Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake
Author: Bai Juyi
North of Gushan Temple and west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low.
Early orioles are vying for warmth in several places, while new swallows are pecking at the spring mud.
The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves.
My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, with its green poplar shade and white sand embankment.
Three Poems on Recalling Jiangnan
Author: Bai Juyi
Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me in the past; when the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?
When I recall the south of the Yangtze River, I remember Hangzhou the most; looking for osmanthus seeds in the moonlight in the mountain temple, watching the tide from the pillow in the county pavilion. When will we visit again!
I recall Jiangnan, and then I recall Wu Palace; a glass of Wu wine with spring bamboo leaves, Wu children dancing with drunken hibiscus. See you again sooner or later!
Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple
Author: Bai Juyi
The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. Everlasting regret has no place to return to in spring, and I don’t know where to turn.
