The weeping willow path in the east garden and the falling flowers in the west weir. Looking around for three months, the scenery is unparalleled.
The village knows the dawn when birds fly, and the fish play in the water and know spring. In the Chuqingshan courtyard, there is no noise.
—"Mid-Spring Suburbs" by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty
The March of Yangchun described by Wang Bo is everywhere and at all times. It is the drooping willows on the streets in the East Garden and the colorful fallen flowers at the Xiyan Ferry. This gorgeous spring scenery will last for more than three months, and there is no more beautiful spring scene around. If you don’t believe it, the birds wake up early in the morning as soon as they feel the spring breeze. When the villagers listen to the melodious birdsong, they know that it is dawn. When the water in the spring river is warm and the fish are playing, people know that spring is coming. Especially when it clears up after the rain, the already quiet mountain village courtyard becomes even more quiet and elegant. How can the clearness after being washed by water attract dust? Seeing this situation, Wang Bo, who became famous at a young age and prided himself on being aloof, could not help but feel tempted to retire and stay away from the intrigues of the court.
This March in spring is just like what Su Shi wrote, "Go back, go back. A plow of spring rain falls on the river."
