These two poems describe what the poet saw in summer. The former narrates and the latter describes the scenery. Adhering to the popular narrative style of Bai Juyi's poems, "On the Pool" draws a naughty and lovely image of a child who steals white lilies and doesn't know how to hide them. Poetry is dynamic and static, and the scene blends.
the most vivid sentence in the poem is "I don't understand the trace of hiding", which describes the naughty and innocent modality of children. The poem "Little Pond" starts from the "small" place, and describes the very ordinary small things in nature, such as ponds, springs, streams, lotus and dragonflies, as a harmonious and natural painting with bright colors. The poem "Xiao He only showed his sharp corners, and dragonflies stood on his head long ago." Capturing the fleeting changes of the scenery is very interesting. The language of these two poems is easy to understand, and the antithesis is neat, which is suitable for students to recite and accumulate.
The original work
Xiaochi
The spring eyes are silent and cherish the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves sunny and soft.
Xiao-he just showed his sharp horns, and dragonflies stood on it long ago.
Poetry translation
The spring eye is silent because it is reluctant to flow carefully, and the shade of trees reflects the water surface because it loves the softness of sunny days and winds. The delicate little lotus leaf just showed its sharp angle from the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stood on it early.
On the pond
Little baby propped up the boat and stole the white lotus back.
I can't hide the trace, and duckweeds bloom together.
Translation
A child supported a boat and secretly picked white lotus. He didn't know how to hide the trace, and a boat crossed the duckweed on the water.
