Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: orchids grow quietly, who can find them? Integrity and fragrance are only secretly preserved by themselves. No gentleman will pick and carry it, even if the fragrance is in full bloom. Every morning, dew strikes, but warm spring always makes people wait. It's just grass passing by, and everyone will quickly hoe it when they see it, even if it is fragrant.

Original: "Youlan"

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

Author: Cui Tu

You planted a lot of people to know, but Zhen Fang just kept it in secret. Since there is no gentleman worthy of admiration, it is not the decline of the country.

Millennium comes early, but youth comes late. I don't know what to do when I am a grass.

Central idea: The author compares himself to an orchid. Even if it is in full bloom, there is no place to bloom. The last sentence is both self-deprecating and helpless.

The elegant charm of orchids is fully revealed from the distance and fascination of orchids, which makes the originally quiet and desolate valley attract people looking for flowers from all directions. This is a poem full of philosophical meaning, and it is a swan song to praise the delicate fragrance of orchids!

Orchids are one of the top ten most popular flowers in China. She was born in valleys and jungles and did not compete with flowers for beauty. She is elegant, dignified, delicate and fragrant, with an elegant and pleasant oriental charm. Throughout the ages, poets have written poems for it, painters have waved their hands for it, and works chanting orchids have emerged endlessly throughout the ages.

In Song Dynasty, Su Zhe once famously said, "Nobody knows Lansheng Valley". It should be exaggerated to say, "I don't know what to do when I am grass, and I don't know what to do when I am fragrant." "Zhen Fang only holds it in secret" refers to the inherent growth habit of orchids, which means that orchids like to grow in deep mountains and valleys, and do not compete with the secular, flowers and endless loneliness.
