Spring Snow--Han Yu
Spring Snow
Han Yu
Not even young in the new year,
early February Surprised to see grass sprouts.
The white snow is too late for spring, so
there are flying flowers flying through the trees in the garden.
Explanation of poetry
The New Year has arrived, but I have not seen the fragrant flowers. It was not until February that I was pleasantly surprised to find green buds sprouting from the grass. The white snow seems to be unable to bear the belated arrival of spring, and actually falls into the air, scattering flying flowers among the trees in front of the garden.
Word explanation
New Year: refers to the first day of the first lunar month.
So: intentionally.
Poem Appreciation
Although the real spring has not yet arrived, the white snow can't wait any longer, and it is fluttering and decorating itself with a spring scenery. The future of real spring is certainly a bit regretful, but doesn’t the spring snow flying through the trees and flying flowers still give people the breath of spring? The poet's long-awaited worries about spring suddenly turned into joy. The whole poem is exquisitely conceived, with new ideas in common scenes, ingenious craftsmanship, and uniqueness.
