1. Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty "Watching Cherry Blossoms Early in the Morning with All the Guests Bringing Wine"
Original text: The morning reports that the cherries are blooming, and the spring brings guests with wine. The green leaves stick to the cup, and the red snow sticks to the branches. The sky is less clear and the accidents in life are more. Stop drinking and talk about the flowers. How about not getting drunk?
Translation: Someone reported in the morning that the cherry blossoms were in bloom. In the spring, I took the wine guest to the flowers. The sweet green paste filled the sulfur cup and ladle, and the red flowers covered the branches like snow.
The weather is always sunny and beautiful. There are so many unexpected things that happen in life. Stop drinking and let me say something for Hua'er: What are you going to do if you don't get drunk?

The flowers that come here to enjoy are either not yet blooming or have already fallen. In short, it is just not the right time for the cherry blossoms to bloom.
