Hui Chong's Riverside Scenery Part I
(Song) Su Shi
There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo.
Spring river plumbing duck prophet.
Artemisia selengensis has short buds all over the ground,
It is the time when the puffer fish wants to fuck.
Translation:
There are two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest and ducks swimming in the water. They first noticed the warming of the river in early spring. The beach was covered with Artemisia selengensis and asparagus began to sprout. These are all good seasonings for cooking puffer fish, which is about to swim back into the river from the sea.
The puffer fish that will come back to swim can't be drawn by the painter. The poet used his imagination to show how real the unique atmosphere of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River is!
