The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jinyuan clearly loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang came, people all over the world have loved peonies. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.
Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love between chrysanthemums and flowers is rarely heard after Tao. Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.

Translation of Ailian's Theory
There are many kinds of flowers and trees on the water and land, which are worth taking care of. Tao Yuanming only loves chrysanthemums in Jin Dynasty. People all over the world have loved peony since the Tang Dynasty. I only like lotus flowers. It grows out of the mud, but it is not polluted. It has been washed with clear water, but it doesn't look attractive. Its stem runs through the middle, its shape is straight, it has no branches, its fragrance spreads far away, it is more fragrant, and it stands straight and clean. You can see it from a distance, but you can't play with it.
In my opinion, chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers; Peony is a rich person in flowers; Lotus is a gentleman among flowers. Alas! The love for chrysanthemums was rarely heard by Tao Yuanming after that. Who else loves lotus flowers as much as I do? Of course, there are many people who love peony.
