Wang Song Anshi
There are some plums in the corner.
Ling cold drives alone.
Distant knowledge is not snow,
Because of the faint fragrance.
Vernacular translation:
There are some white plum blossoms in the corner.
Braving the cold and blooming proudly alone.
I know from a distance that this is not snow,
Because there are waves of fragrance.
