Lyrics of willow/willow branches
Tang Dynasty: He Zhangzhi
Jasper dressed as a tree, hanging down ten thousand green silk tapestries.
I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
Tall willows are covered with new green leaves, and soft willows hang down like ten thousand green ribbons fluttering gently. Whose skillful hand cut off this thin young leaf? It turned out to be the warm spring breeze in February. It's like a pair of clever scissors.

Appreciate:
"Jasper dressed as a tree, thousands of strands of green silk tapestry hanging down", profoundly grasped the characteristics of weeping willows. In the poet's eyes, it is like the embodiment of beauty. The tall trunk is like her graceful charm, drooping wicker, like the ribbon on her skirt.
Here, willow is a person, and this person is willow. There seems to be no obvious difference between the two. And "Jasper" also has a pun meaning. Literally, in harmony with the green of willow trees, it also refers to young and beautiful girls, which just echoes the following "spring breeze in February"-this is the weeping willow in early spring, and it has not yet reached the time when the trees are graceful and the shadows are clear and round.
But the following two sentences are even better: "I don't know who bears the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors." Before he opened it, who thought the spring breeze was like scissors? Turning the warm and cold February spring breeze from invisible to tangible shows the magic and dexterity of the spring breeze, making Singing Willow a poetic model of describing the object.
