Spring sleeps without waking up

"Spring sleep without realizing the dawn" is from Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn".

The whole poem is "I sleep in spring without realizing the dawn, and I hear birds singing everywhere. The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and I know how many flowers have fallen."

The meaning of the poem is: The deep dream of spring has arrived unknowingly. In the morning, the bright chirping of birds is everywhere. Thinking of the sound of wind and rain at night, I lamented the countless flowers scattered in the courtyard.

Appreciation of poetry: "Spring Dawn" was written when the poet lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, and the artistic conception is very beautiful. The poet seizes the moment when he wakes up in the spring morning to describe and associate, vividly expressing the poet's love and pity for spring. This poem does not use the general method of directly describing the spring scene in front of you, but captures the typical spring atmosphere through the auditory feelings and associations of the moment after waking up in "Chunxiao" (spring morning), and expresses one's love for spring and sympathy for spring. . The first two lines of the poem describe the poet having a deep sleep on a spring night and not knowing it was already dawn. When he woke up, he heard the joyful chirping of birds everywhere outside the house. The poet cherishes ink as much as gold, and expresses the vibrant scene of spring dawn with just one sentence: "I hear birds singing everywhere". But people can know from this that it was the singing of these birds that woke up the poet from his lazy sleep. It can be imagined that there is a bright spring outside the house at this time, and one can appreciate the poet's praise of spring. It is this lovely spring dawn scene that makes the poet naturally turn to the association of the third and fourth sentences of the poem: Last night I heard the sound of wind and rain in the hazy sky. How many flowers in bloom in the courtyard have been shaken down now? Woolen cloth? In connection with the first two sentences of the poem, the storm at night was not a violent storm, but a gentle breeze and drizzle. It sent the poet into a sweet dreamland and made the morning brighter and brighter. It was not hateful. But after all, it will shake off the spring flowers and take away the spring light. Therefore, the sentence "You know how many flowers fall" also implies the poet's faint sadness and infinite reverie about the passing of spring. The reason why this poem is loved by people is not only because of its clear language and catchy tone, but also because it is close to life, blends scenes, and has a meaningful meaning.

Introduction to the poet: Meng Haoran (689-740) was a poet of the Tang Dynasty. His real name was Hao and his courtesy name was Haoran. A native of Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan, Hubei), he was known as Meng Xiangyang in the world. Because he had never been an official, he was also called a Mengshan native. Born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he had ambitions to serve the world in his early years. After his career was difficult and painful and disappointing, he was still able to respect himself and did not flatter the world, so he lived his whole life as a hermit. He once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. When he was 40 years old, he traveled to Chang'an and failed to win the imperial examination. He once wrote poems in Taixue, and became famous among the officials. He was so impressed that he wrote for him. His life experience was relatively simple, and the themes of his poetry creation were not broad. Most of Meng's poems are five-character short stories, mostly about landscapes, countryside, seclusion, travel, etc. Although there are some cynical words in it, they are more of the poet's self-expression. He and Wang Wei are both called "Wang Meng". Although his realm of poetry is far less broad than that of Wang Wei, he has unique attainments in art. There are three volumes of "Collected Works of Meng Haoran" and two volumes of this collection of poems. [3] Together with Wang Wei, another landscape and pastoral poet, they are collectively known as "Wang Meng". He mainly writes pastoral landscape poems. Because he had never been an official, he was also called a Mengshan native. Outside the south gate of Xiangyang, there is his former residence in the south garden of a stream with mountains behind and a river. He once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain.

English translation of the poem: A SPRING MORNING Meng Haoran I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, Everywhere round me the singing of birds -- But now I remember the night, the storm, And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
