Cao Chun 1
Liu Chang [Song Dynasty]
Spring grass is indescribable and the water front is full of glory.
It seems that the chariots and horses are bustling, and they will not be born when they enter the city gate.
Translation:
In spring, weeds grow thick and continuous, and they can't tell their names at all. They germinate and flourish at will at the water's edge and on the mound.
It seems that I don't like busy places. As soon as I get to the gate, I can't see the trace of its growth.
2. Changxin Palace chanting cursive script
Yu Jianwu [Southern and Northern Dynasties]
Cui Wei seems to know this festival, and he is full of feelings.
Because there are few tracks, I want to be born in the upper class.
Translation:
The faded grass in the garden seems to know the season. A gust of wind blew and the fragrance floated from the withered grass. They still want people with feelings to be close to them.
There are so few trails, and the grass in the atrium spreads and grows almost to the stone steps.
3. Spring grass
Tang Yanqian [Tang Dynasty]
Walking around the roadside every day, roots are everywhere.
Growing up is always a heartless thing, and it has been blowing for another year.
Translation:
No matter in the north or the south, the roadside is always covered with grass. It grows in the distance and can take root and breed anywhere.
The lush spring grass always urges people to go home as soon as possible, and the spring breeze blows the green grass for another year.
4. Two Songs from the South of the City, Part I
Ceng Gong [Song Dynasty]
The spring rain is swift, the pond is full, and the mountains are high and low, east and west, and the mountain roads are rugged.
The hot and lively peach blossoms and plum blossoms have been blooming for a while, but now it has passed, only the grass in spring grows bigger and greener.
Translation:
The spring rain is swift, the pond is overflowing, flush with the levee, the mountains are rolling in the distance, and the east and west mountain roads are rugged.
Peach blossoms and plum blossoms that have been blooming for a while have withered, and only lush spring grass can be seen, all green.
5. Say goodbye to the ancient grassland (excerpt)
Bai Juyi [Tang Dynasty]
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Translation:
The Yuan Ye is covered with lush grass, which turns yellow in autumn and winter every year and thickens in spring.
Wildfire can't burn all the weeds on the ground. When the spring breeze blows, the earth turns green.
