quatrains
Du Fu
Two orioles singing green willows,
A line of egrets flying into the sky.
In front of the window, there is a thousand autumn snows in Xiling,
The Dongwu Wan Li boat is moored at the gate.
Story "Poetry with Vegetables"
A chef is proficient in poetry. Every time he cooks a dish, he can recite a beautiful poem. A scholar deliberately gave the chef two eggs and asked him to cook several dishes, and each dish should express an ancient poem. The chef readily accepted and cooked four courses. The first course is two pure egg yolks and a few shredded vegetables; The second course is to cut the cooked eggs into small pieces, arrange them in a line, and lay a green leaf under them; Stir-fried a pinch of protein in the third dish; The fourth course is a bowl of clear soup with four eggshells floating on it. I was deeply impressed by the scholar's meeting.
The poem of these four dishes is Du Fu's quatrains.
Two orioles sing green willows,
A line of egrets rises to the sky,
The window contains the autumn snow in Xiling,
The Dongwu Wan Li boat is moored at the gate.
