In the Qing Dynasty, the apricot curtain was in sight in Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions. The original text is as follows:
Apricot curtains attract guests to drink, and you can see a villa.
Lingbi Goose Water, Sang Yu Yanziliang.
A bed of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant.
In prosperous times, you don't have to plow and weave.
Translation:
The yellow wine flag attracts guests to drink, and the villa is hidden from a distance.
Innocent geese play in the water spinach room, and flying swallows shuttle between mulberry trees and elms.
A leek grows green in the spring breeze, and a rice field is filled with the fragrance of pollen.
There is no hunger and cold in the era of enlightenment, so why bother to plow and weave all day!
