the orange tree still green during the winter time

Did you see the news about DC today? Protesters stormed the Capitol building after White House rally and One died during the incident. Some are saying American is having a new cold civil war. The pandemic and the chaos in the US make me feel very stressed.

Anyway, I think reading ancient poems is like meditation, it can calm down our mind. Thank you all for the encouragement and thanks for 忒綠 give me the inspiration. I dare to do the translation. it’s too hard.

Today’s poem still is from 張九齡. I especially like the very first two sentences.

江南有丹橘， 经冬犹绿林

I am from 江南, but I have no idea if the orange tree still green during the winter time.

Thank you for reading. Please stay safe and happy.
