Jiangnanchun
Don Dumu
Jiangnan, the sound of green and red flowers, the waterside village in the foothills.
More than 480 ancient temples were left in the Southern Dynasties, and countless pagodas were shrouded in wind and rain.

Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, everywhere is full of singing and dancing, pink and green, a scene full of spring. In villages near the water and battlements surrounded by mountains, there are wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere.
In the past, there were deep palaces filled with smoke everywhere in the Southern Dynasties, but now these pavilions stand in the misty rain.
Jiangnan Spring is the work of Du Mu in Tang Dynasty. With a lively and meaningful style, the poet outlined a beautiful "spring scenery of Jiangnan water town" for us. In the second half of the poem, the poet secretly satirizes the rulers' worship of Buddha by describing many temples left over from the Southern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Mu Zong, Jing Zong and Wenzong all advocated Buddhism, and Du Mu also felt something about it. The sentence "A thousand miles of warblers sing green and reflect red" highly summarizes the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which is concise and vivid. Some people think that "a thousand miles" is inaudible and invisible, so it is better to change it to "ten miles", but it is not.
