Listen to the spring rain in the small building all night, and sell apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alley.

The swallows do not return. It is late in spring, and the apricot blossoms are cold in the misty rain.
4. "Linjiang Fairy Plum"

The jade is thin and the sandalwood is light and infinitely hateful, and the Qiang pipes in the south tower stop blowing.
Who knows when the strong fragrance is gone. The warm wind blows late, so don't let the apricot blossoms grow fat.
5. "Jiangnan Spring·Miaomiao"
Song Dynasty·Kou Zhun
Bo Miaomiao, Liu Yiyi. The grass in the isolated village is far away, and the apricot blossoms are flying in the setting sun.
Spring in the south of the Yangtze River is gone, and people in Tingzhou have not returned.
