The Significance of Tao Yuanming's Four Seasons Poems

1. With the help of scenery, the poet praises nature, exaggerates the atmosphere, expresses personal feelings and exposes the darkness of society, which fully demonstrates the lyrical function of poetry and creates an artistic conception different from social unrest and ill-fated with natural and simple language.

2. Original text

four seasons; all the year round

Tao Jin Yuanming

The spring water is full of four rivers, and Xia Yun has many strange peaks.

The autumn moon shines on the ground, and the winter ridge is cold and loose.

3. Translation

In the middle of winter, spring water overflows, and the clouds in Shui Ze in summer are unpredictable, mostly like Qifeng, and the moon shines brightly in various ways. In the bright moonlight, all the scenery was covered with a layer of fuzzy color. In winter, a pine tree on the hill shows great vitality in the cold.
