I came to the east bank of the river in front of Huangshi Tower, sleepy and lazy, bathed in the warm spring breeze.
A peach blossom with no owner is in full bloom. Should I love crimson or light red?

The water in front of the Yellow River flows eastward, giving people a sense of sleepiness and spring breeze in spring.
Clusters of peach blossoms bloom by the river. Are they dark red or light red?

Creation background
This group of poems was written in the spring of the 2nd year of Shangyuan in Tang Suzong (76 1) or the first year of Baoying in Tang Daizong (762) after Du Fu settled in Chengdu Caotang. In the first year of Shangyuan (760), Du Fu lived in Chengdu, Sichuan, and built a thatched cottage beside Huanhuaxi in the western suburbs, looking for a temporary residence.
Du Fu lives in a thatched cottage on the outskirts of Chengdu, which is "the western end of Huanhuaxi and the owner is cousin Brin" ("Buju"); The poet was very satisfied. "But an old friend offered him rice. What else can I ask for?" (Jiangcun).
Therefore, it is spring, but also enjoyment. Du Fu loves life. This is his life and emotional basis for writing this group of poems. In the second year (the third year), in the spring season, he walked alone along the Jinjiang River to enjoy flowers and wrote a group of poems "Looking for Flowers Alone by the River".
