"Spring Day in Chang'an" is a seven-character quatrain by Kou Zhun, a poet from the Song Dynasty.
Original text:
The faint Qin clouds are as thin as Luo, and the willows of Baqiao are blowing in the smoke.
The setting sun overlaps the mountains and is more than twice as beautiful as the spring.
About the author:
Kou Ni, a politician and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was known as the "Three Sages of Weinan" together with Bai Juyi and Zhang Renyuan. He was an upright person, and because of his many direct admonishments, he was gradually reused by Taizong. At the age of thirty-two, he became the deputy privy envoy, and was immediately promoted to the post of counselor of political affairs.
Kou Xu has been very smart since he was a child. When he was seven years old, he climbed Mount Huashan with his father and left behind a poem: "Only the sky is above, and there are no mountains with it. When you raise your head, the sun is approaching, and when you lower your head, the white clouds are low." "Hearing the whispers of swallows on the corridor at dusk, when the wheat is autumn with light cold and light rain" ("Summer"), etc., the scenes are blended, beautiful and profound, and they are all masterpieces worth exploring. He is not a lyricist, but he occasionally writes something that is quite readable.
