"The Qingming Festival at Su Di" (Song Dynasty) Wu Weixin
The wind blows from the pear blossoms during the Qingming Festival, and wanderers are half out of the city in search of spring. At dusk, the music and songs are put away. Tens of thousands of willows belong to the wandering orioles.
Translation
On the shores of the West Lake, where the spring scenery is bright and the breeze is gentle, there are many tourists.
In the evening, the people outing on the lake have dispersed, and the singing has stopped, but the West Lake is filled with orioles in thousands of trees, their songs are melodious, and the spring scenery remains the same.
The West Lake during the Qingming Festival is truly described as a paradise on earth, so beautiful.
Notes
Su Causeway was built in the West Lake during the Yuanyou period when Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou.
Pear Blossom Wind, in ancient times, it was believed that there were twenty-four winds coming during the flowering period from Xiaohan to II Guyu. The pear flower wind is the seventeenth flower trade wind. Soon after the pear blossom wind comes the Qingming Festival.
Shengge, music, singing.
Belong to, belong to.
By the way, the ancients attached great importance to the Qingming Festival, and there is a saying that "the Qingming Festival comes morning and the Lantern Festival every night". The artistic conception of this poem is similar to Zhou Mi's poem "Quyou Chun", "It's boiling for ten miles, and the strings and flutes are in disorder. Looking at the painted boats, they are all in Xiling, but half of the lake is leisurely with spring scenery."
Immediately, sing about the things in front of you
The pear blossom wind, pear blossom is the seventeenth flower trade wind.
