Roses lean against the low wall in April, pomegranates are red as fire in May, and lotus flowers fill the pool in June.
Gardenia is worn on the head in July, osmanthus is full of yellow branches in August, and chrysanthemums bloom in early September.
In October, hibiscus is putting on makeup, in November, daffodils are on file, and in December, wintersweet is hidden in the snow.

Jiangnan, the sound of green and red flowers, the waterside village in the foothills.

Creation background
In the late Tang Dynasty, when Du Mu lived, the Tang Dynasty, as a mansion, was on the verge of collapse, and the regime of the buffer region, the eunuch's authoritarian power and the dispute between Niu and Li were eroding the giant's body bit by bit.
On the other hand, after Xian Zong came to power, he was fascinated by his achievements in Pinghuaixi and other places and started an immortal dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was so obsessed with Buddhism that Han Yu almost lost his life when he appeared in the table of admonishing Buddha's bones After Xianzong was killed by eunuchs, Mu Zong, Jing Zong, Wenzong and others preached Buddhism as usual, the number of monks and nuns kept rising, and the temple economy kept developing, which greatly weakened the strength of the government and increased the burden on the country.
When Du Mu came to Jiangnan (Jiangyin, Jiangsu) this year, he couldn't help thinking of the piety of the Southern Dynasties, especially the Liang Dynasty. In the end, there was nothing. Not only did he not seek immortality, but he harmed the country and the people by mistake. It is not only a tribute and nostalgia for history, but also a gentle exhortation to the rulers of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Wu Zong made peace and destroyed Buddha, which eased the contradiction to some extent.
This is a landscape poem with a good reputation. A small space paints a broad picture. It is not aimed at a specific place, but at the unique scenery of the whole south of the Yangtze River, so it is named "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River".
