Chanting willow is a seven-character quatrain written by He, a poet in Tang Dynasty. This is a poem about objects. The poem describes the new willow in February with slender tender leaves, which fully shows the vitality of early spring and the poet's joy at the arrival of spring.
Writing about trees, Liu is like a beautiful woman who is dressed in graceful clothes. Willow, compared with jasper alone, has two meanings: first, the name jasper is related to the color of willow, and the words "green" and "green" in the next sentence are complementary to each other. Second, the word Jasper will always leave a young impression in people's hearts.
The word "jasper" is used in allusions, leaving no trace. There was a "Jasper Song" in Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties, in which "Jasper breaks the melon" became a famous sentence. There is also Xiao Yi's Poem on Picking Lotus in the Southern Dynasties, which is also very famous. Later, the idiom "Little Jasper" was formed. "Jasper disguised as a tree" naturally associates this willow tree with a simple and beautiful poor girl in ancient times, and with a bright green dress, which is lovely and full of youthful vitality.
