The second sentence is about a woman picking white apples. The third and fourth sentences are unique and exquisite in conception. "Lotus" is not only "delicate" but also "desirous of speech". It is not only "desirous of speech" but also very charming. It even makes the girl who is boating and picking apples jealous of her.

In "Guanyong", there is sadness from thoughts and joy from gains.

In "Guanyong", the sadness ends at the "backside"; in "Lushui Song", the heart is sad but still does not forget to work, both of which can be said to be sad but not sad.
