In February of the lunar calendar, the grass around the village has gradually sprouted and grown, and orioles are flying around. Willow covered with long green branches, swaying in the wind, as if gently stroking the bank. The evaporated water vapor between Shui Ze and vegetation condenses into smoke. Willow seems to be intoxicated with this beautiful scenery. After school, the children in the village hurried home and flew kites in the blue sky when the east wind blew.
In his later years, the poet was rejected and hit by the Harmony School, and his ambition was hard to pay, so he retired to the countryside in Shangrao. In a village far from the front line of the war, in the quiet early spring of February, the grass grows and the willows brush the river bank. The poet infected by the pastoral atmosphere felt the coming of spring and wrote this poem.
Chen Hengshu, Senior Editor, Middle School Language Room, People's Education Publishing House: In recent years, some anthologies and appreciation articles have called this poem "Gao Ding's improvisation when he retired in Shangrao and lived in the countryside in his later years" ("Zhou Xiaotian Whispering Poems in the Sky", Sichuan People's Publishing House, 20 18).
Some people even said that Gao Ding "suffered the rejection and blow of the peace faction, and his ambition was frustrated. Retired to Shangrao in his later years. The carefree life of children flying kites in the poem is probably the life that the poet yearns for after his ambition is hard to pay "(Li Na's Talking about Ancient Childish Poems in the Chinese Textbooks for Primary Schools of Jiangsu Education Edition, Cultural and Educational Materials, No.20 17 1 issue).
