1. "Early Plum Blossoms"

Zhang Wei of the Tang Dynasty

A tree with cold plum blossoms and white jade strips stands very close to the village road and the creek bridge.

I don’t know that the water blooms first, but it is suspected that they have not been sold after the winter snow.

Vernacular translation: There is a tree whose plum blossoms bloomed early in the cold weather, and its branches are as white as jade bars. It is far away from the village road where people and cars come and go, and is close to the stream bridge.

People don’t know that the winter plum blossoms bloom early because they are close to the stream, thinking that they are white snow that has not yet melted after winter.

2. "Inscription on Plum Blossoms"

Li Fangying of the Qing Dynasty

The ink marks on the paper are fresh, and the plum blossoms are the most charming at certain points.

I hope that the wind will blow far away, and every door and lane will become spring.

Vernacular translation: The brush strokes are vertical and horizontal, and the ink is dripping. The paper looks like a few blooming plum blossoms. Beautiful plum blossoms. I hope the wind will blow you to thousands of homes, in front of and behind the house. Seeing your figure announcing spring, every household can enjoy your fragrance and feel the warmth of spring.

3. "Falling Plum Blossoms"

Lu You of the Song Dynasty

One piece can teach a person to break his heart, but can it be built flat and build a wall?

It floats like a visitor coming across the ridge, and falls like a poet going to Hunan.

There are a lot of random berry moss, which even stick to the sleeves and still smell fragrant for a long time.

Dongfeng wants to hold the power of flowers, but avoid being aloof and not asserting it.

Vernacular translation: Every falling plum blossom makes people feel sad, how can it be compared with the incomplete petals falling like snowflakes covering the steps and piled on the wall? The falling plum blossoms are like the immigrants who are hurrying across the mountains, and the falling plum blossoms are like the frustrated scholars who have no choice but to go to Hunan.

Plum blossoms were once so many beautiful and noble flowers, but now they have fallen into the soil and become a companion of berry moss. However, the fragrance of plum blossoms that occasionally stick to the sleeves of their shirts remains long-lasting. The spring breeze is in charge of the power to kill and seize all the peanuts, but it is mistakenly jealous of the aloofness and nobility of the plum blossoms, and destroys them at will without any support.

4. "Early Plum Blossoms"

Tang·Zhang Wei

Thousands of trees are about to break due to the cold, but the solitary root is warm and alone.

In the deep snow in the former village, a branch bloomed last night.

The wind carries the delicate fragrance, and the birds take a peek at the beauty.

As expected next year, we will first send out Wangchuntai.

Vernacular translation:

Thousands of trees cannot bear the severe cold and are about to collapse, and the plum trees draw vitality from the underground heating. White snow covers the mountains and countryside, and last night a plum blossom bloomed against the snow and frost. The breeze blows, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is full of unique charm, and the elegant and clean posture makes the birds start to look at it. If the plum blossoms can still bloom on time next year, I hope they will bloom on the spring stage where everyone loves to admire them.

5. "Plum Blossoms"

Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty

The lightness shines on the stream, covering the Yaotai.

Compared with jealousy and snow chatting, one can deceive spring but not chase it away.

Occasionally, when I meet a distinguished guest, it seems that the frozen mash is being opened.

If you are by the Qin Tower, you can be a jade matchmaker.

Vernacular translation: The light and charming posture of the plum blossoms is reflected in the stream, just like a fairy covering her face with her sleeves and coming down from the Yaotai in a serious and reserved manner. Although the plum blossoms are a little jealous of the white snow, they can still let the snow compare with themselves in terms of their flawless whiteness; but for the gorgeous spring scenery, they dare to surpass it and never follow it.

The plum blossoms met the poet by chance, as if they were blooming for the poet to drink and enjoy the flowers. If he had grown up next to Qin Lou, he would have been able to play Yu's matchmaker.
