A Brief Introduction to the Ancient Poem Grass

Farewell to the grass/the ancient grass of Fude

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

Author: Bai Juyi

The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.

Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.

Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.

I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.
