In the white jade hall, the joy of spring has been revealed early, and the wine marks in the wine jug made of gold and jade have long since dried up. Who can compare to this unwavering alliance oath that has withered later? The pine and bamboo are still verdant and green, and they will last forever with the years. ”

The first couplet of this poem writes that the plum blossoms of a tree endure the severe cold, and the plum blossoms are written in the jaw couplet, which are proud and proud, not drifting with the tide, and allowing the dignitaries to watch. The neck couplet writes that the spring of Baiyutang is beginning to appear, and the wine in the wine glass has long been dry. The tail couplet is lyrical, and the oath of writing plum blossoms has gone, only Songzhu is young. Through fresh and elegant brushstrokes, the poet writes about the cold opening, growth and withering of plum blossoms, highlighting the helplessness of the passage of time and the ups and downs of life, and finally using pines and cypresses as a metaphor to express the comfortable and leisurely attitude towards life and the inner quality of perseverance.
