There is no choice but the flowers fall away,
The familiar swallow returns.
Yan Shu was the Prime Minister of Taiping in the Northern Song Dynasty. His style of poetry belonged to that of Feng Yanji, and he was only famous for writing "Xianchou". This poem is about the poet holding a glass of wine in his hand, listening to Jia Ji singing new lyrics, lamenting the flowers blooming and falling, autumn passing and winter coming, the little swallows returning to their hometown, a year has passed again, and I can't help but feel great For sadness and melancholy. He wandered alone in the yard along the path covered with fragrant flowers, with no plan to distract himself. He wandered alone in the yard along the path covered with fragrant flowers, with no plan to distract himself. The mood of this poem can be summed up in two words: melancholy. The essence lies in the two sentences "The flowers have no choice but to fall away, and the familiar swallows return". It goes without saying that the craftsmanship is skillful, but more importantly, it is large in capacity and strong in generalization, which expresses the laws of nature. This word is short and clear, touching the scene and feeling the emotion, and has a subtle meaning, expressing the melancholy and deep thoughts of late spring. In the poet's eyes, the weather, pavilions, and sunset are the same as they were last year. The return of time and scenery represents an irreversible passing of time. The whole poem uses dynamic sights and sounds to contrast the quiet realm and mood. The poet's feelings are delicate, his writing style is elegant, and a touch of loneliness emerges in the quiet atmosphere.
