What do you mean, a butterfly that devours all love flies to mountains and rivers, just like those in the past?

Flowers are blooming in the field path, butterflies are flying among the flowers, the mountains and rivers have not changed, and the former owners have already changed.

From Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, the seven-character quatrain "Three Flowers on a Stranger".

A butterfly that devours everything flies,

Jiangshan is still a past tense.

Believers have died several times,

Long song, a tourist girl, returns slowly.

Man is not as good as nature: when the author wrote this poem, it was already three years of peace and rejuvenating the country, and it has been nearly a hundred years now. Believer: a person who has perished; Sagging: Gradually.

Flowers are in full bloom on the path in the field, butterflies are flying among the flowers, the mountains and rivers have not changed, and the past owners have long changed. A few years have passed in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the adherents of wuyue are old, the women who traveled far away are still singing and returning slowly.

Extended data

Three Stories of Flowers on a Stranger was written in the sixth year of Xining, Song Shenzong (A.D. 1073). At this time, the author made a short stay in Lin 'an on business. When visiting Jiuxian Mountain, he heard the local children's song "Flowers on the Stranger", which was tactfully moving and sad. But its lyrics are vulgar and shallow, so it was replaced by this poem. Although the theme of the poem is the anecdote "Princess wuyue must return to Lin 'an every year", it expresses the ups and downs of the wuyue dynasty in a tortuous way, with nostalgia and historical nature.
