[The original text is as follows]

Dust removal is very tiring, so do it tightly with the end of the rope; If it weren't for the severe cold, plum blossoms would smell delicious.

Plum blossoms will not have a refreshing fragrance if they have not experienced the hardships of wind and frost.

[Usage] Used to describe that you can achieve something only through hard training.

[Example] Revolutionary martyrs have gone through hardships to save China, and people know best the truth that "the fragrance of plum blossoms is not biting".

These are two aphorisms that greet first frost with plum blossoms, and inspire people to overcome difficulties and aspire to achieve something. As for plum blossom, Song Fan Chengda's Preface to Plum Orchestration said: "Plum, a stunner in the world, dare to disagree without asking for wisdom and ignorance." The "stunner" here refers to a particularly rare flower, that is to say, plum is a plant with higher quality than others. It can be seen that the author symbolizes a spirit with plum blossom, which itself contains some philosophies; If we give causal hints to the "biting cold" and "fragrant smell" it experienced, "plum blossom" as a carrier will have another profound truth. The author is a generation of Buddhist Zen monks. He used this poem to express his determination to persevere and practice results, and to tell the correct attitude that people should adopt when dealing with all difficulties. This is also the main reason why these two poems are very famous and often quoted, and they have changed from Zen poems to secular famous sayings.
