Extended information:

In the first poem, the poet first wrote it from his side: early spring, the earth revived, the bamboo forest has been dyed a light green by new leaves, and what is more striking is that three or two peach blossoms have blossomed on the peach tree, with bright colors, reporting the information of spring to people. Then, the poet's line of sight turned from the riverside to the middle of the river. The ducks that had been looking forward to the whole winter on the shore had already been unable to hold back and rushed to play in the water.

Then, the poet wrote from the middle of the river to the bank of the river, observing and describing the scene of early spring in more detail: thanks to the moisture of the spring water, the Artemisia selengensis has sprouted new branches all over the ground, and the reed buds have pointed out; All this shows the vitality of spring and makes people love it. The poet further thinks that this is the season when puffer fish is fat and beautiful, which makes people daydream more widely. The whole poem is permeated with a strong and fresh breath of life.

This inscribed poem not only retains the image beauty of the picture, but also gives full play to the strengths of the poem. The poet, with his rich flavor and mixed ink, showed the spring scenery depicted in the original painting so fascinating. While describing according to the picture, Su Shi has a new idea, which makes the beautiful image in the painting more poetic and attractive.
