From "Two Quatrains", it is a group of poems created by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This set of five-character quatrains is the poet's early work while wandering in the southwest. It was written in the late spring of the second year of Guangde (764), when Du Fu was in a Sichuan thatched cottage.

This is a set of poems about things. The first one uses natural and smooth language to describe the vibrant spring scenery. It has a fresh style and bright artistic conception, expressing the poet's happy mood of loving nature.

The original text is as follows:

Part 1

The rivers and mountains are beautiful in Chiri, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and grass.

Swallows fly when the mud melts, and mandarin ducks sleep in the warm sand.

Second

The blue birds in the river are more than white, and the blue flowers in the mountains are about to burn.

This spring has passed again and again, when will it be the return year?

The translation is as follows:

First

The mountains and rivers are bathed in the spring light, so beautiful, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Swallows are busy building nests with wet mud in their mouths, and pairs of mandarin ducks are sleeping on the warm sand.

Second

The vast blue waves of the river set off the snow-white feathers of the waterbirds, and the mountains are lush and green, with red flowers contrasting them, and they are about to burn.

This spring is about to pass. When is the date of my return home?

Extended information:

At the beginning of the first poem, the ink is drawn from a large area, describing the bright and beautiful spring scenery in the Huanhua River area under the bright sunshine in early spring. Simple and colorful.

"Chiri" refers to the spring day, which comes from the "Book of Songs·Binfeng·July" "Spring day is late". This is used to highlight the sunshine of early spring and to unify the whole article. At the same time, the word "Li" is used to embellish "Jiangshan", which expresses the beautiful scenery of spring sunshine, green fields and streams reflecting the sun. Although this is a rough outline, the bottom of the brush is full of spring scenery.

In the second sentence, the poet further uses the warm spring breeze, the first blooming flowers, the green grass, and the rich fragrance to show the bright spring scenery. Because the poet organically organizes the spring breeze, flowers and plants and the fragrance they emit, through association, you can feel the gentle breeze, flowers blooming, and the fragrance of flowers sent by the wind, and receive an immersive artistic effect.

On top of the bright and vast scenery, the third and fourth sentences turn to specific and vivid descriptions of early spring scenery.
