Said by: In early spring, eighteen members of Zhang Shui Department were presented, which was a seven-character quatrain written by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. Original text:
Early Spring in the Capital: Arriving at Zhangji
Tang dynasty: Han Yu
There is a lot of silk in the sky above the avenue, which is as delicate and moist as butter. The grass is vaguely connected in the distance, but it looks sparse in the near future.
This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring of the green willow.
Translation:
There is a continuous rain over the Capital Avenue. It is as delicate and moist as ghee. From a distance, the grass is faintly connected, but when you look closely, it looks sparse and sporadic. This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring in the city of green willows.

Creative background:
This poem was written in the early spring of the third year of Tang Muzong Changqing (823). At that time, Han Yu was 56 years old and served as assistant minister of the official department. Although the time is not long, I am in a good mood at this time.
Not long ago, there was a rebellion in Zhou Zhen (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), and Han Yu was ordered to go to Fu Xuan to surrender the rebellion. Mu Zong was so happy that he was promoted from assistant minister of Ministry of War to assistant minister of official department.
Appreciate:
This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the beauty of early spring. The first sentence describes the light rain in early spring, using "moist as crisp" to describe its smoothness and wetness, writing its characteristics very accurately, and using beautiful words and sentences.
There is also Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently "has the same effect." The second sentence closely follows the first sentence, which describes the scenery after the rain. It's green from a distance, but it's not green from a close look. It depicts the hazy scene of grass soaking in rain in early spring.
This can be compared with Wang Wei's "Fogs, when I enter them, they disappear" and "The color of the mountain exists and does not exist". Three or four sentences praise the scenery in early spring: "The most important thing is the benefits of spring, which is definitely better than tobacco willow." The light rain and grass color in early spring are the most beautiful things in spring.
Far more than the decline of the late spring scenery in the city of smoke and willow. Poetry about spring scenery, in Tang poetry, mostly takes beautiful late spring, but this poem takes early spring to chant it, thinking that early spring is better than late spring, which is innovative.
This poem praises the early spring, which can capture the soul of the early spring and give readers endless aesthetic interest, even surpassing painting. The poet has no crayons, but he uses poetic language to describe colors that are extremely difficult to describe.
A pale, seemingly absent color. Without keen observation and superb poetry, it is impossible to refine the natural beauty of early spring into artistic beauty. Han Yu also made bold exploration and innovation in poetry expression.
Writing poems with the method of writing fu is extravagant, extravagant and discredited, and poor. The poem Nanshan is a masterpiece in this respect. The whole poem rhymes 102, 1000 words. It consists of seven antithetical sentences and 5 1 poem with the word "or" at the beginning.
Write about the majestic Mount Zhongnan and the changes of the four seasons. It is very detailed to read, but it is quite complicated. Another example is the famous "Lu Hun Huangfu _ A Mountain Fire with its rhyme", which describes the fierceness of a mountain fire.
This is an extraordinary creation, but it is extraordinary, so it is new, but it is strange. Curiosity, strangeness and uniqueness are the main goals that Han Yu pursues in poetry art.
