Verse translation: Farmers rarely have free months, and people are even busier when May comes.

Delivered on a gold plate, with two phoenixes on a silk fan and plate. It's the time when the bath orchids are in season, the calamus is beautiful with wine, and the oriole is in the leaves. ——Ouyang Xiu "The Fisherman's Proud Pomegranate Blossoms in May"
Verse translation: May is the season when pomegranate flowers bloom. The willows are moistened by the drizzle, and the branches and leaves hang low.

People bathe and change clothes, remove dirt from their bodies, and drink realgar wine to ward off evil spirits and avoid harm. The singing of orioles outside the window broke the tranquility in the boudoir.

4. There is a lot of trouble near Baidi City. Who dares to cross Qutang in May? The wheat in Jingzhou ripens into cocoons and turns into moths. There are many clues in spinning silk to remember you. The grain is flying and the sound is flying, but what is the concubine? ——Li Bai's "Jingzhou Song"
Verse translation: The river beside Baidi City is full of turbulent waves stirred up by the strong wind. Who dares to sail across the Qutang Gorge in May? In the wheat season in Jingzhou, moths have emerged from the cocoons, silkworms are ready, and everyone is boiling cocoons and reeling silk. I miss you while reeling, and I miss you more than the clues in a mess of silk. When the cuckoo was wailing, it aroused my thoughts even more. What should I do?
