It's been said that plum flowers bloom in morning breeze.
Snow drifts spread everywhere, in the middle of four mountains.
How can I to transform into a hundred billion bodies?
For every plum tree, a free old man.
Known for being a patriotic poet, Lu You was called a Lover of Country. During the Song dynasty, northern China was occupied by foreigners, and he always wanted the north country to be recovered. It didn't happen during his lifetime but he expressed his wishes through his poetry.
The words for free old man is his other name, Fang Ong.
Quatrain is in place of the words Jueju which is a form of 4 lines of 7 characters each.
