Extended information:
This is a unique and interesting poem describing a scene. The path is full of flowers, and the branches covered with flowers are hung down. Above the petals are lingering colorful butterflies, which dance around the flower branches. From here, we smell the rich fragrance of flowers. On the path beside the flowers, there are orioles singing crisply. Their lively and comfortable demeanor gives people a relaxed and happy feeling.
The poet uses these extremely rhythmic words such as "Shi Shi" and "Cha Cha", which make the whole bright and colorful picture full of movement, and also make the poem have a brighter and more fluent rhythm. The whole poem is full of colloquial language. It feels very intimate to read, and the heartfelt joy the poet feels in spring comes to mind on the page.
The first sentence points out that the place where flowers are found is on the path of "Huang Si's mother's house". This sentence uses a person's name in the poem, which has a strong interest in life and has the flavor of a folk song. The second sentence "thousands of flowers" is the embodiment of the word "man" in the previous sentence. "Pressing the branches low" depicts the heavy flowers bending the branches, and the scenery is as vivid as before. The words "pressure" and "low" are used very accurately and vividly.
The third sentence writes about the colorful butterflies fluttering on the flower branches, "lingering" because of their love for the flowers, implying the fragrance and beauty of the flowers. The flowers are cute, and the dancing postures of the butterflies are also cute, which inevitably makes people who stroll around "lover". But he may not have stopped, but continued to move forward, because the scenery is infinite and there are many beautiful scenery. "Shishi" is not just an occasional sight. The presence of these two words exaggerates the joy of spring.
While enjoying the scenery, a string of beautiful songs of oriole happened to wake up the poet who was intoxicated in the flowers. This is the artistic conception of the last sentence. The character "jiao" expresses the characteristics of the warbler's soft and soft voice.
"Freedom" is not only an objective portrayal of Jiaoying's posture, but also conveys the happy and relaxed feeling it brings to the author's mind. The poem ends with the sound of the orioles singing "Cha Cha", leaving a lingering rhyme. This poem is about enjoying the scenery. This kind of theme is common in quatrains of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, it is rare to see a poem with such detailed descriptions and exceptionally bright colors as this one. This way of writing is unprecedented.
