A Collection of Chinese Poems About Flowers
From the early plum blossoms in snow to the late autumn chrysanthemums, flowers are the storytellers of the passing seasons in China. Each bloom carries a unique "Vibe"—some represent resilience, others love, but all capture the fleeting beauty of life itself.
从雪中傲骨的腊梅到金秋隐逸的丛菊，花卉是中国四季流转的叙事者。每一抹芳华都承载着独特的心境——或寓意坚韧，或寄托情思，共同捕捉着生命转瞬即逝的美感。
The plum blossoms at the corner of the wall
Blossom all alone in the chilly snowfall;
You can’t mistake them for snow mass from afar,
For a subtle fragrance keeps coming forth.
Waiting for autumn to come, eighth of the ninth month,
Once my flowers bloom, hundred flowers perishes.
Bursts of fragrance soars the skies as it penetrates Chang’an,
The entire city coated in golden armoury.
Beside the broken bridge and outside the post-hall,
A flower is blooming forlorn.
Saddened by her solitude at night-fall,
By wind and rain she's further torn.
Let other flowers their envy pour.
To Spring she lays no claim.
Fallen in mud and ground to dust,she seems no more,
But her fragrance is still the same.
Far away on the cold mountain, a stone path slants upwards,
In the white clouds is a village, where people have their homes.
I stop the carriage, loving the maple wood in the evening,
The frosted leaves are redder than the second month's flowers.
