The author and poems of Shanyuan Xiaomei

Little plum blossoms in the mountain garden·Part 1

Author: Lin Bu

All the flowers are falling and blooming alone, occupying the small garden with all the charm.

The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance is floating in the moonlight at dusk.

The frost bird steals its eyes when it wants to come down, while the white butterfly knows how to unite and break its soul.

Fortunately, we can have sex with each other by chanting slightly, and we don’t need the sandalwood board to touch the golden statue.

Notes:

The flowers have withered, but the only plum blossoms are blooming boldly against the cold wind. The bright and gorgeous scenery takes up the scenery of the small garden.

Sparse shadows slant across the clear water, and a quiet fragrance floats under the moonlight at dusk.

When the bird wants to fly down, it first takes a peek at the plum blossoms; if the butterfly knows the beauty of the plum blossoms, it will definitely lose its soul.

Fortunately, I can chant in a low voice and get close to the plum blossoms. I don’t have to knock on the sandalwood board to sing or drink from the golden cup to appreciate it.

Lin Bu (967-1028), courtesy name Junfu, Han nationality, was from Huangxian Village, Dali, Zhejiang Province (some say Qiantang, Hangzhou). When he was young, he studied hard and was proficient in hundreds of schools of classics and history. The book states that he is aloof and self-satisfied, likes to be indifferent, and does not seek glory or gain. When he grew up, he once roamed the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and later lived in seclusion in West Lake, Hangzhou, and stayed in Lushan Mountain. He often traveled to various temples in the West Lake in a small boat and interacted with eminent monks and poets. Whenever guests arrived, he would ask the door boy to let the crane fly. When Lin Bu saw the crane, he would return in a boat. Poems are written and discarded, never retained. He died in 1028 (the sixth year of Tiansheng's reign). His nephews Lin Zhang (Chaosan doctor) and Lin Bin (Yingzhou order) came to Hangzhou to attend the funeral. Song Renzong granted him the posthumous title "Mr. He Jing".
