Original poem:
Planting orchids
Lansheng Valley is unknown, and I am a guest.
Knowing that pure fragrance can relieve filth, I am more sympathetic to the delicate leaf cream.
Chou Xiang grass with dense roots and shrubs in the afternoon.
For the * * * Hall in Wu Hong, please refer to Chu Ci Zhang at present.
Translation:
Orchids grow in the valley and no one appreciates them. A friend planted some for me in Dong Xuan. Its fragrance can remove filth, and what is more pleasing is that its fine leaves can resist wind and frost. Rooted on the edge of dense stones, flowers bloom in early autumn, and clusters of leaves are shaded by bamboo pruning at noon. I want to use it to take Wu Hong vanilla to your highness, so that we can often see the artistic conception in Chu Ci.
