Shaoling night swallowed and began to cry. I quietly walked down the winding river like a shadow of spring. ?
There are thousands of palaces on the shore and new branches of willows. Who are you green for? ? ?
I remember the colorful flags floating from the South Garden, which was full of colors. ?
The first lady of the kingdom, from the Sun Palace, waited on the emperor's royal chariot. ?
The cavalry in front of them were all holding bows and arrows, and discerning horses were chewing gold. ?
An archer, chest up, through the clouds, smiling. ?
Where are those perfect eyes and those pearly teeth? A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go. ?
A clear wave flowed eastward, crossing the Diaolou Mountain Path, and there was no news. ?
Compassionate people shed tears and hoped that she would be as eternal as rivers and flowers! ?
Tatars on horseback, in the dim twilight, covered the town with dust. I fled to the south, but I was still staring at the throne in the north.
Ailian said.
Zhou Dunyi (Northern Song Dynasty)
The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jin Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone; Since Li Tang came, people all over the world love peony. Lotus grows out of mud without dye, clear without demon. The outside is straight, not crawling, the fragrance is far away and clear, and you can see it from a distance, so it doesn't look ridiculous.
Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Alas! The love between chrysanthemums and flowers is rarely heard of by Taohou. Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.

Flowers of aquatic and terrestrial plants are lovely. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemums. Since the Tang Dynasty, people all over the world have loved peony flowers very much. I only love lotus, which grows in silted mud, but is not polluted. After being washed in clear water, they are not enchanting. The stems are well connected, straight in shape, without vines and fragrance, and stand straight and clean.
I think chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers, peony is a rich man in flowers and lotus is a gentleman in flowers. Alas! Love chrysanthemums, rarely heard of after Tao Yuanming. Who else loves lotus flowers as much as I do? Of course, there are also many people who like peony flowers.
