1, "Staying at Xu Gong Dian in New City" by Yang Wanli, Song Dynasty

The hedges are sparse and the paths are deep, and the flowers at the top of the trees have not yet fallen into the shade.

Children rush after the yellow butterflies, and fly into the cauliflowers without finding them.

Translation:

Beside the sparse hedge, there is a path stretching into the distance. The flowers on the trees beside the path had faded, while new leaves were just coming up and had not yet formed shade. Children ran after the fluttering yellow butterflies. But after the butterflies flew into the yellow cauliflower bushes, the children could no longer distinguish and find them.

Half of Xuan Du Guan's large courtyard is covered with moss, and the original peach blossoms have disappeared, with only the cauliflowers in bloom.

Plum golden apricot fat, wheat snow white cauliflower thin.

No one passes through the hedges in the long day, only dragonflies and nymphs fly.

Translation:

The plums have become golden, and the apricots are getting bigger and bigger; the buckwheat flowers are snow-white, and the rape flowers are sparse. As the day grew longer, the shadows of the hedge became shorter and shorter as the sun rose, and no one passed by; only dragonflies and butterflies flitted around the hedge.

5. "The Question of Zheng Zishou's Wild Interests" by Dai Fugu, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty

The garden of cauliflowers and hibiscus flowers are far away, and wheat fills the front slope and water fills the pond.

Wildflowers across the pole to stop the ducks, the herdsman with a flute leaning on the cattle to play.

Translation:

The garden was full of cauliflower and hibiscus flowers, the front slope was full of green wheat seedlings, and the pond was full of spring water. Crow herders stop the ducks from swimming through the pond with crossbars wrapped with wildflowers, and shepherd boys ride on the backs of cows and happily play the shepherd's flute.
