The ancients had an accurate understanding of solar terms and flower messages that cannot be understood by today's people. Poets often write poems to describe various folk events with unique symbols. Wang Qi of the Song Dynasty wrote this in a poem entitled "Wandering in a Small Garden in Late Spring": "As soon as the remaining makeup from the plum blossoms faded, and the new red begonias were painted. When the flowers were in full bloom (the top and bottom were cut), the thorns came out (top) The poem compares the makeup of a woman with the plum blossoms in spring, and the begonias bloom again, and then it is the turn of the tea flowers to bloom, and the tea flowers to bloom. It heralds the end of spring and the arrival of summer.
