Meaning: Who dares to say that children who are weak and filial as grass can repay the kindness of loving mothers like Chunhui Puze?

"But how much love there is in an inch of grass, and you can enjoy three spring rays" comes from the Poem of Wandering Immortals written by Meng Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Original text:

The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son. Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?

Translation:

A loving mother makes clothes for her long-distance son with a needle and thread in her hand. Before leaving, he sewed a needle tightly for fear that his son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. Who can say that a child's filial piety as weak as grass can repay the kindness of such a loving mother as Chunhui Puze?

The expanded material Ode to a Wanderer is a five-character poem written by Meng Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is an ode to maternal love. The whole poem consists of six sentences and three crosses. By recalling a seemingly ordinary scene of mending clothes before he left, he highlighted and praised the greatness and selflessness of maternal love, and expressed the poet's gratitude for maternal love and deep love and respect for his mother.

This poem is sincere and natural. Although there is no algae painting or carving, its fresh, smooth, simple and plain language contains rich and mellow poetry, which has been widely read for thousands of years.

Deep maternal love bathes children all the time. However, for Meng Jiao, a wanderer who has been displaced all the year round, the most unforgettable moment is the painful moment of separation between mother and child.

This poem describes the ordinary scene of loving mother sewing clothes at this time, but it shows the poet's deep feelings.

The first two sentences, "thread in the hand of a kind-hearted mother makes clothes for her wayward son's body", are actually two phrases, not two sentences. In this way, from people to things, "loving mother" and "wandering son" are closely linked with "thread" and "clothes", which are very common and common things, and the love of flesh and blood between mother and child is written. Then there are two sentences, "She mended carefully and thoroughly, fearing that it would delay his time to go home." He wrote about people's behaviors and attitudes and focused his pen and ink on his loving mother.

Here, the affection between mother and son is deepened through the action and psychological depiction of loving mother rushing out clothes for homeless people. At this moment before leaving, my mother sewed thousands of stitches "densely" because she was afraid that her son would "delay" and it would be difficult to return. The affection of loving mother is naturally revealed through the details of daily life. Simple and natural, kind and touching. There are neither words nor tears here, but a feeling of pure love overflows from this common scene.

The first four sentences are very simple, without any modification, but the image of loving mother is really touching.

The last two sentences are the sublimation of the first four sentences. By virtue of the intuition of the parties, the next meaning is excavated: "But how much affection there is in an inch of grass, I got three chunhui." The author speaks freely and eulogizes maternal love enthusiastically. These two sentences adopt the traditional contrast method: children are like grass, and maternal love is like spring sunshine. If a child can't repay his mother's love. The contrast and metaphor of images have placed Junzi's ardent feelings for his loving mother.

This is an ode to maternal love. The poet, frustrated in his official career, experienced a cold world and a sad life, so he felt the value of family more and more. "Poetry is born from the heart, and sorrow should be the heart" (Su Shi's Reading Meng Jiao's Poems). Although this poem is not carved with algae paintings, it is fresh, smooth and unpretentious, which shows that its poetic flavor is rich and mellow.
