English Rendering
Gorgeous flowers bloom in my garden,
but the wind and rain howl here every moment.
I wish the spring can be everlasting,
please don't let cute petals fall on the moss-growing ground.
Fallen flowers
- Poetry of Zhu Shuzhen
《落花》
Original Text (中文原文)
连理枝头花正开，妒花风雨便相催。
愿教青帝常为主，莫遣纷纷点翠苔。

Reader's Companion
The Essence of the Verse
Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Reading Between the Lines
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
