Peach blossoms are shallow and deep, like even makeup.
The spring breeze broke my heart and blew off my white clothes.
Translation:
Peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the deep or light colors are like the light makeup on the face of a beautiful girl, which makes people relaxed and happy. But the relentless spring breeze blows the beautiful petals off my white skirt, which makes people feel sorry!
Brief analysis:
This poem "Peach Blossom" by Yuan Zhen shows the poet's deep sadness through the description of peach blossoms. "Peach blossoms are shallow and deep, like makeup." The first two sentences say peach blossoms: the peach blossoms on the branches are very gorgeous. Seeing deep or shallow peach blossoms reminds me of the makeup on the girl's face. In these two poems, Yuan Zhen uses a girl's face as a metaphor for peach blossoms, which is full of poetry. The last two sentences are even sadder. Whenever the spring breeze comes, the peach blossoms should be blown away. This spring breeze is also the most ruthless, and the red petals fall on my white clothes, which makes me even more sad. In these two sentences, the poet created a beautiful artistic conception, which completely combined the sadness in his heart with the falling peach blossom.
