We can sense that Spring will arrive soon even though it is snowing. The
shiny jade branches are adorned with cold plum blossoms. Their half-opened
fragrant faces are tender and enchanting. In the yard, beauties come out of the
bath and put on new raiment.
Perhaps God has the following intention: Let the moon shine on the earth
splendidly. Let us appreciate the green-ants 1 in the golden wine
jar. Do not fear drunkenness. We will not compete with the blossoms for beauty
tonight.
1 "Green-ants" refers to the green foam on the surface of newly-brewed wine.
Here "green-ants" is just anther name for wine.
