Descriptions of their designs follow:
1. “Plum Blossoms” by Wang Anshi (NT$8): “Plum branches in the far corner / Flower alone amid the cold / With their sweet fragrance airborne / There is no mistaking the blooms for snow.”
2. “Orchid River” by Du Mu (NT$8): “At spring’s end Orchid River is magnificently green / Orchids blooming sweetly after plentiful rains / The Chu minister looked wan and haggard / Taking this route to the Xiangjiang River.”
3. “New Bamboo” by Zheng Banqiao (NT$12): “The new bamboo rises over the old / But relies on it for support / Next year new shoots will appear / Rising ten feet around the official’s pond.”
4. “Chrysanthemums” by Yuan Zhen (NT$15): “In fall, the bushes encircle the house, like at Tao’s / Walking its fence, I linger as the sun sets / I hold no special love for Chrysanthemums over other flowers / But no blooms will follow these after they wilt.”
