Translation excerpts:
There are many kinds of amphibious herbs and woody flowers, which are worth loving. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. People all over the world have loved peonies since the Tang Dynasty. And I only like the lotus that grows out of the mud and is not polluted; After washing with clear water, it doesn't look enchanting; Its stem is hollow and straight outside, without vines and branches; The farther the fragrance spreads, the quieter it is; Stand up straight and keep clean in the water.
