Hu Die both went into cauliflower, and no visitors came to this family for a long time. The chicken flew over the fence and the dog barked until it knew that a businessman had come to buy tea.
Translation:
Butterflies fly around in the cauliflower field; The days are long and there are no guests at home. Suddenly I heard chickens flying over the fence and dogs barking, and I knew that a tea merchant had come to buy tea.
The first two sentences of the poem describe the daily pastoral scenery, and butterflies fly longer. This describes the daily pastoral scenery from the front, and the first sentence also shows that it is late spring.
The last two sentences of the poem describe the dynamic scene when the tea merchants come. When tea merchants come to buy tea, even chickens and dogs are amazed, reflecting that few outsiders come and many strangers come, and everyone attaches great importance to it. This is a vibrant scene, but it further illustrates the tranquility of the countryside.
The greatest feature of this poem is the contrast between silence and movement. The first sentence is a moving landscape, but it deepens the silence of "no guests come to Tianjia for a long time". Three or four sentences are moving scenery, but they set off the silence described in the whole poem.
Secondly, "butterflies both enter cauliflower" is described by grasping the details of rural static scenery. This poem describes the quiet scenery of the countryside in late spring and shows the author's love for rural life.
