What does it mean to know that spring is near?

When plum blossoms break, spring is near: plum blossoms bloom and buds open, indicating the coming of spring.

Original text:

There is also a letter from the end of the world. Meihua knows that spring is near. The wind in the middle of the night is very good and fragrant. I don't know, it blooms everywhere and branches south.

Yutai will be jealous when she talks about pink flowers. Float to the eyebrows. May the cup be deep in my life. Going to the countryside for ten years is old and childish.

Translation:

Seeing plum blossoms in Yizhou, I know that spring is coming. At the end of the night, I can't smell the plum blossom, thinking that the plum blossom has not yet opened; When I got up in the morning, I found that the branches facing south were full of plum blossoms, which was really unexpected. Women make up in front of the mirror, causing the envy of plum blossoms and falling on their eyebrows. If you want to see this scene at ordinary times, you want to drink; It's different now. Since being banished from Bianjing, young people's feelings and interests have disappeared for ten years.
