What do you mean by spring, summer, autumn and winter in ancient poetry?

China people are familiar with the four seasons, which represent different natural landscapes and climate characteristics. This word is widely used as an image in ancient poetry to express the ups and downs and changes of life. Spring means rebirth and recovery, summer means reproduction and harvest, autumn carries the joy of harvest and the sadness of parting, and winter carries the image of peace and rest. The four seasons alternate, and life moves forward in change, which is China people's insight and perception of nature.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter is a year-round cycle, which conveys not only the changes of seasons, but also the cycle of life. The revival of everything in spring symbolizes the new beginning of life, while summer is the season of everything, with high temperature and plenty of sunshine. Autumn harvest brings joy and harvest, but it also symbolizes parting and disappearance, and winter is the season when everything is silent and dormant. This continuous cycle of four seasons reveals the transformation and periodicity of life, which makes us feel the passage of time and the preciousness of life more deeply.

The significance of spring, summer, autumn and winter lies in encouraging us to know the changes of nature and life, and let us gradually understand the meaning of life. The changes of the four seasons bring us not only beautiful scenery and colorful natural scenes, but more importantly, we should be cautious and conform to nature. We need to learn to adapt to the changes in nature and remain calm and wise in the cycle of life. As the ancient poem said, the four seasons are different in scenery, and they are peaceful with the times. It is precisely because of the eternal cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter that we can better understand the infinite meaning of life and time.
