Mild and strong winds

Pear Flower Song --by Yao Ying

Pear flower, obscured moon, willow young and green.
Everything competes in beauty, casting off old forms.
So new! So fresh! So colorful!
Returning home, on your clothing remains a fragrance.

Harmonizing with Yao Ying's Pear Flower Song

Pretty tree, oncoming wind, the grass is colored green.
Spring light, bright and beautiful, reveals a lovely form.
Skin like snow, shadow like a plum flower.
Cold scent floats around, there's a lingering fragrance.  


Eastern Sea Wind

Largess in Measure, autumn evening, loud climate,
Mountain winds whistling tight, moon still round and high.
Range of peaks, the shadows seem like they're moving.
Grass and woods, once voiceless, now rage and shout.   

The mountain that Eastern Sea University was situated on was known for is strong winds that often gusted all night long. The name of the mountain was Big Degree.--a phrase meaning tolerant and forgiving (vs. Small Air--what we would consider high strung or finicky)
