Whole poem translation
The spring is silent because it can't bear the thin water.
The shade of the tree reflects the water, like a sunny day and the softness of the wind.
The delicate little lotus leaf just emerged from the water, sharp.
There is a naughty little dragonfly standing on it.

Creation background
One year, Yang Wanli went to Changzhou to work. The simple folk customs, the smoke from the farmhouse, the flowing water of the river and the beautiful fields all made him feel fresh. Whenever he has time, he climbs the ancient city, strolls in the countryside, boats in the river and enjoys the beautiful scenery of nature. One day, he came to the pond and saw a clear spring flowing into the pond. The willows brush the water and reflect the blue waves. Xiao He just surfaced, and several dragonflies stood or flew. Although they are not decorated with pink lotus flowers, they are fresh and lovely. Yang Wanli's poems are interesting, that is, they become short poems. Later, Yang Wanli lamented: In the past, writing poems blindly imitated, the thinking was not smooth, and there was no gas field. Now, let nature take its course, and I will try my best to write poetry.
works appreciation
This poem expresses the author's love for life. Through the description of spring water, shade, lotus and dragonfly in the pond, we can draw a simple, natural and vivid picture with infinite vitality.
The first sentence, closely related to the topic, is the source of a small pool, a trickle of spring water. The spring water flowed out of the hole silently, of course, it was very small. The flowing spring forms a trickle, smaller. This is a very common thing, but the author added a word "poor" out of thin air, saying that Yan Quan seemed to cherish it and was reluctant to shed more money. So this poem immediately flew and became affectionate, interesting and full of humanity.
In the second sentence, write the shade in the soft sunshine and cover the water. This is also a very common thing, but the poet added the word "love", which seems to cover the pond with her shade to prevent the water from evaporating and drying up, thus turning ruthlessness into sentience. Moreover, the poem takes the form of shadow, focusing on the soft branches on the water, which is very ethereal.
In three or four sentences, narrow the focus and write about a small lotus flower in the pool with a dragonfly on it. Xiao-he just put her budding tip out of the water, showing great vitality, but there was a little dragonfly standing on this tip long ago, which seemed to get there first and enjoy the spring scenery. Xiao He and Dragonfly, a "talent show" and an "early riser", look at everything around them with novel eyes and capture fleeting scenery.
This poem is like a painting with rich layers: sun, trees, lotus, pond, bright colors, brilliant sunshine, dark green shade, green lotus, fresh dragonfly and clear spring water. The picture is full of motion: flying dragonflies, shadowy pool water, full of poetry and painting.
