II. Sample essay Appreciation of the Natural Landscape in Spring Scene (Standard)
Nguyen Du is the literary giant of Vietnamese national literature. The masterpiece 'The Tale of Kieu' is considered the national soul and pride of our nation through the ages. In the work, we not only live through the emotions and feelings of the characters but also enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes through the delicate and unique descriptions of the author. The excerpt 'Spring Scene' is the most vivid, beautiful, and soulful natural landscape in the work.
'In spring, swallows glide gracefully
The sun's rays have crossed sixty-nine folds'
The beauty of spring day is unusually fresh and peaceful, with swallows gracefully gliding across the blue sky. Although spring has entered March, the last month of the most beautiful season of the year, the spring sunlight still brims with vitality. Time passes indifferently fast, but spring still brings forth the most vibrant, warm, and bright beauty to all things. It seems as if before us is the image of swallows frolicking, flying amidst a space full of poetry, tranquility, and swallows bring the spring breeze to every corner.
'Lush green grass extends to the horizon
White pear branches dot a few flowers'
The vast expanse of emptiness stretches high above, a wide, azure sky, while below, the earth is carpeted with lush greenery, a seamless tapestry extending to the edge of the horizon. The verdant carpet of grass is truly magnificent, endless in its expanse. Spring brings forth a vibrant display of fresh greenery, casting a spell of allure and enchantment. The emptiness seems wider, farther, and more beautiful. Perhaps it is the author's love for spring, equally boundless, gentle, and profound.
Amidst the sea of green, scattered white pear blossoms lend an indescribable sense of harmony. The white hue of the pear blossoms amidst the green foliage evokes a gentle, ethereal beauty, making the canvas of spring picturesque and endearing. This time of spring is both brimming with vitality and exudes a delicate, soothing sensibility. Nature in this springtime tableau is abundant, pure, and gentle, with the graceful beauty of pear blossoms mingling amidst the lush greenery and the gentle, serene fluttering of swallows. Everything, the land, the sky, all things are pure, joyful, teeming with life, complete, and seemingly, so are the souls of people at this moment, eager, exhilarated, and dreamy, full of hope.
In the twilight hours, as the mournful melodies of the flute fade away, nature takes on a melancholic hue, causing hearts to be weighed down by sorrowful thoughts.
'Gently the shadows sway westward
Sisters, lost in reverie, extend their hands homeward
Meandering along the small stream's banks
Exploring the scenery so serene and clear
Flowing gently around bends, the water dances
A tiny bridge at the end of the northern cliff, a crossing'
