I am as noble as Lilac, living on a river far away from the world and not getting the attention of ordinary people. The accumulation of more than ten years can only be self-appreciation and narcissism. If anyone can discover and untie the knot in Ding Xiang's heart, he will surely release his feelings and talents with abandon.
Original text
From "Lilac" by Lu Guimeng in the Tang Dynasty
On the river, no one cares about you, but you have been drunk for ten years.
Work diligently to untie the lilac knots and let the branches spread to celebrate spring.
