Small Pond
Author: Yang Wanli, Song Dynasty
The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the trees shines on the water, which is clear and soft.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
This poem is a fresh sketch. Everything is so delicate, so soft, and so affectionate.
Every sentence of it is a poem, every sentence is picturesque, showing the bright early summer scenery, natural and simple, and truly touching.
This poem describes a spring, a trickle, a pool of tree shade, a few small lotus leaves, and a small dragonfly, forming a vivid small pool. Scenery pictures express the intimate and harmonious relationship between all things in nature.
