Spring Blossoms on the Branches of Red Apricots uses both synaesthesia and personification as figures of speech. Synaesthesia is used to describe the silent gestures and colors of the apricot blossoms as if they have sound waves, allowing people to gain hearing through vision. The feeling is associated with the chirping of birds in spring; the method of anthropomorphism is adopted, because red apricots are objects and cannot be caused by human behaviors, but are rich in the "noisy" behavior of other people.
This sentence comes from "Spring in the Jade House·Spring Scenery" written by Song Qi in the Song Dynasty. The original text of the poem is as follows:
The scenery in the East City is gradually beautiful. _Wrinkles welcome guests.
The dawn outside the green poplar smoke is slightly cold, and the red apricot branches are full of spring.
The growth of floating life makes people hate the lack of joy and entertainment. Kenai Qianjin smiled lightly.
I hold wine for you to welcome the setting sun, and leave the evening light among the flowers.
Vernacular interpretation: Walking in the East City, I feel that the spring scenery is getting better and better, and the wrinkled water waves are slowly rocking on the boat. Green willows sway gracefully in the morning mist, and pink apricot flowers bloom all over the branches, creating an enchanting spring atmosphere. I always complain that life is short and there are too few joys. How can I despise laughter just to be stingy with money? Let me raise a glass of wine for you to persuade the setting sun, please stay and shine the evening flowers.

This song is sung Spring is full of cherishing youth and the emotion of loving life. Shangque writes about the scenery of early spring. It starts with "The scenery in East City is getting better." It is written slowly in a narrative tone. It seems casual on the surface, but the word "good" can no longer suppress the praise of spring.
The following three sentences are the specific expression and image portrayal of "good scenery". The first is "Wrinkle Ripples Welcoming Guests", which draws people's attention to the spring water. The ripples of the water seem to be waving to welcome guests. Then he asked people to follow him to see the "green poplar". The period of "green poplar" indicates the time and characteristics of the "guest" coming.
"Xiao Han Qing" writes about the feeling of spring and the affection in the author's heart. "Ripples" and "green poplars" both symbolize spring. However, what is more symbolic of spring is spring flowers. Under this premise, the last line of the film finally sings the swan song "Spring is blooming on the red apricot branches". If this sentence is the finishing touch on the picture, it might as well be said to be the flower of emotion blooming in the heart of the poet.
The word "Nao" not only describes the multitude and complexity of red apricots, but also brings out all the vibrant spring scenery. The word "Nao" is not only colored, but also seems to have a sound. Wang Guowei said in "Human Words": "With the word 'Nao', the whole realm comes out."
Xiaque then looks at the subjective emotions of the poet. To further highlight the beautiful spring scenery. The two sentences "Float grows up and hates joy but is willing to love a thousand pieces of gold and smile lightly" are to set off the loveliness and value of spring from the two aspects of fame and wealth. The poet occupies an important position and is busy with official duties. He has little time or opportunity to seek the joy of life from spring, so he refers to it as the "eternal regret" of "floating life".
Therefore, there is a sentiment that one would rather give up "a thousand pieces of gold" than let go of getting a short "smile" from spring. Since spring is so precious and lovely, the poet couldn't help but "hold wine for the king to persuade the setting sun" and clearly put forward the strong subjective requirement of "leaving the evening light among the flowers". This request is "unreasonable" and therefore impossible, but it can fully express the poet's cherishment of spring and time.
