The whole poem and two quatrains in its translation;
Jiangshan bathed in spring, how beautiful, flowers send flowers.
Swallows are busy nesting in wet mud and sleeping in pairs on the warm beach.
Vernacular:
The mountains and rivers are bathed in spring, so beautiful, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Swallows are busy building nests with wet mud in their mouths, and couples of mandarin ducks are sleeping on the warm beach.
In spring, the flowers bloom, the soil melts, the soil is wet, and the swallows that come from autumn to spring are busy flying around and building nests with the soil. This vivid description makes the picture more vibrant, full of the breath of spring, and has a dynamic beauty.
Du Fu's observation of swallows is very detailed, and "mud melting" is closely related to the first sentence, because spring returns to the earth and the sun shines brightly, which is "mud melting"; The new Yanzi made a nest out of the mud in his mouth and kept flying, showing a feeling of spring.
This five-character quatrain is bright and beautiful in artistic conception and fresh in style. The whole poem is neat, but natural and smooth, without carving; Describing the beautiful scenery without trace is a unique chapter in Du Fu's collection.
Brief introduction of du fu
Du fu (7 12 ~ 770), with beautiful words, tried to call himself "Shaoling night old". Take Jinshi as an example. He used to be a foreign minister in the school department, so he was called Du Gongbu internationally. He is the greatest realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as the "poet saint" after the Song Dynasty, and is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai.
His poems boldly exposed the social contradictions at that time and expressed deep sympathy for the poor people. Many excellent works show the historical process of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, which is called "the history of poetry".
