It means that the plum blossoms stand proudly against the snow and the pear blossoms reflect the moon. It is still missed. It’s true that spring comes without you noticing, and it’s a pity when spring goes.
From "Meeting Happily and Blooming Every Year", author Zhang Huiyan (1761-1802), courtesy name Gaowen, was born in Wujin, Jiangsu Province.

The whole poem is as follows:
The flowering period is lost every year! When spring comes, it’s just a matter of sending melancholy over to send the spring home.
Plum blossoms in the snow, pear blossoms in the moon, always missing each other. Since spring has come, I will not know it.
The translation is as follows:
Year after year, we always fail to live up to the season when flowers are in full bloom. When spring passes, we have to say goodbye to spring with melancholy.
The plum blossoms stand proudly against the snow, and the pear blossoms reflect the moon, which still makes people miss me endlessly. It’s true that spring comes without you noticing, and it’s a pity when spring goes.
Extended information:
This word writes about cherishing spring after spring. The author complains with regret that he misses the flowering period every year. It seems easy to pick up, but it is intriguing. The sentence "Spring comes without realizing it" also reveals the common feeling of human beings, that is, things often become more precious only after time and circumstances change. Spring is like this, and so is life. The whole word is simple and profound, novel and natural.
From the writing point of view, the whole poem contains three sighs, and readers seem to glimpse a figure lingering and sighing as spring passes. Emotionally, there are clear levels from self-blame to melancholy to longing to helplessness, with the word "sorrow" highlighted. As the founder of the "Changzhou Ci School", Zhang Huiyan particularly admires Bixing sustenance, but this poem expresses his heart directly, with simple and touching emotions, which is rare.
