Spring Thoughts
Dynasty: Tang Dynasty Author: Li Bai
The swallow grass is like blue silk, and the green branches of Qin mulberry are low.
When the king returns home, it is the time when the concubine has a broken heart.
If you don’t know the spring breeze, why should you enter the Luo curtain?
This is a poem describing the mood of a missing woman. The first two sentences are inspired by the spring scenery of Yan and Qin, which are far away from each other. They describe a missing woman who is alone in Qin and is moved by the scenery. She misses her husband who is garrisoning in Yan all day long, hoping for his early return. The third and fourth sentences are derived from the first two sentences. They continue to write that the swallow grass is green and green, and the husband must miss him. At this time, Qin Sang is already low and the concubine has broken her heart, which further expresses the feeling of missing her wife. The fifth and sixth sentences use the psychological activities of missing her wife when the spring breeze stirs the silk curtains to express her noble sentiments of perseverance and perseverance in love. The whole poem uses scenery to express feelings, which is euphemistic and moving.

In classical Chinese poetry, the word "spring" often contains a pun. It not only refers to spring in nature, but also can be a metaphor for the love between young men and women. The "spring" in the title of the poem "Spring Thoughts" contains two meanings.
