The poems that use different seasons to express the change of time and the passage of time are as follows:
1. "First Summer"
(Tang Dynasty) Bao Rong
Yesterday's youth is gone, and the evening peak is still beautiful.
Although there is some residue left, the pulse will prevent worry and decoction.
Young people cherish the season and feel the passing of time.
Appreciation: The whole poem describes the scenery of mountains and forests in late spring and early summer. It vividly expresses the regret for the passing of spring time, and expresses the poet's feeling of being sad for spring and feeling that time cannot wait for us.
2. "New Cicada Presents to Liu Twenty-Eight"
(Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
When the cicada makes a sound, the locust flower has two branches.
You should only urge me to grow old and report to you.
Bai's head is quick, and Qingyun's hand is late.
Without a glass of wine, I would like to encourage you to open your eyebrows.
Appreciation: This poem was written by Bai Juyi to his friend Liu Yuxi. It uses "one" chirping of cicadas and "two branches" of locust trees to describe the characteristics of early summer with the new singing of cicadas and the first blooming of locust trees. The poet is both sentimental and open-minded with complex emotions.
3. "Reply to the News of the New Cicada from the Ministry of Punishment"
(Tang Dynasty) Liu Yuxi
Before the cicada's sound was heard, he felt that the year was fleeting.
Once it enters the desolate ears, it is like hearing a broken string.
When the weather is clear, I rely on the dew leaves, but in the evening, I am afraid of the cloudy sky.
What's the matter? Qiu Qingyong is quiet at the right time.
Appreciation: The poem writes that before the cicadas chirp, I already feel the passage of time, and it is hard to keep time. When I hear the sound of cicadas, my heart suddenly feels desolate, just like hearing the intermittent sound of a piano. The chirping of cicadas in the morning on a sunny day is clear and sweet, lingering among the dewy leaves; in the evening, their chirping is urgent and noisy, as if they are afraid of the sunset glow in the sky.
4. "Wanqing"
(Tang Dynasty) Li Shangyin
Living deep in Fujia City, spring is gone and summer is still clear.
God's will takes pity on the quiet grass, and the world is clear at night.
He added a high pavilion and a small window.
After the bird's nest is dry, its body becomes lighter when it returns.
Appreciation: This poem depicts the clear and fresh realm and the bustling scene of the evening after the rain. It expresses the poet's joyful feeling and bright and optimistic mind, and reflects the poet's emotional state of mind in the early days of his death.
