1. The poem "The flowers in the forest have faded and the red flowers have faded" describes spring, late spring, or late spring.
2. "The flowers have faded in spring" - from "Meeting Happily, the flowers have faded in spring" by Li Yu of the Five Dynasties, with the original text attached as follows:
The flowers have faded It's too hasty to see spring red. Helplessly, the cold rain comes in the morning and the wind comes in the evening.
The tears of rouge will make you drunk, how long will it last? Naturally, life grows and hates water. (One work of Xiangliu: Keeping People)
Translation
The red flowers in the woods have withered, and the flowers have bloomed and fallen. It has only been a few hours, but it was really too hasty. There is nothing we can do. How can the flowers withstand the desolation of the cold wind and rain day and night?
The red flowers falling all over the ground were soaked by the rain, like the rouge on the cheeks of a beautiful woman flowing with tears. Hua'er and Lianhuaren miss each other like crazy. When can they meet again? There are always too many resentful things in life, just like the river passing eastward, endless and never-ending.
Creative background
This poem is believed to have been written after Li Yu was captured in 975 AD (the eighth year of the reign of Taizu Kaibao of the Northern Song Dynasty). After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu was captured and headed north, where he stayed in Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) for more than two years. The life of being imprisoned made him feel great pain. In his letter to the people in the old palace of Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), he said, "During the day and night, I only wash my face with tears" (Volume 2 of Wang Zhi's "Silent Notes"). This word was written when the author was a prisoner.
