The last sentence of "The spring breeze cannot reach the end of the world" is: There are no flowers in the mountain city in February.
From a seven-character poem "Playing with Yuanzhen" written by the Northern Song Dynasty writer Ouyang Xiu, original text:
? Playing with Yuanzhen (Ouyang Xiu of Song Dynasty)
< p>The spring breeze does not reach the end of the world, and there are no flowers in the mountain city in February.There are still oranges on the branches under the heavy snow, and the bamboo shoots are about to sprout due to the freezing thunder.
Hearing about the returning geese at night makes me miss my hometown, and I feel the beauty of things in the new year when I am ill.
I was once a guest of flowers in Luoyang. Although the wild fragrance is late, there is no need to complain.
Notes:
⑴ Yuanzhen: Ding Baochen, courtesy name Yuanzhen, was born in Jinling, Changzhou (now Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and was a military judge in Xiazhou (the seat of governance is now Yichang, Hubei Province). .
⑵Tianya: a very remote place. The poet was demoted to Yiling (now Yichang City, Hubei Province), which is far away from the capital, so it is said.
⑶Shancheng: refers to Yiling County in Xiazhou (today's Yichang, Hubei Province) where Ouyang Xiu was the county magistrate at that time. Yiling faces the river and has mountains behind it, so it is called a mountain city.
⑷ Two sentences of "Remnable Snow": The poet said in "The Story of Sixi Tang of Yiling County" that Yiling "has the flavor of orange, pomelo, tea and bamboo shoots in four seasons". The remaining snow, the early spring snow has not completely melted. Frozen thunder, thunder in early spring, is called because there is still snow.
⑸ "Night Smell" has two sentences and one line: "The sound of birds gradually changes to know the beauty of the festival, and people feel bored and feel the splendor of things." Returning geese: geese fly north in spring and return south in autumn, so it is said that it can convey messages to people and was often used as a symbol of homesickness in ancient times. Sui Xue Daoheng's "People Think of Returning Every Day": "When people return after falling geese, their thoughts are in front of flowers." Feeling the splendor of things, sighing at the beauty of things. Wuhua, beautiful scenery.
⑹ "Once was" sentence: From the eighth year of Renzong's Tiansheng reign (1030) to the first year of Jing Dynasty (1034), Ouyang Xiu once served as a left-behind promotion officer in Xijing (Luoyang). He experienced the grand scene of local peonies and wrote "Luoyang Peony Story". Luoyang is famous for its peonies. "Luoyang Peony Customs" says: "The customs in Luoyang are mostly flowers. In spring, everyone in the city, whether noble or low, arranges flowers, even those with burdens. When the flowers bloom, scholars and common people compete for pleasure. < /p>
⑺域(jiē): sigh
Translation:
?I really doubt that the spring breeze can reach this distant mountain city, it is already February, but it is still here. Not a single flower could be seen. Some branches were bent by the unmelted snow, and last year's oranges were still hanging on the branches. The cold weather and spring thunder seemed to urge the bamboo shoots to sprout quickly, making it difficult to fall asleep at night. The sound of returning wild geese arouses endless homesickness in me; after being ill for a long time and New Year coming again, all the scenery in front of me makes my mind numb.
I have seen enough peonies in all shapes and forms in Luoyang. Although the wild flowers here bloom late, what can I feel sad or surprised about?
