  In April of the lunar calendar, peonies and magnolias are in full bloom. Appreciating flowers in famous gardens is the best pastime at this time; And the rain, at this time also fly time to stop. Men and women, wearing umbrellas and bamboo hats, fluttered among the flowers, which made people think of Li Shangyin’s poem: “In the spring, the rain always floats the tiles, and the wind does not fill the flag.” This is really a beautiful realm. In the field, there is a picture of a mulberry picking mother. She carries a basket and walks in company, covering the rain with her sleeves. “Silkworms are busy”, urging the women’s footsteps. They are all in a hurry.
