The whole poem is as follows:
A piece of spring worries about wine. The boat on the river rocked and the curtain moved upstairs. Qiuniangdu and Tainiangqiao, the wind is fluttering and the rain is whispering.
When will you go home and wash your robe? The silver word is the tone, and the heart word is the fragrance. The streamer easily dumped people, turning cherries into red and plantains into green.
Translation:
The boat is swaying on the Wujiang River, and I am full of spring worries. Seeing the wine curtain swaying on the shore to attract guests, I have the desire to drown my sorrows. The boat crossing the beautiful Qiuniangdu and Tainiangqiao makes the literati daydream and have no intention to appreciate it. The wind is blowing and it's raining. It's really annoying.
When can I go home to wash my guest robes and end my tired life? When can I reunite with my family, fiddle with the silver-lettered sheng and light the heart-shaped incense in the lavender room? Spring is easy to pass away and people can't catch up. Cherry is red, ripe, banana is green again, spring goes and summer comes.
Appreciation of Cherry Red, Banana Green:
The old formula is abandoned in the sentence, and the anthropomorphic and visualized sentence "Time can easily throw people away" is adopted, which highlights the rapid passage of time. In particular, the author creatively uses the color changes of cherries and bananas to show the galloping of time more concretely. Although Li Yu once revealed the seasonal changes from spring to summer with the phrase "All the cherries have fallen, and spring is back", Jie Jiang did it from different angles.
Grasping the characteristics that cherry turns red in early summer and banana leaves turn from light green to dark green, it is a visual supplement to "time is perishable". Turn the invisible time into an elusive image. Here, "red" and "green" are both causative verbs, and a word "le" is added to indicate the dynamic change of color.
Of course, the author is not only writing about the scenery here, but also expressing his feelings and lamenting the passage of time. This sigh of "Spring has gone to summer in a blink of an eye" includes his sigh for long-lost guests, his urgency for homesickness, and his perception of life as time goes by.
