The Southern Song Dynasty poet Weng Sen has four "persuasion poems" "Four Hours of Reading Music", which are divided into four poems: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Prepare to write four screens on four-foot antique dragon rice paper. Launched today is one of the four songs, "Four Hours of Reading Music and Spring". The original text is as follows:
Mountain light illuminates the corridor around the sills,
Dancing goose returns to the spring breeze.
Good bird branches are also friends,
Falling flowers are all articles.
Old Shao Guang,
Only reading is good in life.
What is the joy of reading?
The grass in front of the green window is not removed.
The meaning of the poem is that the sun shines on the railing outside the courtyard, the flowing water flows around the promenade, and the people who return from the cool bathe in the fragrance of the flowers sent by the spring breeze and chant poetry as they walk. The birds that stopped at the branches, the friends who accompanied me in reading; The falling flowers floating on the water can inspire me to make wonderful articles. Don't waste time, only reading is the best thing in life. What is the joy of reading? It's like green grass growing in front of a window without cutting it, and looking at it, it is a thriving scene.
The poet's intention is to appreciate the beauty of spring light, and not to forget his studies, but to put reading first.
—— Wu Feng (Yi Feng)
