The verses about the beautiful scenery of rapeseed flowers are as follows:
1. "Cauliflower" from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty
Huang Zunshang's green leaves are thick, and thousands of villages are happy to press new oil.
Love his livelihood to benefit the people, not just idle flowers and weeds.
Translation: The calyx of the rapeseed flower is bright and beautiful, and its green leaves are dense. I am happy to hear the sound of oil pressing coming from all the villages. The reason why I like rapeseed flowers is because they can be used to extract oil and can be used to improve people's lives. They are not useless idle flowers and weeds.
2. "Xugongdian, Suxin City" Tang Yang Wanli
The fences are sparse and the paths are deep, and the flowers on the tree heads have not yet formed shade.
The children hurriedly chased the yellow butterfly, which flew into the cauliflower and was nowhere to be found.
Translation: Next to a sparse fence, a path leads into the distance. The petals on the trees beside the road are falling one after another, and the new leaves have just grown and have not yet formed a shade. The child ran to chase the yellow butterfly, but the butterfly flew into the cauliflower bush and was nowhere to be found.
3. "Revisiting Xuandu Temple" by Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty
The hundred-acre courtyard is half covered with moss, and all the peach blossoms are in bloom.
Where did the peach-growing Taoist priest go? Liu Lang came to visit him before.
Translation: Half of the huge courtyard of Xuandu Temple is covered with moss. The original peach blossoms have disappeared, and only the cauliflower is in bloom.
Where are those Taoist priests who worked so hard to grow peaches now? I, Liu Yuxi, who was banished from Chang'an last time because of reading the poem inscribed on it, am back again!
