Xiangzi's translation of Qin Guan

Qin Guan is the author of XiangXingZi, translated from:

Trees surround the village and the pond is full of water; Leaning against the east wind, I walked in the country in high spirits. Although the small garden is small, it collects all the spring scenery. There are peach blossom red, plum blossom white and cauliflower yellow. Looking at a hut surrounded by walls from a distance; Next to the small bridge and flowing water, the green flag flutters in the wind. Occasionally walk through Donggang in a good mood. There are songbirds singing, swallows flying and butterflies busy.

"Xing Xiang Zi" Original: Shuwei Village, full of water; Leaning against the east wind, wandering in high spirits; The small garden is full of spring.

Yinger is singing, Yaner is dancing and butterflies are busy.

2. Personal experience: Qin Guan's personal experience also influenced his creation. He used to be a small official in North Korea, but he was demoted to a local official because he was involved in a political storm. Later, he was exiled to a farther place because he wrote some poems criticizing current politics. These experiences made him have a deeper understanding of social reality and made his works more profound and touching.

3. Cultural tradition: The cultural tradition in the Northern Song Dynasty also influenced the creation of Qin Guan. At that time, graceful poets dominated the literary world, and Qin Guan was also influenced by this style. At the same time, he also absorbed the advantages of bold poets and formed his own unique artistic style.
