An ancient poem about walking in the winter suburbs:
Era: Tang Dynasty
Author: Wang Bo
Guimi rock has white flowers and sparse pear leaves are red. ?
Jiang Gaohan looked away, and thought about it and cut off his tent.
Translation
The sweet-scented osmanthus growing on the rocks is very dense and white. The fruits of Qiuzi pear have become sparse, but its leaves have turned red. In this desolate Jiangwan, I looked around in all directions. My homesickness was like a tent that had left its roots, drifting away with the long wind.
