Bai Juyi's Translation of Early Winter

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.

There is a faint frost on the grass, which looks like dry sand in the sun.

Appreciation of Bai Juyi's Early Winter

Early Winter is a seven-meter poem by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The first couplet always writes about the feeling of early winter in Jiangnan-Jiangnan in early winter, the weather is sunny and warm, as beautiful as March in spring. A word "good" is the author's overall evaluation of Jiangnan in October, which seems to be emotionless and full of affection. Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, also used the word "good" when praising the beauty of the West Lake. Simple words often convey unspeakable beauty best. The next sentence "Poor winter scenery is like spring flowers" is an interpretation of the word "good". "Cherish" means "lovely", which means that the scenery in winter is gentle, not cold, but full of vitality and vigor.

The two couplets in the middle focus on the scenery, which is a concrete portrayal of "winter is like spring flowers". "first frost is light but doesn't kill grass" means that the early winter in the south of the Yangtze River has a "cold" component, but it is more gentle. A thin layer of frost covered the grass, but it didn't freeze it. "Lush" means lush vegetation. There is nothing wrong with describing the scenery in early winter in Jiangnan here. Just like Du Mu wrote, "There is water in the green hills, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn." The phrase "the first day is warm and the desert sand is dry" also emphasizes the warmth of winter, which means that the sun shines in winter and the vast sand is dry.

The neckline captures two typical colors "yellow and white" in winter, adding warm colors to the picture. The leaves of this leaf turned bright yellow after frost and were on the verge of withering, but the poet saw another realm with the eyes of "spring"-the rebirth of trees; Similarly, in the poet's view, although the cherry tree has no red leaves, isn't the white branch a bright white flower?

The above two couplets are unique in landscape writing and ingenious in conception. The use of overlapping words such as "vigorous" and "lonely" adds a sense of rhythm to this poem and is powerful. Although the author has been describing the scenery, we can feel his relaxed and happy mood and optimistic and open-minded attitude. The ending said that the winter scenery was pleasant and made me feel very comfortable. I really want to be a carefree person and get drunk if I want. It's a pity that I'm tired of my official position and can't go in and out of the restaurant freely. The conclusion expresses the poet's yearning for a free and easy life.

Bai Juyi's early winter

Bai Juyi? Tang dynasty

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.
