Go to the lake for a spring outing

Xu Fu (Song)

A pair of swallows, when did you fly back? Peach branches on both sides of the river are soaked in water, and red peach blossoms are in bloom.

When the spring rain breaks, people can't cross the bridge, but the boat supports Liu Yin.

Translation:

Swallows flying in pairs, when did you come back? The branches of peach trees on the shore bent down and touched the water, and the peach blossoms seemed to be immersed in the water. The spring rose and did not cross the bridge deck. Just when the tourists couldn't pass, a boat slowly pulled out from the depths of the shade.

Xu Fu, a Jiangxi poet, was born in xiushui county, Jiangxi, and was the nephew of Huang Tingjian. Although Xu Fu is not well-known in history, his beautiful poem, with only seven words at the end, has amazed the world for thousands of years. Youchun Lake is a seven-character quatrain written by Xu Fu, a poet in the Song Dynasty. So once this poem was created, it spread and was praised by people at that time.

Enjoy a spring tour of the lake;

Poetry is borrowed from Yan, and peach blossoms are in full bloom. It depicts the lakes and mountains in spring, and highlights the rising characteristics of the lake by crossing the boat with a broken bridge in spring rain. The poem cuts the scenery with interest and arranges the composition according to the psychology of seeking spring and the whereabouts of swimming in the lake. The whole poem is fresh and vivid, full of charm, describing the beautiful scenery the poet saw when he visited the lake in early spring, and at the same time vividly expressing his inner joy, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

It can be said that the whole poem is not only beautiful in picture, true in content, but also rich in emotion and strong in appeal, which makes readers feel as if they have experienced an "early spring outing to the lake" described by the poet. In addition, poetry also fully embodies China's aesthetic view of classical poetry: the description of scenery should be colorful and elegant. If there is no "broken bridge" in this poem, if spring is beautiful, it will be less interesting.
