Village Residence
Qing Dynasty: Gaoding
The grass grows and the orioles fly in the February sky, and the willows brush the embankments and are intoxicated by the spring smoke.
The children came back early from school and were busy flying kites in the east wind.
Translation
In the second month of the lunar calendar, the green grass in and around the village has gradually sprouted and grown, and orioles are flying here and there. The willows are covered with long green branches, swaying in the wind, as if gently stroking the embankment. The water vapor that evaporates between the water and vegetation condenses like smoke. The willows seem to be intoxicated by this rich scenery.
The children in the village hurried home after school and took advantage of the east wind to fly kites into the blue sky.
