The poems about butterflies are introduced as follows:
1. "Two Poems on Changganxing" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
The moss is too deep to be swept away, and the leaves fall early in the autumn wind.
In August, butterflies come and fly on the grass in the West Garden.
Interpretation:
The green moss is too thick and difficult to clean, the leaves fall, and autumn comes early. In August, yellow butterflies danced on the grass in the West Garden.
2. "Rain and Clear" by Wang Jia of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
Before the rain, the stamens of the flowers were first seen, and after the rain, there were no flowers in the leaves.
Butterflies fly over the wall, but they suspect that spring is in the house next door.
Interpretation:
You can see the stamens when the flowers first bloom before it rains, but after the rain there are no more flowers among the green leaves. Bees and butterflies flew to the other side of the wall, and they still suspected that the spring scenery was in the neighbor's yard.
3. "Two Poems on Qujiang" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
You can see the butterfly deeply through the flowers, and the dragonflies are flying in the water.
The scenery of Chuanxiang is constantly changing. For the time being, we should appreciate each other and do not contradict each other.
Interpretation:
But I saw butterflies shuttling back and forth in the depths of the flowers, and dragonflies flying across the water, tapping the water from time to time. Send a message to Chunguang, let me stay with Chunguang. Although we are temporarily complimentary, don't break it!
4. "Inscription on Chrysanthemums" by Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
The rustling west wind fills the courtyard with plants, and the pistils are cold and fragrant, and butterflies are hard to come by.
If I were the Qing Emperor in another year, I would be rewarded with peach blossoms.
Interpretation:
The rustling autumn wind is coming, and the chrysanthemums in the garden are swaying. The fragrance of the stamens is full of chillness, making it difficult for butterflies and bees to come. One day, I will be the God of Spring, and I will arrange for chrysanthemums and peach blossoms to bloom in spring.
5. "The Qingming Festival" by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpt from the original text:?
The Qingming Festival is important in the emperor, and people are worried about themselves.
The sound of cars is heard on the road, and the east city is green with willows.
Flowers and grasses grow together, and the orioles and butterflies perform.
Sitting in an empty hall and reminiscing about each other, drinking tea and chatting to get drunk.
Interpretation:
It is Qingming Festival once again in Beijing, and people naturally feel sad and longing in their hearts. The sound of carriages was noisy on the road, and the willows on the outskirts of Dongcheng were green. Flowers are blooming and grass is growing. Birds are flying and butterflies are playing in pairs. I sat in the empty lobby recalling the past, drinking tea instead of wine, and chatting.
