Grass / Farewell to the ancient original grass
Author: Bai Juyi
The grass grows in the original grass, and it dries up every year.
The wildfire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows it again.
The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city.
I sent the king and grandson off again, and the love was full of farewell.
Whoever speaks an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring. (Meng Jiao, Tang Dynasty. "Wandering Son's Song") At the foot of the southern mountain where beans are planted, the grass is full of bean seedlings. (Southern and Northern Dynasties. Tao Yuanming. "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields")
The flowers gradually become more attractive to the eyes, and only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves. (Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi. "Spring Tour to Qiantang Lake")
The light rain on Tianjie is as moist as crisp, and the color of grass looks far away but not up close.
