Song Dynasty: Zhang Lei
The days in summer are very long, the wind in the village is very clear, and there are many swallows living under the eaves, and their wings have grown up.
Butterflies spread their wings on the branches that bloom at noon. On a sunny day, spiders make a spider's web in the corner.
The moonlight shines on the curtain, leans on the pillow, and listens to the murmur of the stream.
Long gray hair is like frost and snow now, and I always want to be a woodcutter or fisherman to spend my life!

In summer, the days are long, the river village is sunny, and there are many little birds living on the eaves. Their wings have grown out. The butterfly spread its wings and stopped on the flower branch at noon. One sunny day, spiders are leisurely weaving webs in the corner. Moonlight falls on scattered curtains, leans on pillows, and listens to the gurgling stream. My gray hair is now as white as frost and snow, and I have always wanted to be a woodcutter or fisherman all my life!
To annotate ...

This poem expresses the poet's love for a quiet and peaceful life by describing the images of birds, butterflies and spiders at midnight in summer. It expresses the poet's feelings of being indifferent to fame and fortune, hating the secular and wanting to live in seclusion.
The poems of Shou Lian and Julian describe dynamic scenes such as birds, butterflies and spiders. In summer, the days are long, the wind in Jiangcun is beautiful, there are many little birds living on the eaves, and their wings are long; The butterfly spread its wings and stopped on the flower branch at noon. One sunny day, spiders are leisurely weaving webs in the corner. Here, the poet compares the purity of the countryside with dynamic scenes such as birds, butterflies and spiders.
Necklace couplets describe the moonlight sprinkled on scattered curtains, leaning on pillows, listening to the sound of gurgling streams, and the combination of the moon shadow and the flow of streams sets off the tranquility of summer nights from the side. My long-lost hair is as white as frost and snow now. Now I just want to be a woodcutter or fisherman all my life, which fully expresses the poet's satisfaction with seclusion and sincere praise for rural life. The poet likes this leisurely life and hopes to live in seclusion until he is old, thus expressing the poet's dislike of the bustling world and his nobleness of not competing with the world.
There is movement in the whole poem, and there is silence in the movement. The author chooses a summer scene in the countryside far away from the officialdom, and sets off the tranquility of rural life by writing the actions of birds, butterflies and cobwebs, which makes rural life full of business and interest. The hustle and bustle of the whole countryside just shows their peace and the "breeze" in the countryside; The "sunny day" in rural areas is in sharp contrast with the unbearable filth of officialdom. "Inviting the moon shadow at the end of the curtain, the noise is empty, listening to Naxi sound" expresses that the author's heart has been integrated with nature, and his heart has been extremely quiet. The whole poem shows the poet's love for the moon shadow and the sound of streams, his leisurely mood and his desire to retire to the countryside and die in it.

There are three songs in summer. This is the first song.
This poem was written by Zhang Lei who lived in the country after retirement. The first sentence is about the general impression of rural summer. Hot summer makes people fidgety, and it is rare to have a refreshing environment. For cities and officialdom, the countryside is "clear and white". Qing, the connotation can be varied, quiet, quiet, peaceful, indifferent, leisurely and so on, can be described as Qing. Therefore, following the word "Qing", the scenery written in the poem reflects the purity of the environment and the purity of the artistic conception. For example, in the second sentence, "There are crested finches", little finches and swallows fly and sing in front of the eaves all day, which is a little noisy, but birds can frolic in front of the house because the rural environment is quiet. As for Zhuan Xu's writing about butterflies drying powder among flowers, spiders are quieter because of the sunny weather. When the poet noticed these scenes, he didn't feel restless in summer, but he felt cool and harmonious. The above is a pleasant scene during the day and summer. Necklace writing night. The curtain is a "sparse curtain" and the pillow is a "virtual pillow", which shows the emptiness of the environment. The moon comes in through the curtains, just like the shadow of the moon invited to dance; The sound of the stream came to my ears, as if it were wonderfully contained in the pillow letter. The words "invitation" and "acceptance" express the poet's appreciation of the moon shadow and the sound of the stream by writing it as a sentient thing and an accommodating entity. This kind of moonlight shadow and the sound of streams have a cool feeling, and the poet feels all this with a pillow, and his mood is self-evident. At this point, I have successfully written a quiet environment and a leisurely mood, so the last two sentences have become a natural stroke: the poet is willing to work for a long time, his temples are like frost, and the pastoral environment is so pleasant, so he wants to live a pastoral life. Although the poet's songs are a little generous, his comfort and pleasure in rural summer still dominate.
