1 立春（Beginning of Spring）
《立春偶成》
宋・张栻

律回岁晚冰霜少，
春到人间草木知。
便觉眼前生意满，
东风吹水绿参差。

Ode to the Beginning of Spring
Zhang Shi, Song Dynasty

As the year turns, frost and ice diminish; spring arrives, and plants and trees sense it.
Life fills the view at once; the east wind ripples the water into uneven green.

2 雨水（Rain Water）
《春夜喜雨》
唐・杜甫

好雨知时节，当春乃发生。
随风潜入夜，润物细无声。
野径云俱黑，江船火独明。
晓看红湿处，花重锦官城。

Delight at Rain on a Spring Night
Du Fu, Tang Dynasty

Good rain knows its time; it comes just as spring begins.
It drifts with wind, seeping into night, moistening all without a sound.
Wild paths and clouds are dark; only the riverboat’s light shines.
Dawn reveals damp reds—flowers weigh down the brocade city.

3 惊蛰（Awakening of Insects）
《观田家》
唐・韦应物

微雨众卉新，一雷惊蛰始。
田家几日闲，耕种从此起。
丁壮俱在野，场圃亦就理。
归来景常晏，饮犊西涧水。
饥劬不自苦，膏泽且为喜。
仓禀无宿储，徭役犹未已。
方惭不耕者，禄食出闾里。

Watching Farmers
Wei Yingwu, Tang Dynasty

A light rain freshens plants; thunder rouses insects from their slumber.
How many idle days have farmers? Plowing begins from now.
Young men work the fields; yards and gardens are tended.
They return at dusk, watering calves at the west stream.
Hunger and toil don’t grieve them; they rejoice in the nourishing rain.
Granaries hold no surplus; taxes and labor never end.
I blush as one who doesn’t plow—my food comes from these villages.

《时雨》

时雨及芒种，四野皆插秧。

衰发短不栉，爱此一雨凉。
庭木集奇声，架藤发幽香。
莺衣湿不去，劝我持一觞。
即今幸无事，际海皆农桑；
野老固不穷，击壤歌虞唐。

Timely Rain
Lu You, Song Dynasty

Timely rain arrives at Grain in Ear; fields are filled with rice planting.
Every household enjoys wheat meals; water chestnut songs echo everywhere.
Old, I’ve grown lazy in farming, spending all day on a bamboo cot.
My thin hair needs no comb; I cherish the cool after rain.
Garden trees gather strange sounds; vines on trellises release faint fragrance.
Wet orioles linger, as if urging me to raise a cup.
Now, luckily, all is well—from sea to sea, farming thrives.
Country folk are not poor; they sing of ancient prosperity while playing clods.

Scattered summer clouds disperse; a gentle cool wind rises.
Autumn returns to the pond; lotus flowers half-ripen into seeds.

Green weeds and red smartweed—every autumn looks the same.
Last year, I grieved here in autumn; this autumn, I return again.

A gentle cool wind stirs; cold dew falls bitterly.
