Transparent small container
Yang Wanli in Song Dynasty
The silence of spring is because I don't want a long stream of water, and the shadow reflected on the water is like sunny days and breezes.
The delicate lotus flower bud shows a sharp corner from the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stands on its head.
Poetry translation:
Spring is silent because it can't stand the thin water flow, and the shade reflects the water because it loves sunny days and the softness of the wind.
The delicate little lotus leaf just emerged from the water with a sharp corner, and a naughty little dragonfly had already stood on it.
Appreciation of works:
In this poem, the poet described the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in early summer with fresh and lively language, showing the poet's sincere love for natural scenery.
"Spring eyes are silent and cherish the trickle, and the shade of trees shines on the water and loves sunny and soft", which is about the quiet environment of the pond. Thin spring water flows out quietly from the spring eye, as if the spring eye cherishes them very much and is reluctant to let them flow more. A shade of trees is reflected on the water, as if I really like the soft and beautiful scenery on this sunny day.
"Xiao He just showed his sharp corner, and a dragonfly was already standing on his head", which is about the vibrant scene of Xiaochi. As soon as the sharp corner of the tender lotus leaf emerges from the water, the dragonfly lands on it. "River" and "Dragonfly" are interdependent, and "Cai Lu" and "Jujube and Plum" echo each other, showing the close relationship between natural scenery.
This poem vividly depicts a landscape painting of the lotus pond in early summer, describing the trickle, shade, clear water, small lotus flowers with the first pair of sharp horns and grounded dragonflies. In particular, the clever use of the verbs "cherish, love, dew and stand" makes this beautiful and quiet picture full of vitality.
