From: (Song) presented by Su Shi;
The lotus flower withered, so did the lotus leaf holding the rain, and only the branches of chrysanthemum stood proudly against the frost.
Vernacular: The lotus has withered, even the lotus leaf holding the rain has withered, only Ao Shuang, the flower branch that once defeated the chrysanthemum.
Good years must be remembered, it is orange.
Vernacular: You must remember that the best scenery in a year is in the late autumn and early winter when oranges are golden and green.
