Du Fu, the author of quatrains, lived in the Tang Dynasty.
"Two orioles sing green willows, and egrets cover the sky."
My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.
Translation:
Two orioles sang tactfully among the green willows, and a group of neat egrets went straight into the blue sky. Sitting by the window, you can see the snow accumulated all the year round on Xiling Mountain, and ships from Dongwu, thousands of miles away, are parked in front of the door.
Appreciate:
Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky; Two orioles are singing, and there is a sound. "A line of egrets goes up to the sky" has an act and an action. One horizontal and one vertical, "two" and "one" are opposite; Horizontal and vertical, it opens a very beautiful natural landscape. In this sentence, the word "Ming" is the most vivid, and the personification method is used to describe the image of the oriole.
Then, I talked about "the window contains autumn snow in Xiling". Outside my window, there are thousands of years of snow in Minshan, and in the west, there is a thousand years of snow in Minshan. "Soochow Wan Li Ship" There is a long Wan Li ship parked in front of my house. This forms a welcome and free ride. Welcome this snowy mountain into your sight and send this boat down the river.
One of the authors, Xue Mei, was born in Lu Meipo in Song Dynasty.
Xue Mei refused to surrender for spring, and the poet pavilion commented on the pen fee.
The snow in Mei Xu Xun is three points white, but the snow has lost a kind of plum fragrance.
Translation:
Both plum blossom and snowflake think that they have occupied all the spring scenery, and no one will give up. It is difficult for poets to write critical articles. To be fair, plum blossoms make snowflakes crystal white, but snowflakes lose to plum blossoms.
Appreciate:
Many poets in ancient and modern times often write snow and plum together. Because Meier Snow reveals the information of spring, because Meier Snow shows noble character. For example, in Mao Zedong's Operator Yongmei, he once wrote: "Wind and rain send spring home, and snow flies to welcome the spring. Although the icicles on the cliff are still hanging for miles. There is a sweet flower in it. Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports it. When the flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes.
Snow and plum have become the messengers of spring, and the symbol that winter goes and spring comes. The first sentence uses anthropomorphic methods to write that plum blossom and snowflake compete with each other, and they all think that they are the characteristics of the earliest spring and refuse to admit defeat, which makes the beauty of plum blossom and snowflake in the early spring unique.
It is difficult for the poet to judge between the two. The poet thought it was a stroke of a pen, but because it was difficult to judge, he had to stop writing and think. Comments are evaluations. The last two sentences are the poet's comments on Mei and Xue.
