The original version of Xiaochi is translated into English. . .

Spring eyes are silent and cherish small streams, and the shade of trees loves sunny and soft according to flowing water.

The silence of spring is because I don't want a long stream of water, and the shadow reflected on the water is like sunny days and breezes.

Lotus just showed its sharp corner, and there were dragonflies standing on it.

The delicate lotus flower bud shows a sharp corner from the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stands on its head.

Vernacular:

Spring is silent because it can't stand the thin water flow, and the shade reflects the water because it loves sunny days and the softness of the wind.

The delicate little lotus leaf just emerged from the sharp corner of the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stood on it early.

This poem comes from a seven-character quatrain written by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty. In this poem, the author uses rich and novel imagination and anthropomorphic techniques to describe in detail the characteristics and changes of natural scenery around Xiaochi. The first sentence says that the pond is connected with running water.

There is a shade on the pond. The third sentence says Xiao He came out of the water with a small pond. Dragonflies have feelings, come and be with Xiao He. It shows the poet's love for natural scenery.

Extended data:

First, the creative background

After the age of 50, the author suddenly realized that he had abandoned all kinds of schools, learned from his predecessors and nature, and formed a unique "sincere body". Poetry praises the natural scenery, is good at capturing fleeting details, improvises, is innovative, has a clear language, is humorous and has a fresh style.

Second, appreciate

This poem is small and exquisite, just like a colorful ink painting of flowers, birds, insects and fish. The pond, spring, stream, lotus and dragonfly in the picture are all small, but they are exquisite and full of 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 it early.

I seem 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.

Poets are excited by things, and use agile and dexterous methods to describe specific scenes full of interest, and write extremely ordinary things in nature as a whole, which is harmonious, lively, natural, vivid, humorous and popular.

This poem is written like a painting, with rich layers: sun, trees, lotus, pond, bright colors, bright sunshine, dark green shade, green lotus, fresh dragonfly and clear spring. The picture is full of motion: flying dragonflies, shadowy pool water, full of poetry and painting.
