Wang Ling

In March, the remaining flowers have fallen and bloomed more, and swallows are flying from the small eaves every day.

Zigui still cries for blood in the middle of the night, not believing that the east wind will not call him back.

Wang Ling (1032~1059) was a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. The first name was Zhongmei, and later the name was changed to Fengyuan. Originally from Yuancheng (now Daming County, Hebei Province). He lost his parents when he was 5 years old and lived with his uncle Wang Yi in Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). After growing up, he made a living by teaching in Tianchang, Gaoyou and other places, with the ambition of governing the country and bringing peace to the people. Wang Anshi spoke highly of his articles and conduct.

March: March in the lunar calendar and April in the solar calendar are late spring and spring is almost over. Update: again, again.

Eaves: eaves.

Zigui: cuckoo bird. Crying blood: describing the sorrow of crying. According to legend, Du Yu, the king of the ancient Shu Kingdom, perished and turned into a cuckoo. From spring to summer, it crows endlessly. The sound is so miserable that it makes blood cry from the mouth, so it is said to cry blood.

Do not believe: do not believe. East wind: spring breeze.

(Late spring) In March, the flowers fade and bloom again; under the low eaves, swallows fly away and come back every day. The cuckoo bird is still chirping at the top of its lungs in the middle of the night; (it, the cuckoo bird) does not believe that (it sings at the top of its lungs to stay) the spring breeze will come back without leaving.

The flowers fall and bloom again, the swallows fly away and come back, (Cuckoo | I believe that the east wind will also go and come back. It is said to be a cuckoo, but it is actually a poet. It is said to send spring, but in fact it is to stay spring, but Spring really cannot be called back. Although spring will come after spring, it will be the spring of the coming year, and this spring will not be the same.

"If you don't believe that the east wind can't call you back," it seems to be a famous saying. But whoever cares is sad, because the sun and the moon reincarnate, late spring passes by early summer, the poet can't change, and the cuckoo can't change.

In fact, the cuckoo's name is "cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo quickly". The sound is not to cherish the spring or to stay in the spring, but to let people "it's cuckoo time, go and plant the rice seedlings", and don't violate the season.

Put a hat on a cuckoo that says, "If you don't believe that the east wind can't call you back," the cuckoo said, "It's too big for me to wear! I still like cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!"
