willow
Tang: He is Zhang Zhi.
Jasper dressed up as a tree,
Ten thousand green silk tapestries hang down.
I don't know who cut off the thin leaves,
The spring breeze in February is like scissors.

translate
Like a tall willow dressed as jasper, long wicker is soft and light, like thousands of green ribbons hanging down and dancing in the spring breeze. Who carefully pruned these slender and soft willow leaves? It is the wind in early spring and February, which is warm, just like magic and dexterous scissors, cutting out a small willow leaf and decorating a splendid land.
