Trees surround the village and water fills the pond. Leaning against the east wind, I wandered happily. The small garden is full of spring. There are peach blossom red, plum blossom white and cauliflower yellow.
Far away from the fence, there is a dark hall. Green flag, by the living water bridge. Occasionally cross Donggang. Yinger is singing, Yaner is dancing and butterflies are busy.
2. Translation
Green trees surround the village, and the pond is full of spring water, facing the warm spring breeze, strolling back and forth leisurely. The yard is full of spring, with peach blossoms red, plum blossoms white and cauliflower golden.
Looking through the fence, several thatched houses are faintly visible. Beside the bridge in the middle of the stream, the blue wine cover flutters in the wind. Occasionally, I will take a walk through the hills in the east. I saw Yinger singing, Yaner flying and butterflies flying in a hurry. It was a beautiful spring.
3. Appreciate:
This word describes the pastoral scenery in spring, with lyrical and simple scenery and vivid and fresh language. Ci poems in Tang, Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty generally describe the love between men and women and the love between husband and wife. Describing farm scenery in simple language and light style is different from Qin Guan's usual ci style. The first part of the poem shows a static scenery, mainly describing small gardens and various colorful spring flowers; The next film describes the charming spring scenery of rural hometown, the singing and dancing of birds and butterflies. The uniqueness of a word lies in its vivid colors and vivid images, which are contrary to the sad feelings often found in other words. Through simple description and simple language, the whole poem outlines an idyllic scenery with beautiful spring and everything competing.
The first part starts from the whole village and outlines its outline one by one, which is ordinary and beautiful. "Trees surround the village, and water is full of ponds." The first two sentences of this word say that trees surround the village and spring water overflows the pond.
Let's start with the whole village. This is a symbol of spring coming to the farmhouse, and it is also the poet's first impression of walking near the village. Reminiscent of Meng Haoran's "We look at the green trees around your village" farm, which is ordinary and beautiful.
"I am excited by the east wind." The next two sentences are that I am taking enthusiastic steps in the east wind in the shower.
In these two sentences, the protagonist of You Chun appeared-the poet himself. "East wind" points to the season, "high spirits" shows the intensity of wandering, while wandering shows that the poet is just wandering around without fixed goals and routes. All this is reflected in the following detailed description. These two sentences describe the poet's complacency.
"How big the small garden is, it's all spring. There are peach blossoms, pear blossoms and cauliflower yellow. " In other words, although the small garden is small, it is full of spring scenery. Peach blossom is red, plum blossom is white and cauliflower is golden.
In the process of wandering, the poet's eyes were suddenly attracted by a colorful and spring-like garden and stopped unconsciously. This bright color and rich fragrance constitute a picture of a small garden full of spring, which is colorful and full of vitality.
In the next four sentences, "Stay away from the fence", the author's vision is from far to near. City walls, thatched cottages, green flags, flowing water and small bridges are picturesque, poetic and imaginative. These sentences are also quite similar to the artistic conception in Xin Qiji's poem "Harmony of Partridges is Like Mountain Rhyme": "The mountains are far and near, the roads are inclined, and the bluestone tablets sell wine."
"Occasionally, I took the opportunity to step into Donggang", taking care of the "wandering in high spirits" above, and further writing about its complacency. The phrase "Yinger is singing" is still a close-up of spring, but the location has shifted to the field. Different from the description of quietly blooming flowering plants in the corresponding part of Uptown, the focus here is on animals such as insects and birds, which are extremely dynamic and active; The words "crow", "dance" and "busy" are summed up accurately, and the vitality of spring is written more vividly. Compared with the small garden, it is a different kind of spring.
The whole poem is about scenery, and it is leisurely and full of interest around the clue of the poet's spring outing; Structurally, the last section is symmetrical, forming two relatively independent moving pictures, which reflect each other and are harmonious and unified. In artistic innovation, it has its own characteristics. Poets write landscapes in popular, vivid, simple and fresh language; The simple and natural spring scenery in the countryside is displayed at the relaxed pace of the poet. The whole poem is full of spirit, interest, sincere pleasure and comfort. This style and artistic conception are rare in Qin Guan's poems, but it will open up a new world and have a great influence on the development of later themes and artistic conception.
