2. Translation

Two or three peach blossoms are blooming outside the bamboo forest. Ducks are playing in the water. They are the first to notice the warming of the river in early spring. The river beach is already covered with wormwood, asparagus has begun to sprout, and the pufferfish are about to swim upstream from the sea to the river.

3. Appreciation

The painting uses a distinctive image to give people a specific visual experience, but it can only express a specific picture and has certain limitations. Although a good poem has no visible images, it can use figurative language to attract readers into a beautiful artistic conception formed through the poet's unique conception, so as to make up for some things that cannot be expressed in pictures.

This poem on painting not only retains the image beauty of the picture, but also plays to the strengths of the poem. The poet used his flavorful, realistic and realistic pen and ink to show the spring scenery described in the original painting so fascinatingly. While describing based on the picture, Su Shi also came up with new ideas, which made the beautiful images in the painting more poetic and fascinating.
