From Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, The Sixth Collection of Flowers in Dujiang.
Four yellow maiden flowers thrive on the road covered, and thousands of flowers bow and the branches are low.
The butterflies in the flowers are dancing, and the soft yinger in freedom is just singing happily.

This is an interesting story. The path is full of flowers, and the branches full of flowers are pressed down. Above the petals are lingering butterflies dancing around the flowers. From here, we smell the rich flowers. On the path beside the flowers, there are orioles chirping crisply. Their lively and comfortable behavior gives people a relaxed and happy feeling. Poets use the rhythmic words "always" and "cha-cha" to make the whole bright and complicated picture full of movement and make poetry have a brighter and smoother rhythm. The whole poetic language is full of spoken language. It is very kind to read, and the poet's heartfelt happiness in spring is vividly on the paper.
The first sentence "Huang Siniang's family is full of flowers" points out that the place to find flowers is on the path of "Huang Siniang's family". A "path" is a path. "Flowers are all over the path" means that many flowers cover the path and connect it. This sentence is written in a poem by a famous person, which has a strong interest in life and a folk song flavor. The second sentence is "a thousand flowers are low." "A hundred flowers blossom" describes a large number. The words "pressure" and "low" in "Pressing branches low" are used very aptly and vividly, vividly depicting the dense, large and numerous flowers in spring, which bend the branches. The third sentence, "There is a butterfly dance". "Linglian" describes butterflies flying around and reluctant to leave. Colorful butterflies on the flower branches linger because they love flowers, suggesting the fragrance and brightness of flowers. The flowers are lovely, and the dancing of butterflies is also lovely, which inevitably makes people who walk "linger". Write the bright fragrance of spring flowers from the side. In fact, the poet is also attracted by colorful spring flowers, and he can't forget to return. But he may not stop, but move on, because the scenery is infinite and there are many beautiful scenery. The fourth sentence is "Jiao Ying chirps". "Jiao" is a description of Ying Ge's softness and roundness. "Chen Wenjing Jump" refers to the poet Shang Huashi enjoying the beautiful scenery, and a string of wonderful orioles happened to wake up the poet who was intoxicated with the flowers. Just because the poet was happy, he took it for granted that oriole was singing for himself. This is the same as the previous sentence, saying that butterflies are attached to spring flowers, which is empathy. Because the poet successfully used this technique, things and I blended and the scene came into being. This kind of theme is common in quatrains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, it is rare to see such a poem with exquisite description and unusually beautiful colors. After Du Fu's "Flowers Like Flowers", he added "Thousands of Flowers" and butterfly singing and dancing, and the scenery was beautiful. This kind of writing is unprecedented.
People in the prosperous Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the harmony of poetic tone. Their quatrains can often be strung together, so they are very harmonious. Du Fu's quatrains are not written for singing, but purely poetry, so there are often awkward sentences. According to the law, the sentence "flowers are pressing branches" in this poem should be flat. But this "contradiction" is by no means an arbitrary destruction of the melody, and the overlap of "letting a hundred flowers blossom" has a taste of beauty. Although the word "duo" of "Qianhua" and the word "four" in the same position in the previous sentence belong to the same tone, the rising tone and falling tone are different from each other, and the tone still changes. It's not that poets don't pay attention to the musical beauty of poetry. This is manifested in the use of disyllabic words, onomatopoeic words and reduplicated words in three or four sentences. "Liulian" and "Freedom" are disyllabic words, such as the connection between beads and melody. "Chen Wenjing" is an onomatopoeic word, which describes a baby's voice and gives people an immersive auditory image. "Yes" and "Chen Wenjing" are overlapping words. Even if the upper and lower sentences form antithesis, the meaning is stronger and more vivid, which can better express the poet's sudden joy when he is infatuated with Hua Hudie and suddenly awakened by the sound of warblers. Except for the words "dance" and "warbler", these two sentences are all tongue-toothed.
The use of this series of tongue-and-teeth sounds creates a sense of language, which vividly shows the feeling that flower lovers are intoxicated and surprised by the beautiful scenery. The utility of sound is very helpful to the expression of emotions.
Syntactically, many poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are natural, and Du Fu is different from them. For example, "antithesis" (later couplets) is the style of quatrains in the early Tang Dynasty, and there are few quatrains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, because it is difficult to achieve a perfect ending. Du Fu, however, is hard to see, and such a poem couplet is both steady and memorable, which makes people feel that it is used properly: when it is pleasing to the eye, isn't it more fascinating to listen to Ying Ge's "Cha Cha"? Besides, according to customary grammar, these two sentences should be written like this: butterflies dance while playing, and Yinger crows freely. Put "lingering" and "freedom" at the beginning of the sentence.
