when I was idle, and I happened to meet a child playing with a fishing boat. I also like to eat fish, but my mentality is different. I'll feed you and you fish.
Make an appreciative comment
Watching fish is a seven-character quatrain. The poet watched the fish by the pool, and the children were fishing on the hook. They felt it. These two sentences mean that people who love fish are different. I love fish and feed them. I hope they grow up. You are fishing for your own pleasure. How different are these two moods? On-the-spot writing, with strong contrast, is very thought-provoking, from which we can draw various situations and reasons of "having a heart in mind". It shows that the poet is very sad. Novelty is seen in the plain, and the charm is long.
