Bai Juyi's early winter

The original text and translation of Bai Juyi's Early Winter are as follows:

1, Bai Juyi's Early Winter:

In October, the south of the Yangtze River is sunny and cold as spring flowers. Frost doesn't kill grass, but desert sand dries at first. Old zhe leaves are as yellow as tender trees, and cold cherry branches are as white as wild flowers. At this time, I envy idle people drunk, and there is no reason for five horses to enter the restaurant.

2. Early Winter translated by Bai Juyi:

The weather in Jiangnan is sunny in October, and the scenery in winter is as lovely as that in spring. Frost didn't freeze the grass to death, but the sun dried the earth. Although the leaves of the old Zheshu tree are yellow, they are still like new ones. At this time, I only envy the drinker's leisure and walk into the restaurant unconsciously.

Extended data:

According to the chronicle, in the autumn of 825 AD, the poet visited Taihu Lake and wrote a new poem "Early Autumn on the Pool". The mood at this time is cheerful and leisurely, especially suitable for the presentation of the poem "Early Winter". In the second year in Suzhou, the poet fell off his horse and hurt his foot, suffered from eye disease and lung injury, and was dismissed from office because there was almost nothing good, so he had no emotional basis for writing this poem.

So the only possibility is that in the early winter of 825 AD, a 54-year-old poet wrote this song "Early Winter". When the poet was an official in Suzhou, he ushered in his new life after his twilight years. Compared with Bai Xingjian's younger brother who died at the age of 5/kloc-0, Bai Juyi was full of gratitude and love in the face of the changes of nature at this time.

He loves his wandering life and once thought about dying of old age in Jiangnan. Of course, he was promoted to live a luxurious life, which the poet did not expect and would not think of at this time. Bai Juyi, who is now content to be the secretariat of Suzhou, can feel the poet's love for the city at this time from the words he wrote in Memory of Jiangnan.

How could you not like it? "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good", "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". In the poet's eyes, the winter in the south of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jiangnan is as pleasing to the eye as the spring when the sun rises and the flowers in the river win the fire.

Because I love a city, I love its spring, summer, autumn and winter. What's winter like in southern Suzhou? Still use the old trick, a word "good", to outline the outline. Echoing his "Remembering Jiangnan" from a distance.
