River Scenes on a Spring Evening by Su Shi (Author)
Behind bamboo two or three sprays of peach-tree grow,
When spring has warmed the stream, ducks are the first to know.
The land overrun by weeds and water studded with reeds,
It is time when globefish to swim upstream precedes.
By the River to the West of Chuzhou by Wei Ying-wu (Author)
How I love the riverside where slender grasses grow,
And from up on trees so leafy, songs of the orioles flow.
Spring flood and a day's rain, by dusk the river runs swift,
The country ferry deserted, the boat, by itself, lies low.
Miscellaneous Feelings on the Residence in Spring by Wang Yu-cheng (author)
With the spring thunder at night, hundreds of insects were gone,
The fences of the mountain house fell and snakes and bugs appeared.
Somehow, the earth worms fought against each other,
Breaking the moss powerfully.
Farmers’ Life in Spring by Song Wan (author)
Flocks of canaries in the fields were searching for food,
The old men talked about the old days.
In the mid-night when he fed the cows, he would call his wife,
And discussed what to grow on Vernal Equinox on the next morning.
Clear and Bright by Chen Zi-long (author)
The drizzling rain in Jiangnan looked like a picture of the screen,
I leaned against the mirror at the window and saw the red flowers there.
The swallows did not come to the corridor,
And the willows were blown by the east wind today.
A Fisherman’s Song by Zhang Zhi-he (author)
In front of western hills white egrets fly up and down
Over peach-mirrored stream, where perches are full grown.
In a broad-brimmed blue hat
And green straw cloak, I’d fain
Go fishing careless of the slanting wind and rain.
3_Each barrel is printed with the characters of the solar terms and related images. They are beautiful and lively.
