Creative background:

In his later years, the poet was rejected and attacked by the Harmony School, and his ambition was hard to pay, so he lived in seclusion in the countryside around Shangrao. In a village far from the front line of the war, in the quiet early spring of February, the grass grows long and the willows brush the bank, and the poet infected by the pastoral atmosphere happily wrote this poem.

Appreciate:

This little poem describing the scenery in spring is an impromptu work of the poet when he lived in the countryside.

"The grass grows in February and the warbler flies" is about time and natural scenery. It vividly depicts the nature in spring and writes the beautiful and charming scenery unique to the countryside in spring. In early spring and February, the grass grows green buds, and orioles fly in the sky and sing happily. The long branches of willows beside the embankment brushed the ground gently, as if drunk and trembling in the spring smoke. The word "grass grows and warblers fly" vividly describes the scenery of spring, making readers feel the atmosphere of recovery and prosperity, and the pulse of spring seems to surge in front of them.

"Brushing Willow Drunk with Spring Smoke" describes the willow on the yuan leaf in the village, personifying the static willow. The branches are soft and slender, sweeping gently across the bank. In spring, the earth is warm and the willows sway from side to side in the breeze. The poet used a word "drunk" to describe the charming posture of willow; Write the softness of willow; Write the charm of willow. This is a typical picture of spring scenery.

"The children came back early from school and were busy flying kites in the east wind." They mainly wrote about people's activities. Described the vivid scene of a group of lively children flying kites in beautiful spring. The children left school early and flew kites in the east wind. The child is in the early spring of life. The children's laughter and the cheerful sound of flying kites make spring more vibrant and energetic. The children, east wind, kites, people and things chosen by the poet add some vitality and hope to the beautiful spring scenery. The last two sentences were written with the first two sentences, which vividly rendered the charm of early spring.

Since spring is so moving, it is especially true for people who live in this picturesque spring. In the last two sentences of the poem, from the scenery to the characters, the poet wrote a scene of a child flying a kite with great emotion. The weather is so good that even primary school students who love to play outside are uncharacteristically. They go home early after school and fly kites quickly. The word "early" used in "coming back from school" shows that even children are moved by this sunny climate.

The first half of the poem is about scenery, and the second half is about people. The first half is basically static and the second half is dynamic. The state of things and personnel set off each other, and the movements complement each other, so that the whole poem is perfectly and harmoniously unified under the theme of "spring" scenery seen in the village.
