Visit Qingquan Temple in Qishui, Qingquan Temple is next to Lanxi, and the stream flows west.
The short blue buds at the foot of the mountain are immersed in the stream, and the sand road between the pine forests is clean and mud-free. In the drizzle in the evening, Zigui birds are singing happily.
Who says life can't go back to youth? The running water in front of the door can still flow westward, so don't sigh for the passing of old age.
This word was written by Su Shi during his relegation to Huangzhou in March of the fifth year of Yuanfeng (AD 1082).
The first part of the poem starts from Lanxi in front of the temple and depicts the scene of Lanxi after the rain in late spring and March: there are many bluegrass growing on the upper and lower sides of Lanxi, although they only grow buds, they are full of vitality and grow very gratifying; Walking by the stream, the path is spotless; Whispering dusk rain moistens everything; Zi Gui's cry set off the poet's sad mood. At this time, the poet was demoted to Huangzhou. Although he was appointed assistant minister of Yong ying, he was "not allowed to sign official business". This situation really failed to realize his great ambition.
The following words show that the poet remains open-minded and optimistic in adversity and actively wants to go to school. He got inspiration from the Xixi flowing in front of Qingquan Temple, and realized that knowledge can also be young, mainly depending on how he treats the world correctly, which shows the poet's efforts to cheer up and his persistent pursuit of life.
