The other is summer. Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellany (Part II) originated from Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. This poem is about the rural scenery of Jiangnan in early summer. In the poem, plums are yellow, apricots are fat, wheat is white, and cauliflower is sparse, which describes the characteristics of rural scenery in the south in summer, with rich flowers and fruits and tangible colors. The third sentence of the poem describes the situation of farmers' labor from the side: in early summer, farmers are busy with farming, so they go out early and return late, so they rarely see pedestrians during the day. The last sentence uses "only dragonflies and butterflies are flying" to set off the silence in the village, which makes it even quieter.
The Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellany combines the poetic traditions of Tao Yuanming to Wei, Chu Guangxi, Meng Haoran and Wei, and the poetic traditions of the Book of Songs to July to Tang Dynasty, changing the archaic style into seven words and showing outstanding creativity in content and form.
