3. "Early Spring Presented to the Eighteen Members of the Water Ministry (Part 1)" by Han Cong of the Tang Dynasty - the most advantageous thing about spring is that it beats the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital.

The spring rain moistens everything, and the grass color is vaguely connected, giving people a moist, comfortable and fresh beauty. In late spring, the city is covered with green willows. Although the scenery is still beautiful, it is slightly more lush than in early spring.
4. "Quatrain: A short canopy tied in the shade of an ancient tree" Zhinan, Song Dynasty - The rain of apricot blossoms makes your clothes wet, and the willow wind blows on your face without chilling it.

5. "Farewell to Friends on the Huai River" Zheng Gu of the Tang Dynasty - Yangliuchun at the head of the Yangtze River, Yang Hua Chou killed the people crossing the river.
Appreciation: Here, the willow tree has become a symbol of spring, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The poet uses the contrast between willow trees and poplars to reflect the natural landscape and personal emotions to express the feeling of parting. You can feel the poet's deep friendship for his friends and his reluctance when parting.
