There are different opinions about the osmanthus in this poem. One explanation is that there are different kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus, including spring flowers, autumn flowers and four-season flowers. Here is a kind of spring flowers. Another view is that literary and artistic creation does not have to copy life. It is said that Wang Wei's "Yuan An Lying in the Snow" has green plantains in the snow, and things that cannot appear at the same time in real life are allowed in literary and artistic creation.
But this poem is one of the five miscellaneous topics of Huangfuyue Yunxi where Wang Wei's friends live. Each of the five poems describes a landscape, which is close to landscape sketch, but different from ordinary freehand brushwork. Therefore, it is appropriate to interpret it as the real spring laurel in the mountains at this time.

Bird-singing Stream is the first poem of Five Miscellaneous Talks on Yunxi of Huangfuyue written by Wang Wei, a poet in Tang Dynasty. This poem depicts the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains, with the focus on the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains. The whole poem closely follows the word "static", much like a picture of landscape sketch.
With moving scenery such as falling flowers, the moon rising and birds singing, the poet highlights the quietness of the spring mountain on a moonlit night, achieves the artistic effect of moving with quietness, and vividly outlines a poetic picture of "the mountains are more secluded". The whole poem is aimed at writing quietly, but it is handled with moving scenery. This contrast is very obvious to the poet's Zen and interest.
