Distinguish and appreciate

This is a four-line poem describing the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Bai Juyi painted gorgeous pictures, but that's only macroscopic, while Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring" is relatively specific, which seems to make the outlook on life more profound. Du Mu not only depicts the beautiful spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but also reproduces the misty balcony scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, making the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River more magical and confusing. Charming Jiangnan, moved by the poet's brilliant pen, is even more exciting.
