It has been seven days in spring, and I have been away from home for two years.

Distinguish and appreciate
According to Liu Ben's Jiahua in Sui and Tang Dynasties, this poem was written by Chen Shi, a poet from the south of the Yangtze River. The style is plain and there seems to be no emotion. However, when you whisper, there will be a bitter homesickness between the lines.
In the first two sentences, the poet briefly tells a fact: "It's only seven days in spring and two years away from home". But the word "talent" reveals that the poet is full of worries, as if he were counting his fingers. Perhaps in his subjective feeling, the New Year has passed for a long time, but after careful calculation, it turns out that spring is only seven days, and time flies so slowly! Just seven days is unbearable. How did you get through two years away from home? The poet expressed his life sentiment with unpretentious poems. Before the arrival of this spring, he intends to return to China; But now that the spring grass will be green, the spring flowers will bloom, and flocks of geese will pass overhead, the poet can't go back. In the last two sentences, the author of the poem first said "people fall behind in geese" and then said "thinking before flowers", comparing the yearning for home with the ending of coming home late in the future. It can be seen that although the author has his own efforts, it is difficult to miss home.
