Both these two poems capture the beautiful and pleasant scenery during the Qingming Festival and sing about it. Both poems express the poet's beautiful emotions of loving nature and spring.
Su Di's Qingming Festival does not give a detailed rendering of the wonderful spring outing. The author does not start from the front, but describes it from the side. Taking advantage of the indulgence of tourists and the wantonness of orioles, the festival scenes are described and the scenery of Qingming Festival is depicted. Wanderers looking for spring not only "half-way out of the city", but also "go in the morning and return at dusk". They have fun for a whole day, which shows that the scenery of the West Lake is dazzling and the festive atmosphere makes people forget to leave. Looking at the "Liuying Orioles" again, they reappear in the willow forest after the tourists leave, which illustrates the charm of pleasant beauty. In this way, the poet expresses the clear scenery through side description.
When Ruan Lang returned to West Lake, he expressed the meaning of staying in spring by describing people in colorful costumes and bustling on the Su Causeway, wanting to keep the spring; When the flowers faded in the rain and the catkins fell to the ground and were stained with mud, unable to move, it expressed the feeling of being sad for spring; "Three or three people called boats", which means that spring has gone after the rain, and people also called boats to return home one after another, expressing their gratitude for the return of spring. Feeling sad and helpless.
