The author of "December Flower Song" is Wang Binglin.
Wang Binglin, whose courtesy name is Zhenwen and Shiqing, also named Lingshan Weishi, is from Lingshan, the second capital of Yixian County. When he was young, he lived in Wuhu with his father and studied at Wuhu St. James School. After graduation, he returned to Yi County and made a living by teaching. Wang Binglin was good at poetry and lyrics. During his lifetime, he wrote "Yin of Wujiang", "Li Paradise", "Yin with Plum Blossoms", "Legend of Yuanyang Tomb", etc. In the 1970s, his son Wang Yaqing compiled a collection of poems and essays written by his father during his lifetime and published it in Taipei as "The Complete Works of Wang Shiqing". Mr. Yu Youren, an old man from the Republic of China, inscribed the title of the book.
The author of "December Flower Song" calls the poem a folk song, but it is actually a folk song. If you sing in Yixian dialect, you can better appreciate the poetry and get a glimpse of the social conditions and folk customs of Yixian 80 years ago. Of course, the author's relatively depressed mood is also reflected in the lines.
Lyrics of "The Song of Flowers in December"
In the first month, the plum blossoms bloom one after another. The white flowers on the heads bring spring, and the flowers for the new year are seen from the beginning. They are colorful and shine in the wine glass
Number In February, when the cherries are in bloom, poplar branches are blowing and the curtains are blown. A breeze blows through the blinds and blows the flowers randomly.
In the March and Third Season, the spring is wonderful. The flowers are energetic, the grass is fragrant, the plums, peaches and peaches are all beautiful. Let’s come together to pay our respects. The King of Peony
The tea flowers are fragrant in April. A storm brings fragrance to all the people. The master's garden is uneventful and shallow soil is planted on branches. Begonias are planted on branches.
In May, the pomegranate flowers are like fiery red. Planted with cattail moxa and wormwood. Flowers are blooming, there is wine, the Dragon Boat Festival is drunk and the flowers are blooming everywhere
In June, lotus flowers are floating on the water in the pavilion and water pavilion, so you can have a leisurely time picking lotuses. Invite you to go to the South Lake with a small light boat and slowly rock it

In September, the chrysanthemums are blooming and the flowers are fragrant. Every family enjoys the wine during the Double Ninth Festival. The hibiscus buds bear oranges and pomelo on the branches, and they are yellowing early.
In October, the reed flowers are flying like snow. In early winter, the flowers are sparse and the maple leaves on the mountains are strange. Picking the splendid embroidery after three seasons of spring
In the winter months, when the leaves are falling on the mountains, the hibiscus blooms on the waterside branches. Don’t say it’s cold and has no flowers. The trade wind blows everywhere
In the twelfth lunar month, every family is planting daffodils on the mountain. It’s like sleeping The snow is like cotton, copper, beasts and charcoal gather around each other to bloom for another year.
Famous flowers of the four seasons are fragrant in all seasons. Everyone is busy looking at the flowers when they bloom. It is necessary to appreciate them in time. Don’t waste your heart on the empty branches
Instructions for planting peony, peony, pear, spring orchid, autumn and chrysanthemum, each fragrant and fragrant. The flowers are as beautiful as the flowers. The country is gentle and fragrant
