The ancient poem "Quequa" is a five-character quatrain created by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
This poem uses natural and smooth language to describe a vibrant spring scenery, with a fresh style and bright artistic conception, expressing the poet's happy mood of loving nature. This set of five-character quatrains is the poet's early work while wandering in the southwest. It was written in the late spring of 764 AD (the second year of Guangde), when Du Fu was in the thatched cottage in Chengdu.
The original text of the quatrain: The river and mountains are beautiful in Chiri, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and grass. The mud melts and swallows fly, and the sand is warm and mandarin ducks sleep.
