When the sun was about to come out, the fog lost in the river city and the rain was faint.
The sky suddenly became a clear mountain curtain, and the clouds were still covered with stone clothing.
Yancun north and south of the yellow oriole language, maiyuan high and low purple swallow flying.
Who seems to know this joy of the Tian family, Hu'er playing the flute across the cattle?
After a spring rain
The weather is clear and the yellow oriole chirps
Purple swallows flew in between the wheat valleys
People busy in the fields
The shepherd boy who plays the flute
