The literal meaning of the whole poem: a plum tree turns golden, and the longer the apricot, the bigger it is; Buckwheat flowers are white and rape flowers are sparse. As the day grows, the shadow of the fence becomes shorter and shorter as the sun rises, and no one passes by; Only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence.
The whole poem is as follows: plum is golden and apricot is fat, wheat is white and cauliflower is thin. No one has ever crossed the fence, but dragonflies and butterflies can fly
