The garden is full of spring scenery and can’t be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall.

"The garden is full of spring scenery and can't be contained, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall" comes from the poem "It's Not Worth It to Visit the Garden" by Ye Shaoweng, a poet from the Song Dynasty. It expresses the vitality of spring and reveals the poet's love for spring.
Translation:
Perhaps the owner of the garden was worried that my clogs would trample the moss he cherished so much, so I knocked gently on the firewood door and did not open it for a long time.
The spring scenery in the garden cannot be contained. One branch of the red apricots in full bloom stretched out of the wall.
