Su Shi's Poems in Song Dynasty —— The Night Scene by the Hui Chong River

This poem not only retains the image beauty of the picture, but also exerts the advantages of the poem. With its rich charm and mixed pen and ink, the poet makes the spring scenery depicted in the original painting so charming. Su Shi has a new idea while describing according to the picture, which makes the beautiful images in the painting more poetic and charming.

Two or three peach blossoms are blooming outside the bamboo forest, and ducks are swimming in the water. They first noticed the warming of the river in early spring. The beach was covered with Artemisia selengensis and asparagus began to sprout. At this time, puffer fish is a good time to go public and can be sold in the market. (A drifting season)

Two or three peach blossoms are blooming outside the bamboo forest, and ducks are swimming in the water. They first noticed the warming of the river in early spring.

The beach has been covered with Artemisia selengensis, asparagus has begun to sprout, and puffer fish is about to swim back into the river from the sea.

Wild geese fly north, just like people who want to go back to their hometown in the north, but they almost fall behind because of their attachment.

Before flying to the north, I knew that the desert in the north was snowy, so I'd better spend half a month in the spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

Two Late Scenes of Hui Chong Riverside are two poems written by Su Shi for Hui Chong in Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) in the eighth year of Shen Yuanfeng (1085). This poem was written in Jiangyin.

Han nationality, Sichuanese, was buried in Yingchang (now Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province).
