There is a plum tree made of jade in front of the hall. Plum trees bloom, but I don't know who to bloom for and who to thank. Year after year, I don't see others pity each other, only the spring breeze blows, and I come back every year to explore each other.

A plum tree in front of Bai Yutang, for whom?

Only the spring breeze cherishes each other the most, once a year.

In addition to the seven-character quatrains in Plum Blossom, Wang Anshi also wrote a five-character quatrain with the same name.

There are some plums in the corner, and hanling opens them alone. I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.

Several plum blossoms in that corner bloom alone in the cold. Why do you know from a distance that Bai Meihua is not snow? Because there is a faint plum blossom fragrance.
