"The Dream of Spring Without Trace" comes from Su Shi's seven-character poem "On the twentieth day of the first month, Pan Guosheng was born in the suburbs in search of spring".
Original text:
On the twentieth day of the first month, Pan Guoer went to the countryside to find spring. Last year, he went to the Queen's city to write poems and rhyme on the same day.
Author: Su Shi
Dongfeng refused to enter the east gate, and the horse went to find a village.
People are like Qiu Hong, and things are like spring dreams.
Jiangcheng three cups of white wine, wild old pale face a warm smile.
I make an appointment for this meeting every year, so I don't need to assign "evocation".
Poetry translation:
The east wind of spring still refuses to blow into the east gate, and you and I have already rode out of the city to find the village we visited last year. People, like autumn geese, come and go with traces of news. But the past is like a big dream in spring, without even a trace left. We went to the pub on the edge of Jiangcheng and drank three glasses of good wine brewed by the restaurant. The folk customs here are simple, and the old people in the countryside will welcome you with a warm smile on their vicissitudes. We agreed to go for an outing in the East Gate every spring, so, old friends, you don't have to worry.
