2. Grass
Tang: Bai Juyi
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.
Translation:
How lush the long grass is. It is thick in autumn and winter every year.
Ruthless wildfires can only burn dry leaves. When the spring breeze blows, the earth is green.
Weeds and wild flowers spread and flooded the ancient road, and the end of the grass under the bright sun is your journey.
I once again sent away my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.
3. "small pool"

Spring eyes are silent and pity the trickle, and the shade of trees shines on the water and loves sunny and soft.
The delicate lotus flower bud shows a sharp corner from the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stands on its head.

Spring is silent because it can't stand the thin water flow, and the shade reflects the water because it loves sunny days and the softness of the wind.

In April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temple in the mountains have just opened.
