The duck prophet of the warm spring water in the spring river
Ducks are playing in the spring water of the river; the river water is getting warmer. They sensed the message first. Ducks know the warmth of water, which cannot be reflected in paintings alone, but the poem expresses it. In fact, it is the ducks who know the warmth of water. All aquatic animals know the warmth and coldness. The poet wrote this to suit the painting. Fengwu actually expresses his joy and praise for the arrival of spring. There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty called "The Bird Seeking the Path Among the Flowers", which has the same purpose as this poem. This poem is very philosophical.

There is not a single word that is general. ."

The author not only It enters the painting and goes beyond the painting, presenting all the things that are not in the painting but in the sense. If all four sentences of the poem are outline descriptions of scenery, the form will be a bit rigid. The processing of the last sentence not only makes The whole poem is lively and lively, which greatly enriches the artistic conception of both the poem and the painting.
