Annotation translation of Zeng Zhinan's quatrains

Quatrains (short awnings under the shadow of ancient trees)

Southern Song Dynasty?

Monk Zhinan

The shade of ancient wood is a short awning, and the stick thistle helps me cross the east of the bridge. The clothes are wet and the apricot blossoms are raining, and the face is not cold.

Note: 1. Short-covered boat. The canopy is a sail. The name of the ship. 2. Chenopodium album-the inverted version of Chenopodium album. Chenopodium album is an annual plant with erect stems, which can be used as crutches for elders.

Under the shade of towering old trees, I tied a boat, walked slowly across the bridge and walked eastward by a quinoa fight. In the spring of March, apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and the drizzle seems to have deliberately wetted my clothes and kept raining. The warm wind with the fresh breath of willows gently blows on people's faces, which is intoxicating.
