春风又绿神州地,百花齐放枝头笑。恰逢如此美好的新时代,有幸生活在这样幸福的国度,我们每个人谁也不能对不起祖国春天的土地。

When you are old
当你老了
— William Butler Yeats
当你老了,头白了,睡意昏沉
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影;
多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰,
爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心,
只有一人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹;
垂下头来,红光闪耀的炉子旁,
凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝,
在头顶的山上它缓缓踱着步子,
在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

立夏·说夏
立夏三候
蝼蝈鸣:立夏之日“蝼蝈鸣”。按东汉郑玄的解释,“蝼蝈”为蛙类,非蝼蛄(lóu gū)。立夏鸣的据说是一种色褐黑的蛙。
蚯蚓生:立夏后五日,“蚯蚓生”。蚯蚓又名曲蟮,蟮长吟于地下,感阴气而曲,乘阳气而伸见。
王瓜生:再五日,“王瓜生”。此王瓜又名“土瓜”,“瓜似雹子,熟则色赤,鸦喜食之,故称‘老鸦瓜’”,非黄瓜。
