Translation:
1. There are two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest, and the ducks swimming in the water first notice the warming of the river in early spring.

2, puffer fish: a kind of fish, the scientific name is "fish", the meat is delicious, but the ovary and liver are highly toxic. Produced in coastal areas and some inland rivers of China. Go against the current every spring and lay eggs in fresh water. Up: refers to going upstream.

Appreciate:
1. This poem entitled "Duck Drama" reproduces the mid-spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River in the original painting, integrates the poet's reasonable imagination, and complements the original painting.
2. "There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo". Looking through the scattered bamboo, several peach blossoms are swaying. Peach blossoms and bamboo are in contrast, red and green, and spring is particularly charming. Although this is just a simple sentence, it reveals a lot of information. First of all, the bamboo forest is sparse. If it's sunny, you won't see peach blossoms. Secondly, show the season and point out the word "early". Just after the cold spring, it is not the time for peach blossoms to bloom, but the infinite vitality and potential of spring have been revealed.
3, "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", the field of vision is from far to near, that is, from the river bank to the river surface. Spring water is rippling on the river, and active ducks are playing on the river. The silhouette of "Duck Prophet" shows that the spring water is still slightly chilly, so other animals are not sensitive to the arrival of spring, which echoes the peach blossom "three or two branches" in the first sentence and indicates the early spring season. This poetic sentence uses a Tang poem: Meng Jiao "What is the most prophetic?" The grass is empty, the grass is empty ",Du Mu (Xu Hun's works)," Pugen is warming geese at the beginning, and the plum-diameter fragrant cold bee is unknown "(boat trip in early spring). Su Shi, who is ignorant of the past, combined the intention of his predecessors' poems with his own observation and refined this quip. "A duck knows how to warm water", which appeals to emotion and imagination, is difficult to convey in the picture, but the poet expresses this point in his poems by putting himself in others' shoes. Ducks swimming freely in the river are the first to feel the temperature rise of the spring water, and the tactile impression of "warmth" complements the visual impression of the spring water in the picture. Ducks can "predict the heating of springs" because they live in water all the year round. As long as the river doesn't freeze, they always jump into the water to play. Therefore, it is these ducks, which are closely related to water, who are the first to know the water temperature changes in the Chunjiang River. This shows that you have to go through everything to have a true feeling. This poem not only reflects the poet's careful observation of nature, but also reflects the poet's philosophical thinking about life. Ducks know that the spring river is warm when they enter the water, which can be compared with "a leaf falls, and the world is autumn". It is reasonable to know each other.
4. "Artemisia selengensis." These two poems are still closely related to Early Spring. Artemisia selengensis The short reed buds, green and yellow, are gorgeous and charming, showing a scene of spring and prosperity. The puffer fish wants to go up, which makes use of the characteristic that puffer fish only go upstream when the spring river warms up, and further highlights the word "spring". This is something that is not in the picture, and it is difficult to reach with a brush, but the poet successfully "looks like the present" and injects the breath and vitality of spring into the whole picture. Zhang Lei, a student of Su Shi, also recorded in Ming Dow magazine that the Yangtze natives eat puffer fish, but they cook it with Artemisia selengensis and bamboo shoots, that is, reed bracts and shepherd's purse, which they think are the best match with puffer fish. This shows that Su Shi's association is well-founded and natural. This is also the beauty of poetry.
5. Although the painting "It's time for the puffer fish to come up" does not describe the action of the puffer fish, the poet knows that "the puffer fish is coming up" from the crazy growth of Artemisia selengensis and the germination of reeds, thus drawing the image of dolphins going up the river when the spring river blooms, so as to make up for the deficiency. It is through this kind of pen and ink that Su Shi transformed the silent and still picture into a lively poetic scene. In Su Shi's eyes, this painting is no longer a plane static picture on paper in the frame, but gives people a profound experience and subtle observation of ecology. The former is picturesque and the latter is realistic, and the two are confused. I don't know which is the picturesque scene and which is the real scene. The poet's artistic association broadens the world beyond the field of vision expressed by painting, and makes poetry and painting combine perfectly.
6. This poem successfully depicts the spring scenery in early spring. With meticulous and keen feelings, Su Shi captured the characteristics of the scenery when the seasons changed and expressed his joy and praise for the early spring. The whole poem is full of the breath and vitality of spring, giving people a fresh and comfortable feeling. Su Shi, a poet, put forward "Poetry and painting are of the same origin, striving for perfection, fresh and refined" (two branches of paintings in the main book of Yanling King in Shu) and "There are paintings in poems and poems in paintings" (Volume 5 of Dongpo's Inscription and Postscript, Clouds and Rain in Lantian, Ma Shu), which was well verified in his poem Night Scene by the Hui Chong River.
