This is a Zen poem. It is the most beautiful realm in the world advocated by Zen.
The first sentence, once the flower is fully open, it will soon wither; Once the moon is full, it will soon be defective, but people still look forward to it.
In the second sentence, although what we see is not perfect, people are still unwilling to accept this reality and concentrate on finding the perfect month.
The third sentence, although you know that Huayue can't feel emotions like people, you can't do whatever you want just because you know how you feel. The fourth sentence, it is very pitiful to flatter yourself in the heartless situation of the flower moon.
The whole poem is to persuade people not to walk into a dead end, and not always hope that everything can be perfect at will, and contentment is always happy. In the lecture of The Analects of Confucius, Yu Dan talked about the words of the sages, "The most perfect state of life is' flowers are not in full bloom and the moon is not round'".
