(Song) Zhou Dunyi
The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. [Tao Jinyuan loves chrysanthemums alone]; Since Li Tang came, people all over the world love peony. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous. Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love of chrysanthemum flowers is rarely heard after Tao; Lotus love, who is the giver; Peony love is suitable for many people.
Tang Yuanzhen's chrysanthemum
In autumn, bushes surround the house [like a Potter's house], and they tend to be more and more around the fence. It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, but that this flower is even more flowerless.
Zhou's Chrysanthemum
When autumn is full of hedges, flowers begin to appear, but from indifference to prosperity. The path of the west wind gate is full of fragrance, [except for Tao, come to my house].
Shame on flowers and spring flowers, Yin Qin plows the west wind.
[Don't pull this out], we need a few more clumps along the fence. (Liu Kezhuang's "Chrysanthemum")
When it comes to chrysanthemums, there is Tao Yuanming. Doesn't that mean Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums?
