A bed of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant.
From Cao Xueqin's Apricot Curtain in Sight in Qing Dynasty.
Apricot curtains attract guests to drink, and you can see a villa.
Lingbi Goose Water, Sang Yu Yanziliang.
A bed of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant.
In prosperous times, you don't have to plow and weave.

The yellow wine flag attracts guests to drink, and the villa is hidden from a distance.
The lake with water chestnut is where geese play, and the branches and leaves of mulberry trees and elms are the beams of swallows' nests.
A leek grows green in the spring breeze, and a rice field is filled with the fragrance of pollen.
There is no hunger and cold in the era of enlightenment, so why bother to plow and weave?

This is a five-character poem written by Lin Daiyu on behalf of Jia Baoyu, which depicts the beautiful scenery of the "Huange Villa" in the Grand View Garden. The title of the poem was designated by Princess Yuan. This is a very excellent poem about scenery.
At the beginning, the poet cut into the topic of poetry in two sentences with concise and clear brushstrokes. On the one hand, the phrase "apricot curtain" not only conveys the vibrant atmosphere of spring breeze, apricot red and willow green, and wine flags flying.
On the other hand, it is a clever combination of the word "apricot curtain" in the poem title. The sentence "in sight" describes the faint scenery of the grange in the distance, and expresses the poet's yearning for the pastoral farm life, thus clarifying this poem. Such a poem is divided into two sentences, and the syntax is round and natural.
