(Song) Zhao Shixiu

Mei Huang Shi, every family was flooded by rain, and the pond was covered with green grass and frogs.

It's past midnight, and the invited guests haven't come yet. I tapped the chess pieces bored and shook the wick of an oil lamp.

It rained continuously, the air was humid, the pool water rose sharply, and frogs were singing. The last two sentences of the poem are "If you have an appointment, don't come after midnight, knock the chess pieces and drop the snuff". Entertaining guests late at night, doing nothing, tapping chess pieces, the poet is in a leisurely mood. Therefore, the drizzle is poetic, and the frog sound is so sweet.

He is always catching the footsteps of guests, but what he hears is frogs, so he is very impressed. If you are not waiting for guests, but are anxious to fall asleep, then I am afraid you will be disturbed by the noise that disturbs people's sleep.

York is a seven-character quatrain written by Zhao Shixiu, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The scene of a poet waiting for his friend alone on a stormy summer night. The sound of rain and frogs seems to be a lively environment. In fact, the poet wants to embody its "silence". Knock on the chess pieces and watch snuff quietly. Expressed the poet's inner loneliness. Scenery blend, fresh and meaningful, intriguing.

It rains at home in Huangmei season, and frogs are everywhere in the grass pond. It depicts a typical rain scene in the south of the Yangtze River, with the rustle of Huang Meiyu and the frogs coming from the pond. These two periods defined the time and place and also painted a very vivid picture. In my opinion, Huang Meiyu should be the clearest, longest, softest and hazy rain.

Small, soft, ticking, endless. It's really drizzling, which makes people feel that the air is particularly fresh and thorough. Huang Meiyu spilled it bit by bit, like a wisp, which made people feel as if there was fresh plum fragrance in it. Take a deep breath, as if the sweet and sour fruit fragrance came to my face. The grass by the pond is also growing vigorously, and the color is green.
