Poems by Grain Rain Heshui Zuo, with Pinyin.

He Shui Zuo, Grain Rain (zuǒ hé shuǐ), fished cold mountain snow alone (dú diào hán shān xuě). Several gulls were startled (sh ù sh ē ng p ǔ xi à j and ng not u q ǐ), and clear waves were swept (mm mm: nb m: q and ng b not s m: o).

This poem was written by Zhang Kejiu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It describes the scene of the Yellow River Basin in Grain Rain. Grain Rain is one of the 24 solar terms in China, which marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer. At this time, the river has become surging.

The poet is still fishing alone by the river in Yu Shuang in the cold spring, which shows his tenacious personality. At the same time, the poet strengthened the cold in spring and highlighted his loneliness through the image of "cold mountains and snow".

The last two sentences of this poem have a strong sense of picture. Through the description of sweeping away the waves, people feel the poet's freedom under the cool breeze and bright moon, and his awe of nature when fishing. The whole poem is affectionate, simple and beautiful, and vivid, which reflects the ancient poets' love and awe of nature.

The background of poetry

The background of Heshui Zuo's poem is Grain Rain in the Tang Dynasty. The date of birth and death of the author Zhang Kejiu is unknown. He served as the governor of Taiyuan and the secretariat of Mingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. The Zuohe River described in this poem may be a tributary of Lingqiu River, a tributary of the Yellow River, and it is named because it is located on the left side of Henan Province.

The left river passes through the south of Longxi County, with beautiful scenery. It was also the place where Zhang Kejiu fished at that time, and he wrote poems here, which was known as a famous sentence in the Tang Dynasty.
