Original text:
The teeth of Ying Lian are imprinted with green moss, and the door of the small buckle firewood cannot be opened for a long time.
The garden is full of spring scenery, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall.
Translation:
Perhaps the owner of the garden was worried that my clogs would trample the moss he cherished, so he knocked lightly on the wood door, but no one came to open it for a long time.
But the spring beauty of this garden cannot be contained after all. Look, there is a pink apricot flower sticking out of the wall.
Extended information
"A Visit to the Garden Is Not Worth It" is a poem by Ye Shaoweng, a poet from the Song Dynasty. This poem describes what the poet saw and felt when visiting the garden in spring: first, the poet visited the garden to see flowers but could not enter the garden gate, and his emotions went from high expectations to disappointment and regret; then he saw a branch of red apricot sticking out of the wall, and then he appreciated the beauty of the garden. It's full of spring, and the emotions range from disappointment to unexpected surprises.
The whole poem is very tortuous and layered, very vivid and full of rationality, especially the third and fourth sentences, which not only exaggerate the rich spring scenery, but also reveal the profound philosophy and reflect the framing. The small but profound features, the blend of scenes, and the popularity among people.
This poem was written roughly in February in the south of the Yangtze River, when the clouds were clear, the wind was gentle, and the sun was shining brightly. The poet took the opportunity to come to the door of a small garden and wanted to see the flowers and trees in the garden. He knocked lightly on the firewood door a few times, but there was no response; he knocked a few more times, but still no one answered. The poet guessed that he was afraid that the moss in the garden would be trampled by others, so he closed the door and thanked guests.
The poet was thinking and wandering outside the garden, feeling very disappointed. When he was helpless and about to leave, he looked up and suddenly saw a branch of blooming red apricot blossom sticking out of the wall. "The garden is full of spring scenery, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall." From a branch of blooming red apricot flower, the poet appreciated the lively spring scenery in the garden and felt the gorgeous spring light in the sky. Finally, his trip was worthwhile.
