Peony poems
"Peony" Xue Tao in Tang Dynasty
Last spring was over, and my tears were wet and red. I am often afraid that I will break up with martial arts. Why is there the Wuling period? Every time you express your love, you should know it without saying anything. I just want to put a pillow by the bar and miss you at night.

Last spring was over, and my tears were wet and red. Last spring, the peony flowers withered, and my tears were crimson, blaming the peony. I am often afraid that I will break up with martial arts. Why is there the Wuling period? I often worry that such a parting will be like a dream tryst between King Xiang of Chu and the Goddess of Wushan. Why did you meet like Wu Lingren?
Every time you express your love, you should know it without saying anything. Peony flowers exude fragrance and convey her affection. Although they didn't say a word, they were heart to heart with each other. I just want to put a pillow by the bar and miss you at night. I just want to put a bed next to the flower bar, so that I can fall in love with peony in the dead of night.
