The whole poem "Things are like a dream of spring without trace" is:
The east wind refused to enter the East Gate, but it took a short walk to find the old village.
people are like Qiu hong, and things are like spring dreams.
three glasses of Jiangcheng white wine make the wild old man smile warmly.
I have made an appointment for this meeting every year, so I don't need to be endowed with evocation.
Translation:
The east wind of spring still refuses to blow into the east gate. You and I have already rode out of the city to find the village we visited last year. People are like wild geese in autumn, and there are traces of news when they come and go. But the past is like a big dream in spring, without even a trace left.
Let's go to the pub near Jiangcheng and have 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 warm smiles on their vicissitudes of life. We have agreed to go out for an outing in the East Gate every spring, so, my old friends, you don't have to worry about it.
Origin: Su Shi's poem "On the 2th day of the first month, Pan Guoer was born in the suburbs in search of spring" in Song Dynasty
Appreciation of poetry
When the author wrote this poem, he had been in Huangzhou for two years, and the terrible waves of Wutai poetry case were a thing of the past, but the poet's dilemma of "resettlement in this state" could not be got rid of.
The last two sentences of this poem are not complaints or irony, but a kind of true feelings. Su Shi sent his love poems and books in Huangzhou, making new friends and old friends, especially eager to benefit the people, which was different from the passive seclusion of frustrated scholars.
When he is most frustrated and miserable, he always tries to comfort himself and everyone and live happily. This is his spiritual strength to survive all disasters. When he died, he said to his son, "I am not evil in life, but I will not fall in death." People admire him and commemorate him. One reason is that he is excellent in poetry, words, writing, calligraphy and painting. Another reason is that he has an honest and honest heart and an open mind.
