The Spring City in "Cold Food" refers to Chang'an, the capital city in spring. The whole sentence is that flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and the east wind and the willow trees are leaning against the cold food. "Cold Food" is a poem written by Han Hong, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem uses line drawing techniques to depict the royal family's style realistically, and is full of intoxication with the spring scenery of the imperial capital and praises for the prosperity and peace of the times. From the emperor to ordinary court officials at that time, they all preferred this poem, and it has always been highly praised.

"Cold Food"

Tang Dynasty: Han Hong

Flowers are flying everywhere in Spring City, and the east wind of Cold Food keeps the willows from slanting.

At dusk, candles were passed around the Han Palace, and light smoke dispersed into the house of the Five Marquises.

Translation: In late spring, catkins are flying and countless reds fall everywhere in Chang'an City. The east wind blows the willow branches in the Royal Garden during the Cold Food Festival. As night fell, the palace was busy passing candles around, and the light smoke from the candles dispersed into the homes of princes and nobles.

Appreciation: The first two sentences are the scenery described by the poet from a high position and having a panoramic view of the whole city. The word "Spring City" is highly condensed and gorgeous. "Spring" is a natural season, and the city is a human city. The combination of the two presents an infinitely beautiful landscape.

The last two sentences are about night: "At dusk, candles were passed down from the Han Palace, and light smoke dispersed into the houses of the five princes." "Ridu" means evening. "Han Palace" refers to the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. These two sentences mean that on the Cold Food Festival, every household is not allowed to light fires and light lamps, but the palace is an exception. The poet makes a subtle satire on this corrupt political phenomenon.
