Interpretation: The warm spring breeze has once again blown the fields in the south of the Yangtze River green. When will the bright moon shine on me and return to my home under the Zhongshan Mountain?
It's from "Boarding Guazhou" written by Wang Anshi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:
Guazhou in Jingkou is separated by several mountains.
The spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan. When will the bright moon shine on me?
Interpretation in vernacular Chinese: Standing at Guazhou Ferry, looking south, there is only a Yangtze River between Jingkou and Guazhou, and Zhongshan, where I live, is hidden behind several mountains. The warm spring breeze has once again blown the fields in the south of the Yangtze River green. When will the bright moon shine on me and return to my home under Zhongshan Mountain?
The poet pays great attention to the accuracy, vividness and visualization of words in his poems. The word "green" was originally an adjective, but it means "blowing green" in his poems. This is called causative usage in ancient Chinese, which is a wonderful use of adjectives as verbs, which shows the poet's extraordinary skill in choosing words and making sentences.
