Famous poems about the Jingzhe solar term: "Guantian Family" and "Bodhisattva Man·Spring Rain".
1. "Guan Tian Jia" by Wei Yingwu of the Tang Dynasty
The light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder startles the insects.
The Tian family had a few days of leisure, and farming began.
Translation:
After the spring rain, all the flowers look brand new. A sound of spring thunder awakens all the hibernating animals in the soil.
After just a few days of leisure, the farmers began their spring plowing. Since the day of the Waking of Insects, I have to get up early and work in the dark all day long to do farm work.
2. "Bodhisattva Man·Spring Rain" by Xiao Hanjie of the Song Dynasty
Spring sorrow disappears for a while. It seems that the person is drunk and can't wake up. The misty rain is wet and dry.
The apricot blossoms are frightening and cold. The spit kettle is about to break. Who can make peace with Jue Jing? I need more clothes tonight. Does that person know?
Translation:
On the rainy night of Jingzhe, the poet suddenly felt a wisp of spring sorrow. His longing made people feel as if they were drunk, making it difficult to wake up. The spring rain was as misty as smoke, wetting the railings, and tears gradually moistened my eyes.
In the hibernation season when the apricot blossoms bloom, the spring cold is still there, and the long nights are lonely without anyone to accompany you. I don’t know if the person I miss knows that it’s cold and I need to add some clothes.
Appreciation of "Guan Tianjia":
"The light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder startles the insects." The title of the poem "Tianjia" starts from the spring rain and spring thunder, and points out the spring plowing. The word "light rain" describes the spring rain. The line drawing technique is used, and the "light rain" is not described in detail. Instead, the focus is placed on the three words "all the flowers are new". It not only writes the prosperity of thousands of trees in the spring rain, but also expresses the poet's of joy. "A Thunder Awakens the Insects" describes the beginning of spring plowing based on the folk legend "A Thunder Awakens the Insects" which thunders and all insects startle.
In this poem, the poet describes the labor and hardship of the Tian family in easy-to-understand verses, expresses his sympathy for them, and feels ashamed of the officials who eat without working. The brushwork is simple and natural, without any exaggeration or exaggeration.
