What can you think of when you see litchi?

When I saw litchi, I thought of Du Mu's "Riding a princess in the red dust and laughing, no one knew it was litchi".

This sentence comes from Du Mu's "Three Poems of Crossing the Qing Palace in China" in the Tang Dynasty: "Chang 'an looks back and embroiders in piles, and thousands of doors open at the top of the mountain. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south. Xinfeng green trees have yellow dust, and I have ridden Yuyang several times to explore the messenger. They lied about their military situation, and Tang Gaozong and Yang Guifei still indulged in singing and dancing until the Anshi Rebellion arose and the Central Plains was broken. The whole country is immersed in the tranquility of music, and the Lishan Palace in the moonlight is particularly clear. In the clouds, Lushan Mountain dances wildly, and the wind is too strong to laugh. "

Translation:

Looking back from Chang 'an, Mount Li looks like a pile of magnificent scenery. On the top of the mountain, thousands of doors of Huaqing Palace opened in turn. As soon as I rode, the smoke billowed and the princess smiled. No one knows that the south has sent litchi fresh fruit. Yellow dust can be seen from time to time in Xinfeng area surrounded by green trees. This is the return of spies to Yuyang.

They lied about their military situation, and Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei were still addicted to singing and dancing until the Anshi Rebellion and the Central Plains were broken. The whole country is immersed in a song and dance, and the palaces and castles on Mount Li are particularly distinct in the moonlight. An Lushan dragged her fat body and danced Hu Xuan, which caused Yang Guifei's laughter to fly over the mountain peaks in the wind.

Extended data

The first sentence describes the scenery of Mount Li where Huaqing Palace is located. The poet writes from the perspective of "looking back" in Chang 'an, just like a film photographer. First, he shows a broad and far-reaching panorama of Mount Li in front of the audience: lush trees, lush flowers and plants, palaces and castles stand among them, just like a beautiful group. "Embroidered Pile" not only refers to the East Embroidered Ridge and the West Embroidered Ridge on both sides of Mount Li, but also describes the beauty of Mount Li.

Then, the scene moved forward, showing the magnificent palace on the top of the mountain. The normally closed palace door suddenly opened slowly. Then there are two close-ups: outside the palace, an emissary is riding a horse, flying fast, raising clouds of red dust behind him; In the palace, the princess smiled.
