Two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest and ducks in the water first noticed the warm spring.
The beach is covered with wormwood, asparagus is beginning to sprout, and puffer fish are preparing to swim upstream from the sea back to the river.
The geese fly north, like people who want to return to the north, but because of attachment, poor team.
Before flying to the north, I knew that it was snowy in the desert in the north, or the south that spent most of the Spring Festival in the south.
The translation is as follows:
There are two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest, and the ducks playing in the water first notice the warming of the river in early spring.
The beach is covered with Artemisia selengensis and reeds are sprouting short buds. At this time, the puffer fish will swim from the sea to the upper reaches of the river.
The geese flying from the north, like those who return to the north, are reluctant to go and are almost left behind.
Thousands of miles away, I already know that the desert in the north is snowy, so it is better to stay in the spring in the south of the Yangtze River for half a month.
Precautions are as follows:
Hui Chong (also known as Hui Chong): A native of Jianyang, Fujian, one of the nine monks in the early Song Dynasty, he can write poems and draw pictures. Night Scene by the River is the title of Hui Chong's paintings. There are two paintings, one is a duck play and the other is a flying goose. Qian Zhongshu's Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty is Xiaojing. Many annotations are useful for Xiaojing and Night Scene, and the complete works of Dongpo and the annotations before the Qing Dynasty are all useful.
Extended data:
The second sentence of the poem, "Duck Prophet of Spring River Plumbing", has a vision 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? Xu Xucao struggled out "(after the spring rain), Du Mu (Xu Hun)," Pugen water warms the geese at the beginning, and the plum-diameter fragrant cold bees are unknown "(boat trips 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.
