Sometimes we fall in love with something right away, and sometimes it takes a long time. The same goes for poetry. If we're lucky, we open a book and see a poem that attracts us immediately, but usually it takes more time or effort on our part to truly understand the poem.
Today we will talk about how to read poetry, so that reading poetry can become a better pleasure for us.

It is difficult to say what is the best method. Different people have different methods, but one thing is for sure: through reading poetry and practicing, you can enrich your experience, increase your knowledge, cultivate your elegance, and cultivate your thinking. ability.
Dielianhua·Send Spring
——Zhu Shuzhen (Song Dynasty)
There are thousands of willows hanging outside the building.
If you want to stay young, you will have to wait for the spring to return.
Like catkins floating in front of the wind.
Follow the spring and see where it goes.
The mountains and rivers are full of green and Du Yu is heard.
Just be ruthless, don’t worry about others’ suffering.
Give the wine to Chunchun without saying a word.
It is raining lightly at dusk.
Thousands of strands of hanging poplars hang outside the building, as if they want to tie up this beautiful spring scenery, but the spring only stays for a moment and then leaves. Only the catkins are still flying in the wind. With the spring breeze, where will spring go?
A cuckoo’s cry came from the green mountains and fields. Even if the cuckoo is ruthless, its shrill cry does not make people sad. I raised my glass to bid farewell to spring, which was silent, and suddenly it began to drizzle at dusk.
