I. Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Good rain knows the season, when spring comes.
Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.
The wild path is dark, and the river is bright.
Look at the red and wet place, the flowers in Jinguancheng are heavy.
Interpretation: Good rain knows the solar terms of rain, just when plants sprout and grow in spring. As the spring breeze quietly falls at night, it silently moistens everything in spring. On a rainy night, the field path was dark, and only the lights on the river boat flashed alone. Looking at the flowers soaked in rain at dawn, they are beautiful and red, and the whole Jinguan City has become a world of flowers and flowers.
Second, in early spring, Zhang was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Water Affairs.
Tang dynasty: Han Yu
There is a lot of silk in the sky above the avenue, which is as delicate and moist as butter. The grass is vaguely connected in the distance, but it looks sparse in the near future.
This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring of the green willow.
Interpretation: The thin spring rain on Chang 'an Avenue is as smooth as crisp. From a distance, the grass colors are vaguely connected, but it looks sparse at close range. The most beautiful scenery in a year is the early spring, far better than the late spring in the city of green willows.
Third, quatrains
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
"Two orioles sing green willows, and egrets cover the sky."
My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.
Commentary: Two orioles are singing among the green willows, and a row of egrets is heading straight into the blue sky. Sitting by the window, you can see the Millennium Snow in Xiling, and the Wan Li ship from Soochow is moored at the door.
Fourth, Chun Xue.
Tang dynasty: Han Yu
The new year has come, but there are still no fragrant flowers. In February, I was surprised to find that the grass has sprouted new buds.
Snow comes in late spring, which means the flowers in the courtyard are flying.
Interpretation: I still can't see the fragrant flowers after the New Year. At the beginning of February, I was surprised to find that some grass sprouted. Snow also thinks that spring is too late, so it deliberately turns into a flower and flies around among the trees in the yard.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Xuemei No.1
Song Dynasty: Lu Meipo
For the sake of spring, Xue Mei refused to surrender, and the poet put down his manuscript fee to comment on this chapter.
The snow in Mei Xu Xun is three points white, but the snow has lost a kind of plum fragrance.
Interpretation: plum blossom and snowflake both think that they have occupied all the spring scenery, and no one will give up. It is difficult for poets to write critical articles. To be fair, plum blossoms make snowflakes crystal white, but snowflakes lose to plum blossoms.
