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.

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.

There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo. Looking across the sparse 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.

"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet" 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. 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 use the "warm" touch to supplement the visual impression of the spring water in the painting. 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.
