2. Appreciation
This poem describes the fishing scene during the spring flood period in the Jiangnan water town. There are distinct colors of mountains and waters, as well as the image of a fisherman. It is a landscape painting written in Chinese.
The first sentence is "The egret flies in front of Xisai Mountain". "In front of Xisai Mountain" points out the location. "Egret" is a symbol of leisure. It writes about the egret flying freely, setting off the leisurely contentment of the fisherman. The second sentence "peach blossoms and flowing water, mandarin fish are fat" means: the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the river water is rising sharply, and the mandarin fish are growing fat at this time.
The contrast between peach red and water green here represents the scenery of lakes and mountains in front of Xisai Mountain in late spring, and exaggerates the living environment of the fisherman. Three or four sentences, "Green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle" describe the fisherman's mood when fishing.
The fisherman, wearing a green bamboo hat and green coir raincoat, was so happy in the slanting wind and drizzle that he forgot to return home. "Slanting wind" refers to a gentle breeze. The whole poem has bright colors and lively language, which vividly expresses the fisherman's leisurely life.
