Ducks are playing in the pond, and the water is deep or shallow. When plums are ripe, the weather is half sunny and half cloudy. At the right time, Fang took a banquet to swim around the East Garden, and then went back to the West Garden to drink. When I saw that loquat was solid and hung down like gold, I picked it and made it into wine. ?

This is a poem about drinking in the garden in early summer. This kind of thing is very common among literati in feudal times. On sunny days, they travel with wine and come home drunk, which is a kind of enjoyment, but it has no social significance. The first sentence of this poem is about ducklings swimming in the garden, and the second sentence is about rainy and sunny weather. The last two sentences said that he took wine to the East Garden, and later got drunk in the West Garden and picked the golden loquat tree to drink. The language is popular and vivid.
