An almond goes out of the wall.

Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry
The owner of the garden should be afraid that the clogs will trample the moss. Why did the guest beat Chai Men for a long time? How to collect the beautiful spring scenery in the garden? A red apricot flower has already leaned out of the wall.
Appreciation of the famous sentence-"Spring scenery can't close the garden, but an apricot leaves the wall."
The title of the poem is "It's not worth visiting the park", which means that the purpose of visiting the park has not been achieved. But the poet felt it. He thought it might be because the owner was afraid of stepping on the moss in the garden and ruining the beautiful scenery in the garden, so he wouldn't let himself in. In just two sentences, I wrote the poet's understanding and his pity for spring! But the last two sentences of this poem are more popular. Although Chai Men can't open, it's hard for people to close. Did you see an almond sticking out of the wall to show off the beauty of spring? The simple words "can't be shut up" and "come out of the wall" not only describe the beautiful spring scenery in the garden, but also describe the vitality of spring, which is full of spring. Although the host did not visit, the author's mind has been completely occupied by this touching early spring scenery! .
