Ancient poems describing the scenery of the four seasons

1. Original text: There is no youth in the New Year, and I was surprised to see grass buds in early February. The white snow is too late for spring, so it flies through the trees in the garden.

From: "Spring Snow" by Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty

Interpretation: Even in the New Year, there are still no fragrant flowers. It was only in early February that I was surprised to find new shoots of grass sprouting. . Bai Xue also thought that spring came too late, so she deliberately turned into flowers and flew among the trees in the courtyard.

2. Original text: The green trees are dense and the summer is long, and the balcony reflects into the pond. The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, filling the courtyard with roses and incense.

From: "Summer in the Mountain Pavilion" by Gao Pian of the Tang Dynasty

Interpretation: The summer is long with lush green trees and dense shade, and the reflection of the balcony is reflected in the pond. The water curtains were shaking in the breeze, and the roses on the shelves filled the courtyard with fragrance.

3. Original text: Far up the Hanshan Mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there is a home deep in the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost.

From: "Mountain Travel" by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty

Interpretation: Along the winding path up the mountain, there are actually people living deep in the white clouds. I stopped the car because I loved the evening view of the maple forest in late autumn. The maple leaves, stained by autumn frost, were more beautiful than the spring flowers in February.

4. Original text: When I open the door in the morning, the mountains are covered with snow. The snow is clear, the clouds are pale, and the sun is cold. The eaves stream is not dripping with plum blossom jelly, a kind of loneliness that is not leisurely.

From: "The Snow Queen in the Mountains" by Zheng Xie of the Qing Dynasty

Explanation: When I woke up in the morning and opened the door, I saw that the top of the mountain was covered with heavy snow. At this time, the sky has cleared up, and the light of the rising sun has become colder through the light white clouds. The snow on the eaves has not yet begun to melt, and the plum blossom branches in the courtyard are still frozen by ice and snow. How unusual is such a cold and lonely atmosphere!

5. Original text: The oriole crows thousands of miles away and the green reflects the red, and the wine flag winds in the water village, mountain and Guo. There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are many towers in the mist.

From: "Jiangnan Spring" by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty

Interpretation: The vast south of the Yangtze River is full of orioles and swallows dancing, green trees and red flowers complement each other, and wine flags are flying everywhere in the villages near the water and in the city walls at the foot of the mountains. Many of the more than 480 ancient temples left over from the Southern Dynasties are now shrouded in mist.
