Vernacular translation
one
How beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is. I have been familiar with it for a long time. Spring is coming, and the sun rises from the river, making the flowers on the river brighter than the red ones, and the green river is greener than the blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?
Secondly,
The memory of Jiangnan can best evoke the memory of Hangzhou: you visited Tianzhu Temple in Mid-Autumn Festival to find laurel trees, boarded the county pavilion, rested on it and enjoyed the tide of Qiantang River. When can I go to play again?

Memories of Jiangnan, and then memories of Suzhou Wugong, drinking wine and spring bamboo leaves in Wugong, watching the singers in Wugong dance like charming hibiscus. We always meet again in the morning and evening.
Creation background
Bai Juyi was the secretariat of Hangzhou for two years, and later he was the secretariat of Suzhou for more than a year. When he was young, he roamed the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He knew Jiangnan like the back of his hand, so he was deeply impressed. When he returned to Luoyang for more than ten years after retiring from Suzhou, he wrote these three "Memories of Jiangnan".
The specific time to write lyrics has always been different. It is said that after Bai Juyi left Suzhou; It is said that in the third year (838); It is said that in the first year of Daiwa (827); Wang Guowei said it was written in "Dahe 89". These statements are general and simple and lack factual basis. Liu Yuxi once wrote several poems of "Recalling Jiangnan" and sang with Bai Juyi, so he said in the preface: "The poem of Spring with Lotte is based on the song" Recalling Jiangnan ". This word was written in Luoyang in the early summer of the second year of Tang Wenzong (837), so it can be inferred that these three words of Bai Juyi should also be written in the early summer of the second year.
