Appreciation:
"Quequa·Chirijiangshanli" is a poem in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's collection of poems "Du Gongbu Ji". This poem was written by the poet Du Fu after two years After returning to the thatched cottage in Chengdu from wandering around, I faced the spring scenery in the Huanhua River area. The first two sentences are an external description of the environment, while the last two sentences are a detailed description of the environment. The artistic conception of the whole poem is bright and distant, the style is fresh, the contrasts are neat, but it is natural and smooth, without any polish.
