Yang Wanli (Song)

The fence is sparse, a path leads to the distance, and the petals on the tree fall, but the shade has not yet formed.

The child ran quickly to catch the yellow butterfly, but the butterfly suddenly flew into the vegetable garden and could not be found again.

Translation:

Next to the sparse fence, there is a path that extends into the distance. The flowers on the roadside trees have withered, but the new leaves have just grown and have not formed a shade. A child ran after a yellow butterfly, but it couldn't be found after it flew into the cauliflower.

Two Poems of Xugongdian New Town are a group of poems by Yang Wanli, a poet in Song Dynasty, which mainly describe rural pastoral scenery.

The first poem expresses the author's leisure in a foreign land, and describes the spring scenery and wicker in restaurants, as well as the customs and customs of singing and dancing in Tomb-Sweeping Day Village. In the second poem, images such as hedgerows, cauliflower, children and yellow butterflies are selected and described in detail to show the poet's sensitivity to pastoral feelings. The whole poem is fresh in language, vivid in image and full of fun.

This group of poems is regarded as the third year of Song Guangzong Shao Xi (1 192). At that time, Yang Wanli was appointed as the deputy ambassador of Jiangdong transshipment, based in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).

The "new town" in the poem was a town at that time, located in the northeast of Deqing, Zhejiang, between Lin 'an (Hangzhou, Zhejiang) and Jiankang. Surrounded by land and water, it is the only place for the author to leave Lin 'an for Jiankang or return to Lin 'an from Jiankang to report his work. The author passed by here, stopped for a short time, saw the scenery and felt it, so he wrote this group of poems.
