The whole poem is as follows:
One: The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is familiar to me: when the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?
Second: Memories of the South of the Yangtze River, the most memorable ones are Hangzhou: searching for osmanthus seeds in the middle of the moon in the mountain temple, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will we visit again?
The third one: Reminiscing about the South of the Yangtze River, and the second one reminiscing about Wu Palace: a glass of Wu wine with spring bamboo leaves, Wu girls dancing with drunken hibiscus. Will we meet again sooner or later?
The meaning of the whole poem:
First: The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so beautiful. The scenery has been familiar for a long time: when spring comes, the sun rises from the river, shining the flowers on the riverside more than ever. The fiery red and turquoise river is greener than the blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?
Second: Memories of the south of the Yangtze River. The most evocative place is Hangzhou: visiting Tianzhu Temple to look for osmanthus seeds in the Mid-Autumn Festival, climbing to the county pavilion, lying on it, and admiring the rising and falling tide of the Qiantang River. When can we travel again?
Third: Memories of Jiangnan, the next step is to recall Wu Palace in Suzhou: drink Wu Palace’s fine wine and spring bamboo leaves, and watch the Wu Palace singers dance like charming hibiscus. When can we meet again?
