"Suddenly a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees" comes from "The Song of White Snow Sending Judge Wu Back to the Capital" written by Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty. The poem is as follows: Bai Xuege sends Magistrate Wu back to the capital
Tang Cen Shen
The north wind blows and the white grass breaks on the ground, and the sky is full of snow in August. Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom. It scatters into the bead curtain and wets the Luo curtain, and the fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin. The general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the guards' iron coats are cold and uncomfortable. The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and the gloomy clouds condense thousands of miles away. The Chinese army prepares wine and drinks for the returning guests, playing fiddles, lutes, lutes and flutes. Snow falls one after another on the camp gate, and the red flag is blown by the wind and does not turn over due to the freezing cold. I saw you off at the east gate of Luntai. When you left, the road to Tianshan Mountain was covered with snow. You can't be seen on the winding mountain road, leaving a place for horses to walk in the sky above the snow.
Poetic:
The north wind sweeps across the land and breaks the white grass, and heavy snow falls in the sky in the northern part of the country in August.
As if the spring breeze blew overnight, pear blossoms bloomed on the trees.
Snowflakes flew into the bead curtain and wet the silk curtain. The brocade quilt was too thin even if the fox fur was not keeping warm.
The general and soldiers were too cold to draw their bows, and their armor was too cold to put on.
The boundless desert is covered with thick ice, and the sky is filled with bleak and gloomy clouds.
In the coach's tent, wine was placed to bid farewell to the returning guests, and an ensemble of fiddles, pipa, lutes and flutes was played to entertain the guests.
In the evening, heavy snow kept falling in front of the camp gate, and the red flag was frozen and could not be pulled by the wind.
Outside the east gate of Luntai I send you off to Beijing. When you left, the Tianshan Road was covered with heavy snow.
You are no longer visible on the winding mountain road, leaving only a line of horse hoof prints on the snow.
