Chu Hsi
Winning the day and looking for fragrance in the water, the boundless scene is new for a while.
Waiting for the east wind will always be spring.
This is an impromptu poem that describes the mood of spring outing and the scene of spring. It is also a poem about reason and interest. The author combines the soft and bright spring scenery with the author's enjoyment in a simple way. The first two sentences say that the clouds are light and the wind is light, the flowers shed tears and nature is full of vitality. The third sentence is the turning point and progress of poetry, and the fourth sentence further shows that he is not a leisurely spring outing like a teenager. What he wants to express is a philosophy, an understanding of nature and the universe. The whole poem expresses the natural color and pragmatic kung fu pursued by Neo-Confucianism, and also shows a leisurely and quiet artistic conception. Simple and natural style, simple and popular language.

Appreciation of famous sentences-"Spring is always colorful."
The first sentence points out the season and place of travel, and the last three sentences write what you have seen and heard about "seeking incense" Spring returns to the earth, and the poet is relaxed and happy. It is this fresh feeling that makes the poet know the east wind, as if it were an east wind overnight, blowing away colorful flowers. And the scene of a hundred flowers blooming, isn't it a vibrant spring? The poet deepened step by step from "seeking" to "knowing", and the word "new" dominated the whole poem. But Surabaya is in Shandong, and Confucius once gave lectures and preached on the shore of Surabaya. In the Southern Song Dynasty, this place had fallen into the hands of the State of Jin. Why did Zhu go for a spring outing? It turns out that this is a philosophical poem. In the poem, "Surabaya" means Confucius, "seeking fragrance" means the way of saints, "East Wind" means enlightenment, and "Spring" means benevolence advocated by Confucius. If these meanings are written in the language of philosophy handouts, it will inevitably be boring. But this poem melts philosophy into vivid images, leaving no trace of reasoning. This is the genius of Zhu.
