What kind of philosophy does Su Shi's Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet contain?

Su Shi's poem "The Prophet of Plumbing Duck on the Spring River" contains a kind of sensitive insight and foresight on the changes and opportunities of things, which can also be understood as the importance of cherishing and grasping opportunities in daily life.

Literally, this poem depicts the warming of the river in spring, and ducks, as animals living in rivers and lakes, can keenly perceive the change of water temperature. After the water temperature warms, they will migrate ahead of time or make corresponding behavior changes, which makes people sigh the cleverness and foresight of ducks.

But the philosophy contained in this poem is not limited to the behavior of ducks, but expresses people's due vigilance and insight at a deeper level. In real life, like ducks, we should also pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, keenly perceive the upcoming opportunities and seize them in time.

original text

Two Su Shi's Late Scenes of Hui Chong Riverside [Song]

Two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest and ducks in the water first noticed the warm spring.

The beach is covered with wormwood, asparagus is beginning to sprout, and puffer fish are preparing to swim upstream from the sea back to the river.

The geese fly north, like people who want to return to the north, but because of attachment, poor team.

Before flying to the north, I knew that it was snowy in the desert in the north, or the south that spent most of the Spring Festival in the south.

There are two or three peach blossoms outside the bamboo forest, and the ducks playing in the water first notice the warming of the river in early spring.

The beach is covered with Artemisia selengensis and reeds are sprouting short buds. At this time, the puffer fish will swim from the sea to the upper reaches of the river.

The geese flying from the north, like those who return to the north, are reluctant to go and are almost left behind.

Thousands of miles away, I already know that the desert in the north is snowy, so it is better to stay in the spring in the south of the Yangtze River for half a month.

Make an appreciative comment

This painting poem deliberately depicts a scene of early spring.

The poet first wrote from the side: In the early spring, the earth revived, and the bamboo forest has been dyed green by new leaves. What is more striking is that three or two peach blossoms have blossomed early on the peach tree, which are brightly colored and report the information of spring to people. Then, the poet's line of sight turned from the river to the middle of the river. Ducks that have been looking forward to the whole winter on the shore have already been unable to hold back and rushed to play in the water.

Then, the poet wrote from the middle of the river to the bank, observing and describing the scene of early spring in more detail: because of the moisture of the spring water, the Artemisia on the ground grew new branches and the reed buds spit out; All this shows the vitality of spring and makes people fondle it. The poet went on to think that this is the season for puffer fish to go on the market, which makes people daydream more widely ... The whole poem is full of strong and fresh life breath.
