Ouyang Yongshu's poem: "Light, deep, red and white are suitable. They still have to be planted one after another. I want to bring wine at all times, and I don’t want the flowers to bloom in one day." Chinese folk, because of the saying of "Twenty-four Flowers Trade Wind", have been planted since the light cold, the big cold, the beginning of spring, and the rain. , the Jingzhe, the Spring Equinox, Qingming, and Grain Rain, there are two weathers in January and six weathers, eight weathers in April and twenty-four weathers, each with five days, each with its own wind and weather corresponding to each flower."
