First, the source: "Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple" Tang Bai Juyi
In the world of April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temples have just bloomed. I want to find a place where my life is dying, but I don't know that it has been moved here.
Second, translation:
In April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temple in the mountains have just opened. I often regret that spring has gone nowhere to look, but I don't know that it has come here.
Third, appreciate:
In the first two sentences of the poem, when the poet climbed the mountain, he had already arrived in Xia Meng. It was time for the wheat straw to fall in spring returns. But unexpectedly, in the mountain temple, I met an unexpected spring scene, a blooming peach blossom.
The first sentence of this poem, "Fang Fei is exhausted" and the second sentence, "It begins to bloom", complement each other. Literally, they are chronicles, but in fact they are also writing about the jumping of feelings and thoughts. From a feeling of lamentation, it suddenly turned into surprise, joy, and even be elated.
At the beginning of the first sentence, the poet deliberately used the word "human", which means that this adventure and this scenic spot have brought a special feeling to the poet, that is, it seems that he has suddenly stepped into a fairyland from the real world of human beings and is in another world that is not human.
The last two sentences describe the poet's thoughts. He once hated the ruthlessness of spring because he cherished it and fell in love with it, but he was wrong. It turns out that spring didn't come back, but just sneaked into this place like children and people playing hide-and-seek.
In this poem, peach blossoms are used instead of abstract spring scenery to make spring scenery concrete and beautiful; Moreover, it personifies the spring scenery and writes it as if it really has feet, so you can hide it around.
Fourth, the creative background.
This poem was written in April of the 12th year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (8 17). Bai Juyi was Sima of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) at the age of 46.
