Han Yu
There is a lot of silk in the sky above the avenue, which is as delicate and moist as butter. The grass is vaguely connected in the distance, but it looks sparse in the near future.
This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring of the green willow.
This poem describes Chang 'an City in early spring, which is a vibrant scene. If you want to write about early spring, you should write about its characteristics, which is different from the real spring scene of flowers blooming. Han Yu closely follows the theme of "early spring" and writes that grass is tender as soon as it sprouts. After a fresh spring rain, vilen is green and furry. The grass in spring is tender, fresh and lovely, and because it is early spring, the grass has not grown up. Take a closer look and you will see sparse buds. The last two sentences are about the joy brought by the vitality of early spring and the life consciousness of women, which is far better than the color of smoke and willow in late spring.
As spring scenery, the poet made a comparison and rated it high and low. Obviously, he likes early spring, because this is the first news that he has been looking forward to the spring all winter. This strongly proves that everything in nature is endless, and it is full of hope and confidence. The poet is meticulous in observation, clever in expression, natural in language and pure in feelings, and full of love and praise for spring.
The wonderful sentence of the whole article is "the grass seems to be close, but it is not." Imagine: in early spring and February, in the north, when the ice is still hanging under the treetops and eaves, where is spring? Not even a shadow. But if it rains a little, the next day, you see, spring is coming. The foot of the rain in walk on by left the mark of spring, that is, the first spring grass buds appeared. From a distance, there seems to be a very light green, which is the grass color in early spring. Watching, people's hearts are suddenly filled with happy business. However, when you look closely with infinite joy, the ground is sparse and extremely slender buds, but you can't see what color it is. The poet, like a talented ink painter, waved his wonderful pen full of water, vaguely emitting a hint of green, which is the grass color in early spring. From a distance, there are no more images, but when you get closer, you can't see them. This sentence "grass seems to be near, but it is not", which can be said that it is suitable for both far and near and vivid in the air.
The background of this color setting is a slender light rain falling on Tianjie (the street in the imperial city). Seeing the grass color through the rain adds a hazy beauty to the grass color in early spring. And the light rain is as wet as crisp. Crispy is cream. With such nutrients, can grass not be new? With such a background, can grass be beautiful?
Finally, the poet made a comparison: "It is definitely better than the smoke willow in the Imperial Capital". The poet thinks that the color of early spring grass is many times better than the scenery of smoke and willow everywhere in the city. Because the grass color of "looking far but not near" is unique in early spring, it is fresh and moist, symbolizing the rejuvenation of the earth and the prosperity of Vientiane business. Where's the willow? It's time for a "willow pile of smoke", not to mention a "full" city, which is not rare. In late spring and March, the color is strong, but it is not so pleasing to the eye. Using contrast like this, unlike the general, is a double writing, in order to highlight the characteristics of spring scenery.
