Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, everywhere is full of singing and dancing, pink and green, a scene full of spring. In villages near the water and battlements surrounded by mountains, there are wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere.
In the past, there were deep palaces filled with smoke everywhere in the Southern Dynasties, but now these pavilions stand in the misty rain.
The original "Jiangnan Spring":
Jiangnan spring
Author Du Mu
the Tang Dynasty
Jiangnan, the sound of green and red flowers, the waterside village in the foothills.
More than 480 ancient temples were left in the Southern Dynasties, and countless pagodas were shrouded in wind and rain.

Jiangnan Spring is a four-line poem written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. With light words and extremely general language, the whole poem depicts a vivid, colorful and verve picture of spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, presenting a profound and beautiful artistic conception and expressing a series of subtle and profound feelings, which has enjoyed a high reputation for thousands of years.
This is a landscape poem with a good reputation. A small space paints a broad picture. It is not aimed at a specific place, but at the unique scenery of the whole south of the Yangtze River, so it is named "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River".
It reflects that the aesthetics in China's poems and paintings are beyond time and space, indifferent and free and easy, and have the "epiphany" thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Zen, and most of them show poetic feelings of nostalgia, seclusion and freehand brushwork.
Creative background:
In the late Tang Dynasty when Du Mu lived, after Xian Zong came to power, he was fascinated by his achievements in Pinghuaixi and other places and started an immortal dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Xianzong was killed by eunuchs, Mu Zong, Jing Zong, Wenzong and others preached Buddhism as usual, and the number of monks and nuns kept rising, which greatly weakened the power of the government and increased the burden on the country.
When Du Mu came to Jiangnan (Jiangyin, Jiangsu) this year, he couldn't help thinking of the piety of the Southern Dynasties, especially the Liang Dynasty. In the end, there was nothing. Not only did he not seek immortality, but he harmed the country and the people by mistake. Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring Day" is not only an ode to history and homesickness, but also a gentle exhortation to the rulers of the Tang Dynasty.
