It is a seven-character quatrain written by the Song Dynasty poet Cao Zhi (Bοon). Cao Qian (1170-1249) was born in Cao Village, Ruian, Southern Song Dynasty. In his early years, his family was poor and he knew little about Yueqing Qian Wen Zi. In the second year of Jiatai (1202), he was a scholar and was awarded the master book of Jing 'an County by Emperor Lang Longxing. Since then, he has been an official for more than 40 years, and he has stayed in history as an honest and clean patriotic poet.
The original text is as follows:
In the late spring, no one has asked about the fallen flowers on the road, only the shade is boundless and boundless.
The orioles in the Woods stopped crying, but came to the pond covered with grass alone to listen to the frogs.
The translation is as follows:
No one noticed the red flowers falling outside the door, the branches hung low, and the thick green shade spread straight to the ends of the earth.
The crowing of orioles in the tree gradually stopped. Sandy, the spring grass, I stood alone by the pond, listening to the frogs croaking and making noises.
Extended data:
This is a poem describing the scenery in late spring, describing flowers, birds and leaves, setting off the word "dusk" and pointing out the significance of the problem. The beautiful spring has quietly disappeared, the flowers have fallen, and the earth has become lush; Ying Ge is resting, and frogs are everywhere in the pond. A sigh expressed the poet's longing for spring. In contrast, it vividly shows the bustling scene of late spring.
The poet is not sad about the lost spring, but full of joy about the early summer in the future. Therefore, the poem says that we don't care about the falling flowers or the disappearance of the warbler's voice, because the flowers are replaced by green leaves and the warbler is replaced by a frog.
These four scenes coexist in late spring. The poet does not simply juxtapose them, but reflects them in pairs, and emotionally focuses on the appreciation and description of the latter. Therefore, flowers fall and warblers grow old, and poetry only touches on this decline. As for the green Ran Ran, it seems like a brush, smearing the whole world with green leaves; In the grass pond in spring, frogs croak everywhere, and poets listen independently, which is particularly enjoyable.
Poetry makes these new and energetic scenery vivid and colorful, makes late spring interesting, and makes the poet's mood clean and full of interest.
