1. This poem describes a spring, a trickle, a pool of tree shade, a few small lotus leaves, and a small dragonfly, forming a vivid picture of the scenery of a small pool, expressing The intimate and harmonious relationship between all things in nature.
2. The two sentences at the beginning, "The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the clear and soft water", which brings the reader into a small, delicate, soft and pleasant realm. A trickle slowly flows from the spring. There is no sound in the eyes; under the rays of the setting sun, the green trees by the pool throw their shade into the water, and the light and dark mottled colors are clearly visible. The word "Cherish" turns ruthlessness into affection, as if the spring is flowing slowly and silently because it cherishes every drop; the word "Love" gives life to the green tree, as if it likes the clear and soft scenery. Use water as a mirror to show your graceful grace.
3. In the third and fourth sentences, the poet is like a skilled photographer, using a quick lens to take a very interesting shot: "The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it." It's not yet midsummer, and a lotus leaf has just emerged from the water with a sharp corner, and a small dragonfly is standing on it. One is "talented" and the other is "early standing", taking care of each other, vividly depicting the scene of the dragonfly and the lotus leaf cuddling together.
