Both plum blossom and snowflake think that they have occupied all the spring scenery, and no one will give up. It is difficult for poets to write critical articles. To be fair, plum blossoms make snowflakes crystal white, but snowflakes lose to plum blossoms.

Secondly,

Only plum blossoms without snowflakes seem to have no spiritual temperament. If it snows without poetry, it will be tacky. When I wrote this poem at sunset in winter evening, it just snowed again. Then look at the plum blossom snowflakes in full bloom, as gorgeous and vibrant as spring. ?

From this poem, we can see the poet's obsession with snow, plum and poetry, as well as his elegant aesthetic taste.
