The author of Chengdu Qu? Tang dynasty.
In full of green, a large area of water west of Jinjiang, litchi on the hillside ripens after rain.
There are many restaurants near the bridge in the south of the city. Who wants to stay?
Translation:
Looking west along Jinjiang, the smoke is thick and the water is green. Litchi is just ripe on the mountain where it has just rained. There are many restaurants with good wine near Chengnan Bowl Bridge, which makes tourists here very worried and don't know which accommodation to choose.
Creative background:
This is a poem written by Zhang Ji when he visited Chengdu. The poem expresses the poet's longing for a quiet life by describing the scenery and people's feelings in the suburbs of Chengdu and the prosperity of the market.
Modern scholar Zhang: Poets write about Chengdu, and they are good at grasping the most distinctive scenery and interesting fragments in life, making people feel the beauty of poetry and being infected by the rich flavor of life.
Jinjiang is famous for its clear rivers and bright brocade. It flows through the southern suburbs of Chengdu, with Jiangnan as the township, Jiangbei as the urban area, and merchant ships in the river. This land is both prosperous and beautiful. The first two sentences of this poem show the beauty of the poet when he looks west along Jinjiang. At the beginning of the new rain, under the background of clear water and smoke, litchi is red and fragrant in the fields beside Shantouling.
