1. Love doesn’t know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper.
2. The living can die, and the dead can live. To be alive but not to die, to be dead but not to be resurrected, is not the result of love.
3. I was shocked to realize that I didn’t show my lovesickness, and it turned out that it was just because it had already penetrated into my bones.
4. It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, but they are all given to the broken wells and ruined walls. The beautiful scenery in the good time is in the sky. Whose courtyard is a pleasure? Flying in the morning and evening, clouds and green pavilions, raindrops, wind flakes, and smoke waves. Painting boats, the people of Jinping look at it so cheaply!
5. It is easy for people to grow old, but there are many obstacles and it is difficult for dreams to grow. A little affection, three points of shallow soil, and half of the setting sun.
6. Dreams, whether short or long, are just dreams. What year comes and goes.
7. For you, you are as beautiful as a flower, and the years are fleeting. It's time to look around and feel sorry for yourself in the secluded boudoir.
8. Things in this world cannot be accomplished in this world.
9. Such flowers and plants are loved by people, and life and death are according to people's wishes, so no one complains about the sorrow and pain.
10. Occasionally, the heart seems to be indifferent, beside the plum tree, such flowers and plants are loved by others, and resented by others for life and death, so miserable and miserable that no one cares about them.
Be ready to fight and have a fragrant soul, and keep it until the rainy and plum days.

The artistic characteristics of The Peony Pavilion:
"The Peony Pavilion" has distinctive romantic characteristics, and the author enthusiastically and unrestrainedly endows "emotion" with The power beyond life and death. Du Liniang has experienced three realms: reality, fantasy and the netherworld, which is obviously the product of the author's fantasy. The author uses the artistic contrast between the three realms to express his ideals and thoughts, and uses dreams and ghosts to reflect the cruelty of reality.
Du Liniang’s dream is so gentle, touching and colorful. When I woke up, I was faced with my mother's nagging and desolation. Although the judge in the netherworld looked ferocious, after all, he checked the marriage book for her and let her out of the city of Wusi, which showed a kind of human touch. After resurrecting, the father he faced was only cold and stiff. These well reflect the author's critical power on Neo-Confucianism.
The work presents eccentric colors. Flower gods, land, underworld judges, ghost soldiers, and real characters form a dual world of reality and spirit, deeply depicting the essence of feudal society. Making the impossible ideal of love come true in reality reflects the author's strong idealism. ?
The music and prose in the play reflect the author's achievements in artistic language. Especially in terms of lyricism, it is very detailed and realistic in depicting the character, psychological activities and spiritual world of Du Liniang. ?
