The answers to the questions about Xu Zhimo’s poem Hua Niu Song are as follows
The Hua Niu sat in the grass,
crushed an ear of autumn roses.
Hua Niu sleeps in the grass,
White clouds occupy half of the sky.
The flower cow is walking in the grass,
the little tail is swaying.
Hua Niu is dreaming in the grass,
The sun sneaks across the green peaks of the Western Mountains.

A flower sits leisurely on the grass, walks, sways its tail, and lies down on the grass to sleep when it is tired. It sleeps so soundly, It is still dreaming!

Then our world will become a better place.
