Chi Ri Jiang Shan Li,

Spring flowers and plants are fragrant.

Swallows fly in the mud, while Yuanyang sleeps in the sand.

Note

① Late day: Spring is getting longer, so it is said that it is late.

② Mud melting: This means that the soil is moist and moist.

③ Yuanyang: a kind of waterfowl. Both male and female birds often appear.

translation

Jiangshan is bathed in spring, so beautiful, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Swallows are busy building nests with wet mud in their mouths, and couples of mandarin ducks fall asleep in the warm sand.
