次北固山下（唐  王湾）

客路青山外，行舟绿水前。

潮平两岸阔，风正一帆悬。

海日生残夜，江春入旧年。

乡书何处达，归雁洛阳边。

Passing by the Northern Mountains

My boat goes by green mountains high, And passes through the river blue. The banks seem wide at the full tide; A sail with ease hangs in soft breeze. The sun brings light born of last night; New spring invades old year which fades. How can I send word to my friend? Homing wild geese, fly westward please!

People often say that spring is a s【1】 of hope and energy(活力).This poem by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wan(693-751) d【2】 this hope and energy.

Wang lived during the most glorious(辉煌的) period of the Tang Dynasty. This poem is not only about spring and natural beauty, but a【3】 a metaphor(暗喻) the time he lived in.

The f【4】two lines tell us that the poet is t【5】 on a boat. The mountains are green and the river is blue. In the next two lines, the poet describes the open water and a hanging sail. The characters“阔” and “正”s  5  very broad and grand(宏大的)views, symbolizing the justness(公正)and social development of the dynasty.

Then the poet writes, a new sun is rising, wiping out(抹去)darkness, and the spring is c【6】 ,driving the winter away. These two lines are f【7】of hope. They also show the poet’s aspirations(抱负）as a young w【8】.

The poem ends with wild geese that are flying b【9】home after a long winter. Wang hopes the wild geese can send a message to his friends and family-he is looking f【10】to a bright future for himself and for the country.
