2. There are two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest, and the ducks playing in the water first notice the warming of the river in early spring. The beach is covered with Artemisia selengensis and reeds are sprouting short buds. At this time, the puffer fish will swim from the sea to the upper reaches of the river.
This poem successfully depicts the spring scenery in early spring. Su Shi, with his meticulous and keen feelings, captured the scenery characteristics when the seasons changed and expressed his joy and praise for the early spring. The whole poem is full of the breath and vitality of spring, giving people a fresh and comfortable feeling. Su Shi, a poet, put forward "Poetry and painting are of the same origin, striving for perfection, fresh and refined" (two branches of paintings in the main book of Yanling Wang in Shu) and "There are paintings in poems and poems in paintings" (Volume 5 of Dongpo's Inscription and Postscript, Clouds and Rain in Lantian, Ma Shu), which was well verified in his poem "Night View of the Spring River in Hui Chong".
