The small bridge on the flat river bank is surrounded by thousands of people. Shui Rou blue, lingering with flowers and plants. There are some windows in the hut. Dust can't reach it. There is always a spring breeze.
Go to bed in the afternoon and smell the birds. Sleeping is like getting up early and listening to chickens crow. It suddenly occurred to me that an old friend is always old today. Dreaming is good. I forgot Handan Road at a loss.
Translation translation
The mountains are green and the bridges are surrounded by flowing water; The river is blue, full of flowers and green grass. The bamboo forest is deep and beautiful, and several huts stand quietly among them. Warm spring breeze blows from time to time, making the house clean and free from dust.
When I woke up after a nap, my ears were full of tactfully singing birds. Lying on the pillow, I remembered that when I was an official, I heard the cock crow in the early morning. This scene seems like a lifetime ago. It suddenly occurred to me that my old friends are old, and I am no exception. Now I am greedy for leisure, and I have forgotten my dream of making achievements in politics.

Creation background
This is the work of Wang Anshi in his later years. Ye Mengde's "Summer Notes" records: "Wang doesn't like sitting for a long time, so he has to lie down. I lived in Xiegongdun, Zhongshan at night and raised a donkey. Every time I eat, I will go to Zhongshan every day and take a walk in the mountains. If I am tired, I will sleep in the forest and often go back to the daytime. " This long-term "travel observation" led the poet to create a large number of scenery words describing mountains and rivers. This word is one of them.
Appreciation of poetry and prose
This word is the author's work in his later years, and the artistic tempering is more mature in the earlier years. Critics have always admired Wang Anshi's lyric poems in his later years, but they often ignored this kind of ci style. In fact, this word is better than its similar poems. The main feature of this word is that it is good at integrating poetry into words.
The first two sentences are beautiful and famous, which come from melting other people's poems. Wu Yu recorded Wang Anshi's "seeing a unique skill in the wall of a family on the river" in his poem "Viewing the Forest", and deeply savored his first sentence "A river is full of spring and water". In order to hesitate for a long time, he once wrote a small poem, including a sentence, "A small bridge on a flat embankment is surrounded by thousands of flowers." Guy used his words. "Look at the poet is good at refining poetry, natural. He used "one water" to summarize "one spring water" and added the word "lingering flowers and plants" to set off the spring scenery, which enriched the content of the original sentence and extracted the essence of the original poem, which was skillfully and naturally integrated. " "Soft clear water" describes the clear blue water, and "soft" is light and appropriate, vivid and vivid, which makes the picture of Ci present a beautiful, fresh and quiet color beauty. "There are several windows in the hut", and "graceful" is used to describe the depth of the windows, which reflects the profundity and beauty of the bamboo forest around the hut. The poem "In the Bamboo" written by him at the same time can be read as follows: "In the bamboo, Mao leans on the stone roots, and the bamboo stems are sparse, so you can see the former village. No one arrived at the end of the day, and the spring breeze swept the door. " This is a general picture of "several huts" between the lines. The three sentences of "Hut" contain all the scenes of the poem "Bamboo Lane", but the rhyme is continuous, integrated and more precise. The phrase' Sleep until the afternoon to smell the birds' expresses the poet's carefree mood and quiet mood with flowers and birds and mountains and rivers. The phrase "sleeping", from waking up to smelling birds, is associated with "riding a horse and listening to chickens crow" in the early days of politics, as if it were a lifetime ago. This is not a long-term meditation, but a common psychological reaction after gorgeous return to dullness.
As a result of the comparison, the cock's sound on the horse is more pleasant than the bird's sound on the pillow at this time. This meaning is added as follows. "Suddenly remembering an old friend is always old today" reflects one's old age. At this point, the afternoon dream of gossiping has lost the illusion of "building a reputation and going out into the phase" made by Lu Sheng Handan Road (see Tang's Pillow in the Heart). The whole poem starts with the scene, with a complex, and communicates between emotion and scenery with the dream of an afternoon cabin, which makes the two films have a clear boundary.
In his later years, Wang Anshi's landscape poems presented a quiet beauty, which reflected his interest and state of mind in life after retiring from politics: he was tired of the world, but he yearned for nature infinitely, and often expressed his deep feelings through natural scenery.
