Tang mengjiao
A thread in the hands of a kind mother? Make clothes for her wayward son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?
Annotation translation:
1 Yin: Yin, read.

4 fear: I am worried.
5 Return: Go home.
6 inch grass: grass, here is a metaphor for children.
7 Sanchunhui: The bright sunshine in spring refers to the kindness of a loving mother. Sanchun: In the past, the first month of the lunar calendar was called Meng Chun, February was called Midspring, and March was called Ji Chun, collectively known as Sanchun. Hui: Sunshine. Describe maternal love as the warm sunshine that shines on children in spring.
The first two sentences, "thread in the hands of a loving mother makes clothes for her wayward boy's body", closely link "loving mother" and "wandering son" with two very common things, and write the flesh-and-blood feelings of mother and child. Three or four sentences, "She sewed carefully and mended thoroughly, fearing that the delay would make him go home late", deepened this kind of flesh-and-blood affection by describing the actions and psychology of loving mother making clothes for wanderers.
The mother sewed thousands of stitches for fear that her son would "delay" and could not come back. Great maternal love is naturally revealed through the details of daily life. The first four sentences are very simple, without any modification, but the image of loving mother is really touching.
The last two sentences, "Only an inch of grass has a little affection, and three wisps of spring scenery are appreciated", are the author's heartfelt eulogies of love for his mother. These two sentences adopt the traditional contrast method: a daughter is like grass, and a mother's love is like spring sunshine. How can a daughter repay a mother's love in case? The contrast and metaphor of images entrust the son's heartfelt love for his loving mother.
