The poems related to plants are as follows:
1. Plum Blossoms
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone .
I know it’s not snow from afar, because there is a faint fragrance coming.
Interpretation: The few plum blossoms in the corner bloomed alone despite the severe cold. Why do you know from a distance that the white plum blossoms are not snow? Because there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
2. Small Pond
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water, which is clear and soft.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
Interpretation: The spring is quiet because it is reluctant to let go of the thin water, and the shadow of the trees reflected on the water surface is because it loves the sunny weather and the gentle wind. As soon as the delicate little lotus leaf revealed its sharp corners from the water, there was already a naughty little dragonfly standing on it.
3. Climbing high
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand in Zhugong.
Boundless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls by.
Wanli is always a guest in the sad autumn, and he has been sick for hundreds of years and only appears on the stage.
Hard and bitter, I hate the frost on my temples, and my new wine glass becomes turbid.
Explanation: The wind is strong, the sky is high, and the cries of apes are very sad. There are birds circling on the riverbank with clear water and white sand. The endless trees are rustling with fallen leaves, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in. I feel sad about the autumn scenery, wandering thousands of miles and being a guest all year round. I have been plagued by illnesses throughout my life and now I am alone on the high platform. After going through hardships and bitterness, my hair has grown white on my temples, and my heart is full of decadence and I have stopped drinking wine to drink my sorrow.
4. Jiangnan
Han Dynasty: Anonymous
Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are fields of lotus leaves, and fish play among the lotus leaves.
The lotus leaves are to the east, the lotus leaves are to the west, the lotus leaves are to the south, and the lotus leaves are to the north.
Explanation: It’s the season for picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River again. The lotus leaves emerge from the water, squeezed together, stacked on top of each other, and fluttering in the wind. Under the dense lotus leaves, cheerful fish are playing non-stop. It was here for a while, and suddenly swam there again. It was unclear whether it was to the east, west, south or north.
5. Dielianhua·Spring Scene
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The flowers faded to red, green and small apricots. When the swallows, green water around people. There are few willow trees blowing on the branches. There is no grass anywhere in the world!
Swings in the wall and passages outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful women smiling inside the wall. The laughter gradually disappeared and became quieter. Passionate but annoyed by ruthlessness.
Interpretation: Spring is coming to an end, the flowers are withering, and green fruits have grown on the apricot trees. Swallows fly across the sky, and clear rivers surround village homes. The catkins on the willow branches have been blown away less and less, but don't worry, lush grass can be seen everywhere. Inside the wall, there was a girl playing on a swing. The girl let out a beautiful laugh that could be heard by passers-by outside the wall.
Slowly, the laughter inside the wall disappeared, and the passers-by felt lost, as if their passionate self had been hurt by the ruthless girl.
