3. "Jasmine" by Jiang Kui of the Song Dynasty
1. Original text: Although there is no alarm in the eyes of the crowd, fortunately, the fragrance is overwhelming. It should be that Xian'e returned from a banquet and got drunk and dropped the jade and scratched the sky. The spiritual seed came from Yueshang, who picked it up to Manhang? If I were to study the history of flowers in that year, it would be ranked as the best fragrance in the world.
2. Interpretation: Although it lacks the beauty of overwhelming flowers, its fresh and pleasant fragrance can overwhelm other flowers in this late autumn and September. This jasmine flower should be a hairpin made of jade that fell from the head of a fairy in the sky after she left the banquet because she was too drunk. This jasmine flower was brought from abroad. I don’t know who brought it on board the ship. If I were asked to write a history of flowers, this flower would definitely be the most fragrant.
