The world in April is full of beauty,
Peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.
I hate that spring is nowhere to be found,
I don't know how it got like this.

Foreword:
This seven-line poem is a travel note, written in Jiangzhou in the early summer of the 12th year of Yuanhe (AD 8 17). The poem means that the poet came to Dalin Temple in early summer, and it is time for spring to return to the earth in April at the foot of the mountain, and it is time for Fang Fei to run out. But unexpectedly, he met an unexpected spring scene-peach blossoms in full bloom in an ancient alpine temple.

Appreciate:
At the beginning of the poem, the words "the world is full of wheatgrass in April, and the mountain temple is full of peach blossoms" mean that when the poet climbs the mountain, he is already in Xia Meng, and it is time for the earth to spring back and the wheatgrass to fall. But unexpectedly, in the ancient temple in the mountains, I met an unexpected spring scene-a peach blossom that began to bloom. From the following sentence "I often hate that spring is nowhere to be found", we can know that the poet was resentful, angry and disappointed at the hasty absence of spring before boarding the ship. Therefore, when this unexpected spring scene comes into view, how amazing and joyful it is! The first sentence of this poem, "Fang Fei is exhausted" and the second sentence, "It begins to bloom", complement each other.
Literally, it is a chronicle of scenery, in fact, it is also a leap of feelings and thoughts-from melancholy sigh of death to surprise, joy and even be elated. Moreover, at the beginning of the first sentence, the poet deliberately used the word "person", which means that this adventure and this scenic spot have brought a special feeling to the poet, that is, it seems that he suddenly stepped into a fairyland from the real world of human beings and was in another non-human world.
It is under the trigger of this feeling that the wings of the poet's imagination soar. "I always hate that spring is nowhere to be found and I don't know where to go." It suddenly occurred to him that he once hated the ruthlessness of spring because he cherished it and fell in love with it, but he was wrong. It turned out that spring didn't come back. He just sneaked into this place like a child playing hide-and-seek with others.
The first two sentences of this poem are about seeing peach blossoms in the mountain temple in late April, and the last two sentences express the poet's joy in welcoming spring in the mountain temple. Reveals the poet's love for tranquility, harmony, freshness and nature.
Dalin Temple is located in a high terrain with a cold climate. Generally, peach blossoms bloom in February in early spring and wither in April, but they don't bloom until April here. How interesting it is for the poet to say "Spring is nowhere to be found" and "Come here"! Where are the steps of spring? How can I transfer? This is the poet's rich imagination and the natural expression of his surprise and joy.

Brief comments:
This poem describes the scenery in spring vividly, concretely, naively and vividly. It is novel, ingenious, profound, interesting, inspiring and pleasing to the eye, and it is another treasure in the quatrains of the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem is only four sentences, and it seems that there is nothing profound or surprising in terms of content and language. It is only a description of the scenery season and climate, which is "the mountains are deep and the four seasons are not late" and "different from the flat settlements". But if you read it carefully, you will find that this simple and natural poem is far-reaching and interesting.
In this poem, peach blossoms are used instead of abstract spring scenery to make spring scenery concrete and beautiful; Moreover, it personifies the spring scenery and writes it as if it really has feet, so you can hide it around. No, just feet. You see, it simply has a naughty and provocative character! In this short poem, the spring scenery in nature is so vivid and concrete, innocent and lovely, and it can't be written without infinite nostalgia and love for spring and the poet's childlike innocence. The beauty of this poem lies in its novel conception, ingenious conception, elegant and interesting playful language, inspiring and pleasing to the eye. It can be described as another treasure in the quatrains of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the poet's rich imagination and the natural expression of his surprise and joy.
At the beginning of the poem, there are two sentences: "Flowers bloom in April on earth, and peach blossoms bloom in mountain temples". It is written that the poet went home in the spring outside the mountain, but he met unexpected spring scenery in the mountain. This sharp contrast in nature makes the poet have a complex feeling of "long-term hatred of returning to spring and nowhere to find it, and I don't know how to turn it into it". Literally, before climbing the mountain, the poet was resentful or disappointed at the passing of spring scenery, and when a piece of spring scenery came into view, he would feel some heartfelt surprise and helpless relief. Perhaps this emotion, on the surface, is caused by the change of natural scenery, but in fact it reflects his sad and melancholy feelings in a tortuous way.
When the poet wrote this poem, it was in Jiangzhou Sima's office. Bai Juyi, who was born as a scholar during the Tang Zhenyuan period, was awarded the post of secretary of the provincial school, and later went to collect the remains, which is a spring breeze. Although he knew that during his years in Beijing Palace, he offended powerful people because of his outspoken suggestions, which were rejected by the court and demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. Bai Juyi, as Jiangzhou Sima, once faced the vicissitudes of pipa girls in Pipa Travel. This feeling of vicissitudes may naturally blend into the artistic conception of this little poem, which gives the poem Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple a metaphorical color of vicissitudes.
This is the feeling that the poet used "people" instead of "outside the mountain" in April. This wording makes people realize its profound meaning. The word "human" is not only used in the neat confrontation of "mountain temple", but perhaps "mountain temple" is a fairyland for poets to forget their troubles and comfort their hearts. The long-standing hatred of the end of the world for "human beings" may be freed in the fairyland where peach blossoms are in full bloom; The way to get rid of the joys and sorrows of life may come to you in the beauty and tranquility away from the noise.
