"Egret" - Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty
Egret is the most elegant.
The new sweater is no match for the snow, and the birds are noisy and silent.
The grasses sleep alone, and the gurgling stones stand for a long time.
The front mountain is cloudless, flying away into the distant blue.
Translation

When the smoke and clouds from the front mountain dissipated, it spread its wings and flew quickly across the vast blue sky.
The character of the little egret is reflected in the purity of its feathers, which is better than snow. It is not like the noisy birds that show off, but is quiet and self-sufficient. , the voice of continuing the revolutionary cause.
