"Grass in the Trees".
- Tang Dynasty Li Bai
The bird is in the wild field grass and strays into the dry mulberry.
The guest soil is rooted in danger, and it will not die in spring.
Although the grass and trees are ruthless, they can still grow.
How to have the same branches and leaves, each has its own withered glory.
Some weeds were mistakenly taken by birds to the dead mulberry trees, and although these grasses grew in a place where it was unlikely to survive, they remained tenacious and did not die when spring came.
Through this picture, Li Bai shows a kind of vitality. Even in the most hostile environments, these grasses have found a way to survive. This is not only about the vitality of grass, but also about the fact that even under very difficult conditions, with the right support and a little opportunity, life can thrive.
In the poem, "the guest soil plants dangerous roots", which means that these herbs do not belong here, and their roots are fragile in this strange land, but they do not die because of this disadvantage. Here, Li Bai may be implying that no matter what kind of environment a person is in, it is possible to find a way to survive and develop.
In the end, "although the grass and trees are ruthless, they can still live because they are still alive." How to have the same branches and leaves, each has its own withered glory. In these few words, Li Bai is saying that although the grass and trees have no feelings, they can still grow, even if they are on the same tree, the fate of each leaf and each grass is different, some prosper and some wither. This reflects a universal truth in nature and in life: even if the environment is the same, the fate of life is diverse, and each individual has its own growth trajectory and results.
"Jianglou Looks at the Sunset to Invite Guests".
- Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi
The sea and the sky look at the east and the sunset is vast, and the mountains and rivers are wide and long.
The lights are on the four sides of the city, and the galaxy is a water**.
The wind blows the ancient trees on sunny days and rains, and the moon shines on the sand and summer night frost.
Can you cool off in Jianglou? It is cooler than Jun's hut.
Looking east, the place where the sea meets the sky looks vast in the setting sun. The shape of the mountains and rivers is broad and long.
There are thousands of homes around the city that are as bright as the Milky Way of water.
The wind blows the ancient trees, bringing raindrops after a sunny day; The moonlight shines on the flat sand, like the frost of a summer night.
Is it possible to eliminate the heat on this river tower? I think it's cooler than your hut.
In this poem, Bai Juyi expresses his desire to share the beauty of nature with his friends by depicting a serene and expansive summer dusk scene. The poem uses vivid pictures such as "the sea and the sky looking east", "thousands of lights", "the wind blows the ancient trees", and "the moon shines on the flat sand", which not only shows the magnificence of the natural scenery, but also expresses the poet's yearning for friendship and cool summer nights. By comparing the environment of the river tower and the hut, the poet skillfully invites friends to share this rare coolness, reflecting the poet's open-mindedness and deep friendship with friends.
"Waves and Sands, Boats in the Rain of Lights".
- Wu Wenying, Song Dynasty
Ship in a rain of lights. Thoughtful.
Leaving the pavilion spring grass and autumn smoke.
It seems that the alliance with the light gull has not ended, and it will come last year.
The past is gone. Nothing more than the West Garden.
Limbo incense cut green moss money.
The swallow doesn't know how to change in spring, and it stands on a swing.
In the rain, the lights on a ship. The guests on the ship have a lot of thoughts.
From the parting pavilion, the spring grass turned into autumn smoke.
It seems that the agreement with the seagulls has not been completed, and they come and go year after year.
The past brings tears to my eyes. Nowhere else is there more sentimental than the West Garden.
The scent in the sparkling waves is intermittent, and the coins on the green moss are blurred.
The swallow doesn't seem to know that spring has passed, and still stops on the swing.
Through this poem, Wu Wenying profoundly expresses her nostalgia for the good old days and the depiction of the current loneliness. From the lights on the boat in the rain to the memories of the past, from the change of spring grass to autumn smoke, from the unfulfilled covenant with the light gull to the swallow's ignorance of the changing seasons, the poet constructs a picture full of sorrow and beauty with delicate emotions and vivid scenes. Every sentence is like a delicate painting, which not only depicts the changes in natural scenery, but also reflects the changes in human emotions. The whole poem exudes a faint sadness, but also shows the poet's profound artistic accomplishment and keen capture of the details of life.
"Send Xie Yong".
- Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunming
Xie Jialan tree has Qingfen, but every time you recite Chengjiang, you remember you.
Thinking about the long summer of the mountain villa, the stone bed sleeps to see the wall clouds.
The orchid tree of the Xie family exudes a fragrance, and whenever I recite the poems of Chengjiang, I can't help but think of you.
I imagined lying on a stone bed in a mountain village on a long summer day, looking out at the clouds flowing outside the wall.
Zhu Yunming expressed his deep affection for his friends through this short poem. When mentioning Xie Jialanshu and Chengjiang, it may refer to their common memories or the beauty of their friends' hometowns, and the sentence "every time I recite Chengjiang, I remember you" directly expresses the poet's longing. In the second line, the poet imagines himself leisurely in a summer mountain village, and through the depiction of "sleeping on a stone bed and watching the clouds on the wall", he conveys a leisurely attitude of life that is detached from the world and lives in harmony with nature. Although the poem is short, it is affectionate and long, and through the depiction of natural scenes, it indirectly expresses the cherishing of friendship and the yearning for a better life.
