No one crosses the fence every day, only dragonflies and butterflies are flying, which means that the day is very long, and the shadow of the fence is getting shorter and shorter as the sun rises, and no one passes by; Only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence. Fence: A fence.

This sentence comes from a seven-character quatrain written by Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Four Seasons of Pastoral Miscellaneous Glory, Part Two". The original poem is as follows:

Plum golden apricot fat, wheat white, cauliflower thin.

No one has ever crossed the fence, but dragonflies and butterflies can fly

Explain in vernacular Chinese: a plum tree becomes golden, and the apricots grow bigger and bigger; Buckwheat flowers are white and rape flowers are sparse. As the day grows, the shadow of the fence becomes shorter and shorter as the sun rises, and no one passes by; Only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence.
