From: Xiaozhi Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
The days and personnel change rapidly every day, and then the winter solstice, after the winter solstice, after the weather gets warmer, spring comes back.
Because of the long days, female embroidery workers can embroider several colorful silk threads, and the torch vehicle has flown over Jiaguan.
The river bank seems to be waiting for the last month to pass, so that the willows can stick out their branches and take out new buds, and the mountains can break through the cold so that the plum blossoms can bloom.
Although I am in a foreign land, the scenery here is no different from my hometown, so let the children pour wine and have a drink.

Appreciation of poetry and prose:
The whole poem closely revolves around the "smallest" season, narrating, describing scenery and expressing feelings, full of strong life interest, and cutting without being extensive. The first two sentences, "The weather is right and the people are in harmony, and winter comes in spring", mean that after winter, the days get longer and the sun's spirit gradually relaxes. When the solstice of winter comes, spring is not far away. Using the style of aria, this paper points out that the poem titles of Spring in Yang Sheng and Solstice in Winter are closely related.
Two couplets in the middle: embroidered five elements and weak lines, blowing six tubes of flying dust. The shore is waiting for wax to spread willow, and the mountain is looking forward to plum blossom, which is the natural seasonal feature of the first "winter solstice"; Neck belt directly inherits the landscape characteristics of winter and spring; "Clouds and things are different from a foreign land, and the godson holds a cup in his palm" to express his feelings. In this helpless situation, let his son bring wine!
Things, scenery and feelings are all seasons that poets can only write "minimum", and no other seasons can. This well reflects the poet's keen perception, lofty thoughts, typical material selection and love for life. Exactly: "don't think about infinite things outside, try to have a limited cup before you die."
