The poem about Quzhou is as follows:
The plum blossoms are yellow, the sun is clear, the creek is overflowing, and the mountains are flowing. The green shade does not slow down the journey, and the four or five oriole calls are added.

When the plums are ripe and the weather is sunny every day, you can take a boat to the end of the stream and then take the mountain path.

Appreciation of artistic conception
The period in the first sentence indicates the time of this trip. "Plum Yellow Time" is the plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River (Huang Mei Tian). It is rare to have such a "sunny day" The weather is good, so the poet's mood is naturally refreshed, and his interest in traveling becomes more intense. The poet was traveling along the stream in a light boat. When the stream was exhausted, he was still excited, so he left the boat and went to the shore, walking on the mountain road. The word "but" expresses his high interest in entertainment.
Three or four sentences closely follow the "Mountain Journey", describing the dense shade of green trees, refreshing and pleasant, and the singing of oriole, which has a quiet and sweet rhyme, exaggerating the poet's comfortable and joyful feelings. The word "coming from here" quietly transitions from the trip to the return journey, and the word "tiande" implies that the interest is still strong after the trip, so you can notice that there are orioles on the way back to help the fun, which shows the ingenuity of the conception and the precise tailoring of this work. .
