Original text of Xixi Chuzhou
Alone, grass grows by the stream, and orioles sing on the trees.
The spring tide brought the rain late and urgent, and there was no boat on the wild crossing.
Translation of Xixi Chuzhou
I like the weeds growing by the river very much. They are so quiet and interesting. Deep in the forest along the river bank, there is a constant cry of orioles, which is so euphemistic and beautiful. Because of the spring rain in the evening, the river flows more rapidly like the tide; In the dusk of the wilderness ferry, no one crossed the river, only the boat floated alone by the river.

Appreciation of Xixi Chuzhou
Enjoy 1
Wei was a famous pastoral poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. Xixi Chuzhou is his masterpiece. The poet described a series of images of mountains with his wonderful pen of flowers, which are very natural and interesting, but also full of painting.
Wei's poems always seem to have an indissoluble bond with the word "independence": "Where is the solitary bird going to the southeast?" This is "independence"; "Fire is forbidden in the rain, and warblers sit and listen alone on the river" is also "independence"; "However, the world is cold and unpredictable, and spring only brings me sadness and fatigue" is still inseparable from the word "independence". The poem begins with "independence", which is very eye-catching. Wei's "independence" has its richer connotation, and it is a mentality that does not want to be confused with the secular. It is because of this kind of mind that he has a love for the grass by the stream.
The poet walked alone in the mountain stream, the grass was growing, the water was gurgling, he looked up, the Woods were gloomy, and orioles were singing up and down. The poet seems to have inadvertently touched such a picture of beautiful scenery, green grass and flowers in an extremely indifferent style. Spring is fading away, and orioles are singing spring songs in the depths of the forest shadows. This song reflects the tranquility of Chunshan. This kind of tranquility is by no means silence. The grass is green, the water flows by itself, and the birds call by themselves. This is a quiet and energetic realm. There is no doubt that this realm is permeated with the poet's emotions, and it is the artistic image depicted by the poet with his leisurely and leisurely feelings.
Because of "pity", there is "doing", because of "doing", there is "listening" and "seeing". Without a "pity" mind, there will be no such harvest brought by leisure. It is precisely because of this leisure that it has a unique poetic meaning: "Spring tides bring rain late and rush, and no one crosses the boat in the wild." Unexpectedly, at this moment, the wind and cloud suddenly changed, and it rained suddenly. Suddenly, the stream surged and the spring tide surged. The word "urgent" broke the tranquility of the mountain stream, showing the trend of spring tide and spring rain flying. However, what we read is behind the word "urgency" of the poet's leisure. Imagine that the ferry in the country is lonely and empty, and the empty ferry floats freely in the wind and rain. Isn't this kind of leisurely boating just leisurely?
Whether it is the grass beside the ravine, the chirping of deep trees, the late rain in the spring tide or the wild crossing in the wilderness, the poem constitutes a bleak and distant natural image. The poet's pen is quite a "genius pen". Although every word is situational language, it is actually a language of perception; Although every word is inseparable from the scenery in front of us, every word is closely related to the poet's mood. This state of mind is a kind of leisure and tranquility that eliminates worldly troubles and has nothing to desire.
Poets have been floating and sinking in the sea of officialdom for a long time, and they are tired of the bustling songs of greeting and responding. What he prayed for was an unpolluted Qingming, and what he expected was a soul baptism from natural storms.
The poet cleverly hides his feelings behind the scenes, which is out of reach and delicious. And this kind of emotion is not only flashed from a scene, but permeated between the lines of the whole poem, making this poem far-reaching in artistic conception and lasting in charm.

Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry
Lovely hollow grass grows quietly by the stream, and cheerful orioles sing in the deep forest. Spring tides rush with the dusk rain, and only a lonely boat crosses the desert ferry.

Wei (737-789) was born in Chang 'an (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi). During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he served as the "Sanweilang" of the imperial court, and later served as the secretariat of Chuzhou, Jiangzhou and Suzhou. His works include Wei Suzhou Collection.
This poem was written by the author when he was the secretariat of Chuzhou, that is, in the second year of Tang Dezong Jianzhong (78 1). This is a famous landscape poem and one of Wei's representative works. This is about what the poet saw and felt when he traveled in late spring.
"I feel sorry for the grass, and there is an oriole singing in the tree" is what I saw and felt on a sunny spring day. In the spring season, the crowd has passed, and the poet strolled to the stream, but when he saw the lush grass, he loved it very much, so he "only pitied the quiet grass." "Youcao" is not as charming as a beautiful flower, but it is neither lonely nor fashionable, which just won the poet's love. The word "solitary pity" is full of color, which is the poet's unique feeling. It reveals the author's carefree and peaceful state of mind. Ancient sages often used flowers and plants as metaphors. Zhou Dunyi, a philosopher in the Song Dynasty, "Tao Jinyuan loves chrysanthemums alone; Since Li Tang came, people all over the world love peony. The saying that lotus leaves the mud but is not stained, clear but not demon is straight outside, does not crawl, smells far and clear, and looks far but not ridiculous. It's the same as cherishing grass. If "living alone in Jingcaoxi" is a static scene, then "there are orioles singing in the trees" is a dynamic scene. In the depths of the tree, songbirds are singing, which obviously shows that it was a beautiful spring day, a sunny day. In addition, the grass is "secluded", and the oriole sings tactfully in the "deep tree", which is both dynamic and static, and writes the poet's cheerful and open-minded.
The art of "spring tide comes late to rain, and there is no boat on the wild crossing" focuses on writing the rain scene of the wild crossing in the evening. Here, the style of the work has changed, which is in sharp contrast with the above. Above is the lush grass by the river, the singing of deep trees and the singing of orioles. It is a beautiful spring. The deserted "wild crossing" here was originally a boat "self-crossing", but it happened to catch up with "being late" and "spring tides bring rain", giving people a predictable feeling. However, the poet's feelings are not sadness and sadness. After careful tasting, it is not difficult to see that "the spring tide comes late and it rains" permeates some hopes and sustenance to some extent, and "crossing the river without a boat" also means self-love and self-appreciation.
This song is unique in structural arrangement, originality and emotional expression. The first two sentences "I am alone in the grass, and there are orioles singing in the trees." The environment is bright, cheerful, deep and quiet; "Spring tides bring rain late and rush, and there is no boat crossing in the wild" constitutes a typical environment, which forms a causal relationship with the following; The words "urgency" and "self" take care of each other, accurately express the poet's inner emotional consciousness, and skillfully integrate the description of objective scenery with the expression of inner feelings, which is implicit and clear.
