Meng Haoran [Tang Dynasty]
Sleeping sickness in spring unconsciously broke the morning, and the chirping of birds disturbed my sleep.
How many flowers fall after a stormy night.

In spring, it is dawn before you know it, and birds can be heard everywhere.
Looking back at the sound of wind and rain last night, I don't know how many beautiful spring flowers have been blown down.

Dawn: At first light, Xiao Chun: Spring morning.
It's dawn before you know it: it's dawn before you know it.
The song of a bird.
Know how much: I don't know how much.
Make an appreciative comment
The poem "Spring Dawn" was written by the poet when he lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, and the artistic conception is very beautiful. The poet seized the moment when he just woke up in the spring morning to describe and associate, vividly expressing the poet's love and pity for spring. This poem does not use the general technique of directly describing the immediate spring scene, but captures the typical spring breath through the "spring dawn" (spring morning) when he wakes up instantly, expressing his feelings of loving and cherishing spring.
The first two sentences of this poem were written by a poet who didn't know it was dawn because of his dream on a spring night. When he woke up, he heard birds singing everywhere outside the house. The poet cherishes ink as gold, and expresses the vibrant scene of Chunxiao with only one sentence: "Birds are singing around". However, people can know that it is the cheerful songs of these birds that awaken the lazy and sleepy poet. It is conceivable that it is already a beautiful spring outside the house at this time, and we can appreciate the poet's praise for spring.
It is this lovely scene of spring dawn that makes the poet naturally turn to the association of the third sentence and the fourth sentence in the poem: I heard a burst of rain last night, and now how many flowers are shaken in the courtyard? Linked to the first two sentences of the poem, this night's storm is not a storm, but a gentle breeze and drizzle, which sends the poet into a sweet dream and cleans the morning brighter, which is not hateful. But in the end, it will shake off the spring flowers and take them away. Therefore, the phrase "I don't know how many flowers have been folded" implies the poet's faint sadness and infinite reverie about the passing of spring scenery.
