Perhaps the owner of the garden was worried that my clogs would trample on his cherished moss, and knocked gently on the wooden door, but no one came to open it for a long time.

But after all, this garden full of spring colors can't be shut out; look, there's a branch of pink apricot blossoms sticking out of the wall.

The original text of No Value for a Visit to the Garden

We should pity the clogs that print the moss, and we should not open the wood door for a long time.

It is impossible to close the garden in spring, a branch of red apricots comes out of the wall.

This seven-word poem describes the author's failure to visit the garden and the moving scene of red apricots coming out of the wall. It not only shows that spring has a vitality that cannot be suppressed, but also reveals the author's love for spring.

The poem describes the idyllic scenery of the quiet, comfortable and cozy. This poem also tells us a truth: all beautiful, full of life and fresh things must develop according to the objective law, and no external force can stop it.

Background of the poem

It was February in the south of the Yangtze River, when the clouds were light and the sun shone brightly. The poet came to the door of a small garden to have a look at the flowers and trees in the garden. He knocked gently on the wooden door a few times, but there was no response; he knocked a few more times, but still no one answered.

The poet guessed that it was probably because he was afraid that the moss in the garden would be trampled on, so he closed the door to visitors. The poet searched and wandered outside the garden, bummed out. When he had nothing to do and was about to leave, he looked up and suddenly saw a branch of red apricot blossoms in full bloom peeking out from the wall.
