Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River. Lotus leaves are everywhere, and fish are playing among the lotus leaves. The leaves of the lotus are to the east, the leaves of the lotus are to the west, the leaves of the lotus are to the south, and the leaves of the lotus are to the north. (Han Yuefu)
The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the trees shines on the water, which is clear and soft. The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it. (Yang Wanli's "Little Pond")
Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? (Bai Juyi's "Remembering the South of the Yangtze River")
Chiri, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and grass. The mud melts and swallows fly, and the sand is warm and mandarin ducks sleep. (Du Fu's "Quequa")
The plums are golden and the apricots are fat, the wheat flowers are sparse and the white cauliflower flowers are sparse. No one passes through the fence during the long day, only dragonflies and butterflies fly. (Fan Chengda's "Pastoral Miscellany in Four Seasons")
