《惊蛰二月节》- 元稹
阳气初惊蛰,韶光大地周。
桃花开蜀锦,鹰老化春鳩。
时候争催迫,萌芽互矩修。
人间务生事,耕种满田畴。
Awakening of Insects by Yuan Zhen
Spring thunders, balmy air, insects have felt.
Vernal sunlight washes hills, rills, and veldt,
Peach blossoms like unfurling Shu brocade,
Into soft-pinioned doves, the eagles melt.
O, eager moments hasten each other,
Verdure sprouts into many a greenbelt.
People begin to hustle and bustle -
Ploughing, toiling, for barley, fruit, and spelt.
