Chinese plum
Wang Anshi in Song Dynasty?
There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone.
I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.
Several plum blossoms in that corner bloom alone in the cold. Why do you know from a distance that Bai Meihua is not snow? Because there is a faint plum blossom fragrance.

Appreciation of works:
In the first two sentences, plum blossoms in the corner are not afraid of the cold, but proudly independent. "There are a few plums in the corner" and "corner" are inconspicuous, unknown, unappreciated, but don't care. The "corner" environment highlights the humble and lonely forms of several plums. It embodies the poet's attitude of sticking to his own opinions despite the harsh environment.
"Cold ling spends alone", here the plum blossom is written without her gesture, only her "opening alone", highlighting that plum blossom is not afraid of cold and does not follow the crowd. Although it is in a lonely place, it still blooms in the cold, writing about the quality of plum blossoms and writing about personality.
The last two sentences focus on the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms. "Knowing from a distance that it is not snow" and "knowing from a distance" mean that the fragrance is floating from far away, faint and not obvious. The poet has a keen sense of smell, unique vision and is good at discovering. "Not snow", not plum blossoms, but the whiteness of plum blossoms can be seen. It means it looks pure and white from a distance, but you know it's not snow, it's plum blossoms. Poetic twists and turns are implicit and intriguing. A faint fragrance, a delicate fragrance.
