千里莺啼绿映红，

多少楼台烟雨中。

Spring on the Southern Rivershore
Du Mu
Orioles sing for miles amid red blooms and green trees;
By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze.
Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remain
Of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain.
This quatrain shows the poet’s admiration of the splendor of the Southern Rivershore.
《江南春》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七绝。诗中不仅描绘了明媚的江南春光，而且还再现了江南烟雨蒙蒙的楼台景色，使江南风光更加神奇迷离，别有一番情趣。迷人的江南，经过诗人生花妙笔的点染，显得更加令人心旌摇荡了。这首诗四句均为景语，有众多意象和景物，有植物有动物，有声有色，景物也有远近之分，动静结合，各具特色。全诗以轻快的文字，极具概括性的语言描绘了一幅生动形象、丰富多彩而又有气魄的江南春画卷，呈现出一种深邃幽美的意境，表达出一缕缕含蓄深蕴的情思，千百年来素负盛誉。
