Five ancient Chinese poems about spring

As the winter chill still lingers through early spring, longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere.Before the flowers are in full blossom, here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong’s editions.

Spring Morning

-by Meng Haoran(689-740) of the Tang Dynasty(618-907)

This spring morning in bed I’m lying,

Not to awake till birds are crying.

After one night of wind and showers,

How many are the fallen flowers?

Written in a Village South of the Capital

-by Cui Hu(772-846) of the Tang Dynasty

In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied

In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.

I do not know today where the pink face has gone;

In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.

Happy Rain on a Spring Night(Excerpts)

-by Du Fu(712-770) of the Tang Dynasty

Good rain knows its time right;

It will fall when comes spring.

With wind it steals in night;

Mute,it moistens each thing.

Dreaming of the Southern Shore-by Bai Juyi(772-846) of the Tang Dynasty

Fair Southern shore,

With scenes I much adore.

At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire,

In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,

Which I can’t but admire.

Love Seeds-by Wang Wei(701-761) of the Tang Dynasty

Red berries grow in the southern land,

How many load in spring the trees?

Gather them till full is your hand;

They would revive fond memories.

(2022·许昌检测)Italy’s fashion capital is gray-not only because of the blocks of stone buildings, but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution.But Milan now wants to change it.

The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030—a move that experts say could offer relief from the city’s hot weather.Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements.Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents.Boeri created a small island of greenery in the heart of Milan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.

“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today.It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees,” Boeri said.

Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente, said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area.City shows that Milan experiences 35 hot nights a year.Because the city lies close to the Alps, Milan gets very little wind to lower the city’s temperatures.“Planting trees will help this,” Di said.

The Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds.And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers.The Vertical Forest’s total greenery—can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year.The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people’s health and psychological state, as has already been proved.

[语篇导读]　本文是说明文。文章讲述意大利的时尚之都米兰计划要在2030年之前种植300万棵新树,不仅能够改善米兰的气候,而且改变米兰以前的灰色的城市构造。

4.What change does Milan plan to make?

A.Planting more trees.

B.Creating a new fashion style.

C.Pulling down more gray stone buildings.

D.Doing more surveys to study global warming.
