1. Thoughts of Spring
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
The swallow grass is like blue silk, and the green branches of Qin mulberry are low.
When the king returns home, it is the time when the concubine has a broken heart.
If you don’t know the spring breeze, why should you enter the Luo curtain?
Translation:
The grass in Yan is as green as silk, and the mulberry trees in Qin have green leaves. When you miss your home and look forward to the day you return, I have long missed you and been filled with sorrow. Spring breeze, you and I are strangers, why do you blow into the tent and make me sad?
2. Spring Night
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
The sound of incense embers leaking from the golden stove is faint, and the breeze blows from the wind.
The spring scenery makes me sleepless, and the moon moves the shadows of flowers onto the railing.
Translation:
The night is already deep, the incense in the incense burner has already burned out, and the water in the clepsydra is almost running out. The spring breeze in the second half of the night brings bursts of chill to people. However, the scenery in spring is distracting. As the moon moves, the shadows of flowers and trees quietly climb up the railing.
3. Spring day
Song Dynasty: Zhu Xi
The beautiful day brings beauty to the shore of Surabaya, and the boundless scenery is new for a while.
Easy to recognize the east wind, colorful colors are always spring.
Translation:
It is a beautiful and sunny spring outing on the shore of Surabaya, and the boundless scenery takes on a new look. Anyone can see the face of spring. The spring breeze blows flowers into bloom and becomes a riot of purple and red. Spring scenery is everywhere.
4. Huaizhong Late Park Dutou
Song Dynasty: Su Shunqin
The weeds are green in the spring shade, and sometimes there is a faint fragrance and a tree is bright.
Mooring in Guzhou at night under the ancient temple, watching the wind and rain in the river.
Translation:
The clouds of spring fall over the wilderness, and the grass is green everywhere. Occasionally I see fragrant flowers blooming, which makes the tree bright and beautiful. At dusk, I took a solitary boat and docked under the ancient ancestral hall, staring at the gradually filling tide in the misty rain that filled the river.
5. Jiangnan Spring
Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
Thousands of miles away, the orioles sing green and reflect red, and the wine flags in the mountains and rivers of water are blown by the wind.
There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many towers are in the mist.
Translation:
The vast south of the Yangtze River is full of orioles, dancing swallows, green trees and red flowers, and wine flags are flying everywhere in the villages near the water and in the city walls at the foot of the mountains. Many of the more than 480 ancient temples left over from the Southern Dynasties are now shrouded in mist.
