Yuan did not open the Qingming holiday, and the small garden wandered alone.
It's cold and rainy in spring, so it's hard to give up drinking.
There is nothing to do, flowers bloom and fall, and it seems familiar that Yan returns.
Excellent food gives guests a variety of tastes, don't cherish green money, choose talents.
-Translation-
The Qingming holiday in the future has not come yet, and I am wandering alone on the secluded path in the garden.
The cold spring in the desert is light and heavy, and the spring rain falls and stops. Yu Zui can't help but want to drink a few more drinks a night.
When the season comes, there is nothing anyone can do. The lovely swallow is familiar with it and flies back to the house.
There are many talented scholars among the guests in the garden. Only by scrimping and saving can we select more talents.

-Appreciate-
This is an impromptu work, that is, the fusion of scenery, feelings, philosophy and art, lingering and subtle, and profound feelings. The first six sentences describe the scenery. In late spring and March, the lingering chill, falling flowers and falling flowers, the swallow returns. The poet's secluded path in the small garden makes people feel that time flies and life is short. A faint sadness climbed into my heart, so I let out a sigh of helplessness. At the end of the two sentences, the brushwork is reversed and the spirit is steep, indicating that, like Liang Xiaowang in the Han Dynasty, he will spare no expense to make friends and select talents. It shows the politician style of a prime minister who is open-minded, despises wealth and values customers, and is often called a backward prime minister. At the same time, it is also related to that poem. This sentence of "helplessness" is a famous sentence that has been told through the ages, because of its melancholy mood, steady confrontation, deep feelings and rich philosophy.
The first couplet is very fashionable. Start the new season. March is the end of spring, just before the arrival of "Tomb-Sweeping Day", vegetation sprouted and vitality flourished. Dignitary, vacation; Appreciating the whole city is the best scenery in a year. A pair of Qingming You Chuntu was just about to be revealed, but the poet stopped with the words "False can't be opened". This sentence is about real life, with scenes and characters. A mansion with a beautiful garden. The poet outlined a wandering self-image by line drawing. Wandering Alone reveals a touch of sadness.
Zhuan Xu inherited ideas, played up the atmosphere, and set off the artistic conception of "wandering". Use a word "cold" to express the poet's mood before he died. In Qingming Festival, the weather is changeable, because of the "impermanence" of rain and the floating of water vapor, it brings a desert and a touch of cold. "Flower Rain" also implies that flowers fall. It rained and mourned, so I had to borrow wine to send myself. Wine has nothing to do with rain, but both of them are saturated with the poet's sadness of hurting spring.
Parallel couplets are the same as the previous ones, but they are also innovative. "Falling Flowers" and "The Return of Yan" are both eye sights, which can be felt concretely; "Helpless" and "deja vu" are both abstract ideas, and both sentences are written alternately with reality. The poem describes the poet's attachment to the fallen flowers, and the return of swallows is used to express the flow of years, which shows that the ups and downs of personnel are endless. The two sentences are skillful in workmanship and fluent in syllables, forming a euphemistic and mournful artistic conception, and the scenery is lyrical and interesting. Moreover, Yan Shu herself especially appreciated this pair and moved it into the word "Huanxisha" without saying a word. As the saying goes, "a new song and a glass of wine, the weather was old last year, when did the sun set?" ? I can't help falling, as if I know my face is returning, and the small garden is lonely. "
The coccygeal joint is the opposite question, which is unexpected. Now that the poet has grasped the philosophy of life, it is useless to lament the passing of spring. He suddenly shot up from melancholy, saying that he should choose his duties in time, and the main idea suddenly appeared. "Visiting the beam to return the guest" refers to the story that Liang Xiaowang was a good guest in the Han Dynasty, and only a few scholars visited the beam garden for a period of time. The poet compared Zhang Xi 'an and Wang Qi to Sima Xiangru and Meicheng in Liangyuan. It is extremely said that he has a rich bachelor's degree and is brilliant. The phrase "don't hesitate to spend money, choose talents" shows the poet's broad-minded and natural character. Yan Shu has a prominent position and is more important than self-help and does not hesitate to take in guests. A word "ten thousand" describes its grand purpose of selecting and employing people and shows the demeanor of a prime minister.
This poem is full of twists and turns. The first six sentences write about scenery in one go, hurting feelings and causing physical lingering. The conclusion of the sentence suddenly resonates, just say it. Worry without losing reason, sadness without losing tolerance. "Flowers fall and nothing happens, but it seems familiar to me." It is an epigram in the whole poem, which contains both emotion and reason, which can be described as both reason and victory. Reading it makes people have constant artistic associations and realize the philosophy of life, which may be an inspiration for later Song poetry to integrate theory into poetry.
