The meaning of the ancient peach blossom poem at Dalin Temple is as follows:
April is when all the flowers on the plains have withered away, while the peach blossoms in the ancient temples on the mountains have just begun to bloom. I often regret that the spring has passed away and has nowhere to look for it, but I don't know that it has moved here.
