Random translation
Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, there are songs and dances everywhere, green trees and red flowers set each other off, villages near the water, battlements around mountains and wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere. There used to be deep temples filled with smoke, but now pavilions stand in the hazy rain curtain.

Creation background
In the spring of the seventh year of Daiwa in Tang Wenzong (833), Du Mu wrote this poem on his way from Xuanzhou to Yangzhou to visit Huainan.
In the late Tang Dynasty, when Du Mu lived, the Tang Dynasty, as a government, was on the verge of collapse. The separatist regime, the eunuch's authoritarian power and the struggle between the Niu and Li parties eroded the giant's body bit by bit. On the other hand, after Xian Zong came to power, he was fascinated by his achievements in Pinghuaixi and other places and started the dream of eternal life in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was so worried about Buddhism that Han Yu went to the platform of remonstrating Buddha's bones and almost lost his life. After Xianzong was killed by eunuchs, Mu Zong, Jing Zong, Wenzong and others preached Buddhism as usual, the number of monks and nuns kept rising, and the temple economy kept developing, which greatly weakened the strength of the government and increased the burden on the country.
works appreciation
Du Mu is especially good at depicting beautiful and moving pictures with just four sentences and twenty-eight characters, presenting profound and beautiful artistic conception, expressing implicit and profound feelings, and giving people the enjoyment of beauty and the enlightenment of thinking. Poems of Spring in Jiangnan reflect that the aesthetics in China's poems and paintings are beyond time and space, indifferent and free-spirited, with the thought of "epiphany" of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and mostly show poetic feelings of nostalgia, seclusion and freehand brushwork.

In the second year of Daiwa (828), he was a scholar and was awarded the title of school bookkeeper of the museum. He worked as a staff member in other places for many years, then as a censor, a secretariat of Huangzhou, a secretariat of Chizhou and a secretariat of Zhou Mu, and later as a foreign minister of Sixun. I think I have the talent to help the world. Most of these poems quote Chen's works. A lyric poem about the scenery is so beautiful and vivid. It is famous for its seven-character quatrains. People call it Xiao Du, and Li Shangyin is collectively called Du Xiaoli, which is different from Li Bai and Du Fu. There are twenty volumes in the Collected Works of Fan Chuan handed down from ancient times, and eight volumes of his poems are included in The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty.
