"Song of Peach Blossom Temple"

——Tang Bohu Plant peach trees and pick peach blossoms to sell for wine money.

When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers, but when you are drunk, you come to sleep under flowers;

Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that I will die of old age among flowers and wine, and I don’t want to bow in front of carriages and horses;

The dust of carriages and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine-cup branches are for the poor.

If you compare the rich to the poor, one will be on the ground and the other will be in the sky;

If you compare the poor to the chariots and horses, he will have to drive and I will have nothing to do.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they cannot see through it;

There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers and no wine to cultivate the fields.
