Poets also use this to express the sadness and joy of love. Yan Shu's "Dead Hua Lian" "The threshold chrysanthemum worries about smoke and tears, the curtain is light and cold, and the swallows fly away. The bright moon doesn't know how to hate bitterness, and the light shines obliquely through Zhu Hu. " Yan Dao Ji's Linjiang Fairy: "When hate came last spring, the fallen flowers were independent and the swift flew together."
