Two Evening Scenes on the Spring River by Hui Chong

Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo are a prophet of the warmth of the spring river.

Two or three peach blossoms are blooming outside the bamboo forest. Ducks are playing in the water. They are the first to notice the warming of the river in early spring.

Appreciation?

These two poems were inscribed by Su Shi on Hui Chong's painting "Spring River Dawn". Hui Chong's original painting has been lost, and some versions of this poem were titled "Spring River Dawn Scene", which is now impossible to verify. Paintings use vivid images to give people a specific visual experience, but they can only express a specific picture and have certain limitations.

Although a good poem has no visible images, it can use figurative language to attract readers into a beautiful artistic conception formed by the poet's unique conception to make up for the inability to express certain pictures. thing.
