The Meaning of Plants (26)

When a Chinese poet admiring a plant, he (or she) loved to drink wine. Especially a poet named 黄庭坚 of Song Dynasty. Here are two of his verses:
酒浇胸中之磊隗,the wine irrigated the untold imagination in my blossom,

菊制短世之颓龄。The chrysanthemum eased my sigh for the short life.

In mind of Chinese intellectual, chrysanthemum represent recluse. The typical versed 瓦斯written by a famous recluse 陶渊明:
采菊东篱下,collect chrysanthemum under the east hedge,
悠然见南山。see the south mountain leisurely.

Another poem is describing a picture:
酒浇胸次不能平,  the wine irrigated the untold  story yet it could not  be eased,
吐出苍竹岁峥嵘。So it seeking vent as a green bamboo that can be lofty and steep forever.
