Rural residence
Author Gao ding
Ching Dynasty
In February, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke.
The children came back from school early, so they were busy flying kites in the east wind.
Translation:
In February of the lunar calendar, the grass around the village has gradually sprouted and grown, and orioles are flying around. Willow covered with long green branches, swaying in the wind, as if gently stroking the bank.
The evaporated water vapor between Shui Ze and vegetation condenses into smoke. Willow seems to be intoxicated with this beautiful scenery. After school, the children in the village hurried home and flew kites in the blue sky when the east wind blew.
The creative background of "country house";
Village Residence is a seven-character quatrain written by Gao Ding, a poet in Qing Dynasty, when he lived in rural Shangrao in his later years. This poem vividly depicts the nature in spring and writes the beautiful and charming scenery unique to the countryside in spring.
In his later years, the poet was rejected and hit by the Harmony School, and his ambition was hard to pay, so he retired to the countryside around Shangrao. In a village far from the front line of the war, in the quiet early spring of February, the grass grows and the willows brush the embankment. The poet infected by the pastoral atmosphere felt the coming of spring and wrote this poem.
