"Spring River Warm Ducks Know First" is from the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's "Huichong <Spring River Evening Scene>" (also known as "Huichong Spring River Dawn Scene"), the full number of the original text:

One of them

Three or two peach blossom trees outside of the bamboo, the ducks in the Spring River Warm Ducks Know First.

The artemisia vulgaris is full of reed buds and is short, just when the river dolphin wants to go up.

The second

Two or two of them want to break the flock, and they still look like people returning to the north.

It is known that there are many winds and snowfalls in the desert, so I'm waiting for half a month's spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

Translation of the whole poem:

Translation 1

Beyond the bamboo forest, two or three branches of peach blossoms are blossoming, and ducks are playing in the water; they are the first to notice the warmth of the river in early spring. The river bank is already full of Artemisia vulgaris, and the asparagus is beginning to bud, while the river dolphin is just about to swim upstream from the sea back into the river.

Translation 2

Beyond the bamboo forest, three or two branches of peach blossoms have quietly opened, and the first to notice the ambiguity of the spring river must be the ducks. The artemisia vulgaris is all over the place, and the Hsienkiang bamboo shoots have begun to bud. At this time, the dolphins are also swimming back to the river against the current.
