Original: Xue Mei
Lu Meipo in the Southern Song Dynasty
Xue Mei will not surrender for the sake of spring,
Comment on the poet's contribution fee.
The snow in May is three points white,
Snow loses plum fragrance.
Both plum blossom and snowflake think that they have occupied all the spring scenery, and no one will give in. It is difficult for poets to write critical articles. In all fairness, plum blossoms make snowflakes crystal white, but snowflakes lose to the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
About the author: Lu Meipo, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, recorded four songs, such as Queqiaoxian (March 21st), in Song Ci. "Mei Po" should not be his name, but his own name is Mei Po. Up to now, his original name and word have been lost, leaving only one name called Lu Meipo.
