Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple, Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty
The beauty of April in the world is gone,
The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.
Eternal regret has no place to return to in spring,
I don’t know where to turn.
Translation
In April, it is the time when the beauty of spring has faded on the plains.
The peach blossoms in the ancient temples on the mountains have just begun to bloom.
I often feel sad for the passing of spring and its nowhere to be found.
After encountering the spring scenery again, I was overjoyed and suddenly realized: I didn’t expect that spring would be in this remote mountain temple. Among them.
The poetic meaning is that the poet came to Dalin Temple in early summer. Spring has returned to the earth in April under the mountain, and it is time for the beauty to be exhausted. However, unexpectedly, he encountered unexpected things in the ancient temple on the mountain. Spring scene - a field of blooming peach blossoms.
