1. Spring Tour of Qiantang Lake in the Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
To the north of Gushan Temple and to the 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, so only Asakusa has no horse hooves.
My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, with its green poplar shade and white sand embankment.
Translation: Go around the north of Gushan Temple and stroll west of Jiagong Pavilion. The lake water has just risen and is level with the shore. The white clouds are hanging very low. A few early orioles are vying to perch in the warm trees facing the sun, and the newly arrived swallows are busy building nests and carrying mud. The wildflowers are dazzling when they are blooming, and the spring grass has just barely covered the horses' hooves before it grows tall. My favorite scenery on the east side of the lake is unforgettable, with rows of willows crossing a white sand embankment.
2. Grass / Farewell to the Tang Dynasty with the ancient grass: Bai Juyi
The grass grows in the original grass, and the grass dries up every year.
The wildfire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows it again.
The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city.
I sent the king and grandson off again, and the love was full of farewell.
Translation: The long grass on the plain is so lush, and every autumn and winter turn yellow and the grass becomes thicker in spring. The grass on the long plains is so lush. Every autumn and winter, the grass turns yellow and becomes thicker in spring. Wild grasses and wild flowers are spreading and submerging the ancient road. Under the bright sun, the end of the grassland is your journey. I once again bid farewell to a close friend, and the lush green grass represents my deep affection.

Translation: In April in the human world, all the flowers have withered, but the peach blossoms in the ancient temples on the mountains have just begun to bloom. I often feel sad that spring has passed away and I can't find it anywhere, but I don't know that it has moved here.
4. Tang Dynasty on Chishang: Bai Juyi
The little boy held a small boat and secretly collected white lotus.
If you don’t hide the traces, the duckweeds will bloom together.
Translation: A child held a boat and secretly picked white lotus flowers. He didn't know how to hide his traces, but there was a trace of a boat on the duckweed on the water.
5. Cold Food Ambition Song of the Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
Crows and magpies make noise in the dark trees. Who will cry during the Cold Food Festival during the Qingming Festival?
The wind blows paper money flying in the wilderness, and the spring grass is green on the ancient tombs.
Tangli flowers reflect the poplar trees, which is the place where life and death part.
There is a heavy spring that cannot be heard, and people go back in the rain.
Translation: The crow of the black magpie makes a noisy sound. Under the dark tall trees, which family is crying on the Qingming and Cold Food Festival? The wind blows the paper money in the open field, and the paper money flies. The old graves are piled on top of each other, and they are already covered with green grass. Begonia flowers and pear blossoms shade the poplar trees. This is the place where life and death part. The dead cannot hear our cries in the dim underworld, and those who came to pay homage went back amidst the sound of rain in the evening.

Poem appreciation
1. Spring trip to Qiantang Lake
This poem is like a short and concise travel note , starting from Gushan and Jiating, ending at Hudong and Baidi, along the way, in the beautiful paradise-like scenery of green lakes and green mountains, the poet enjoyed the singing and dancing of orioles and was intoxicated by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Finally, he walked along the white sand beach with unfinished content. Di, under the green shade of willows, I turned back three times at a step and left reluctantly. The hymn of spring played by all things in the world is still echoing in my ears, and a beautiful poem full of the joy of natural integration flows out of my heart involuntarily.
Predecessors said that "Lotte's poems are full of emotions, enter the human liver and spleen, follow the shape of things, and fill the place" (Wang Ruoxu's "Hunan Poetry"), and they also said that "Lotte's poems are extremely profound and lovely. They often use the things in front of them as insights, which others have not said." (Tian Wen's "Gu Huantang Ji").
The language of this poem is simple, fresh and natural. It uses line drawing to write carefully selected shots into the poem. The image is vivid and the scene embodies the emotion. From the vibrant early spring lake light, it reflects the author's joyful mood when visiting the lake. It is It deserves the above comments.
2. Grass/Fude Gu Yuan Cao Farewell
The author did not write about Gu Yuan for the purpose of writing about "Gu Yuan", but at the same time arranged a typical farewell environment: the spring returns to the earth and the fragrant grass is flourishing. The ancient plain scene is so charming, and the farewell takes place on such a background, how melancholy it is, and how poetic it is at the same time. The word "Wang Sun" is borrowed from Chu Ci to form a sentence, which generally refers to travelers. "The kings and grandsons have never returned from their travels, and the spring grass grows luxuriantly." It refers to people who see the luxuriant grass and miss people who have not returned from their travels.
But here the meaning is changed and used. It writes about seeing the luxuriant grass and adding to the sadness of farewell. It seems that every blade of grass is full of farewell. It is really: "Departure and hatred are just like spring grass. Travel further and you will live again" (Li Yu's "Qing Ping Le"). What a meaningful ending! At this point in the poem, the "farewell" is pointed out, the meaning of the title is clarified, and the whole article is connected. "Original", "grass", and "farewell" are integrated into one, and the artistic conception is extremely harmonious.
The language of the whole poem is natural, smooth and neat. Although it is a propositional poem, it can be integrated with deep feelings of life. Therefore, every word contains true feelings and the language has an aftertaste. It is not only appropriate, but also unique, so it can It is called the swan song in "Fu Dede".
3. Dalin Temple Peach Blossom
The poem only has four short sentences. There seems to be nothing profound or surprising in terms of content and language. The scenery and seasons are "deep, the season is extremely late" and "different from the settlements on the plains", and some records and descriptions are made. But if you read it carefully, you will find that this simple and natural poem is written with profound artistic conception and full of interest.
The two lines at the beginning of the poem, "The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples are beginning to bloom." It is written that the poet was already in Mengxia when he climbed the mountain, and it was the time when the spring returned to the earth and the beauty was gone. But unexpectedly, in the ancient temple on the mountain, I encountered an unexpected spring scene - a peach blossom in full bloom. From the following sentence "Eternally regretting the return of spring without finding a place", we can know that before the poet arrived, he had resented the rush of spring and was angry and disappointed. So when this unexpected spring scenery bursts into view, it should make people feel so surprised and happy.
The first sentence of the poem, "The fragrance ends", and the second sentence, "Beginning to bloom", echo each other in contrast. They are literally chronicles and descriptions of scenes, but in fact they are also descriptions of jumps in emotions and thoughts - from a melancholy feeling of lamenting death, to surprise, joy, and even elation. Moreover, at the beginning of the first sentence, the poet intentionally uses the word "human world", which means that this adventure and this scenic scene bring a special feeling to the poet, that is, as if he suddenly stepped into a world from the real world of the human world. What a fairyland, in another world other than the human world.
It was triggered by this feeling that the poet's imagination took flight. "I have always hated that spring has nowhere to go, and I don't know where to turn." The poet thought that he once cherished and loved spring, and even resented the ruthlessness of spring's departure. However, who knew that he had mistakenly blamed spring, and it turned out that spring had not returned. , just like a child playing hide-and-seek with others, secretly hiding in this place.
