"Surabaya" in the poem is a metaphor for Confucius, "seeking incense" is a metaphor for the sage's way, "Dongfeng" is a metaphor for enlightenment, and "Spring" is a metaphor for benevolence advocated by Confucius. "Colorful" is a metaphor for the richness of Confucianism. The poet compares the sage's way to the spring breeze that pushes the machine and ignites everything. If these meanings are written in philosophical lecture-style language, it will inevitably be boring. This poem, however, melts philosophy into vivid images, leaving no trace of reasoning.
Zhu, author of "Spring Day, Chao Song"
Beautiful spring outing in Surabaya, the endless scenery is new.
Everyone can see the face of spring, the spring breeze blows flowers open, thousands of purple, and the scene of spring is everywhere.
