Gao Ding, a poet in Qing Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Shangrao in his later years and wrote this poem describing spring scenery.
"The grass grows in February and the warbler flies" is about time and natural scenery. It vividly depicts the nature in spring and writes the beautiful and charming scenery unique to the countryside in spring.
In early spring and February, the grass grows green buds, and orioles fly in the sky and sing happily. The long notes of the willows beside the embankment gently brushed the ground, as if drunk, trembling in the spring smoke.
The second half of the poem mainly describes the activities of the characters and the vivid scene of a group of children flying kites in the beautiful spring.
The children left school early and flew kites in the east wind. The child is in the early spring of life. The children's laughter and the cheerful sound of flying kites make spring more vibrant and energetic.
The children, east wind, kites, people and things chosen by the poet add some vitality and hope to the beautiful spring scenery. The last two sentences were written with the first two sentences, which vividly rendered the charm of early spring.
