"Spring Rafting"

Lu

The child Mo Xiao is a Chen person, and the lake and sea spring are rejuvenated.

Thunder and wind stung the household, and the world opened up and turned into a huge junk.

The scales of the river rise to the stone, and the willow silk shakes the koji dust.

I wanted to go to Lan Ting but returned to the pavilion, laughing and talking about it and finally feeling ashamed of innocence.

Sting

"A little rain is new, a thunder is the beginning of spring", today, sting. The twenty-four solar terms are mostly related to natural phenomena, except that "sting" refers to animal habitation. As the saying goes, "Spring thunder frightens a hundred insects", it is said that during the sting season, the weather warms up and the spring thunder begins to sound, waking up the hibernating insects and animals.

If spring and rain are the prelude to spring, then the thunder of the sting is like a starting gun, so that the winter insects break out of the soil, the grass and trees stretch freely, and the spring is irresistibly vibrant, sprinkling red and green, making the world of birds and flowers, warblers and swallows.

The beauty of the sting season also makes the literati rioters hesitate to write and ink. Lu You said in "Spring Qing Rafting": "I want to go to lanting but return to the pavilion, and I finally feel ashamed and innocent when I laugh and talk." "I wanted to go back to the pavilion to rest, but I still couldn't help but paddle up again, because in the face of such a beautiful scenery, it is not a pity to appreciate it?"

A spring thunder can still arouse the winter insects, this overwhelming spring light, how can we fail it?
