Zang Di: Original text of "Butterfly Loves Flowers" You are not vulnerable to my blindness. You are like a flower, and when I see clearly You are actually more like jade; Your true colors are just not suited to shine. You are the bastard of life, It made me search for most of my life. You are not afraid of my fire, When you crackle, like someone is giving Our language pulls teeth. And when you bite me, I know I'm not just ripe for a piece of meat. you use more weirdness completely tore apart my personality, do you think the ending There are also clues that are ignored.

You are not only sharp at my concealment, Rather, it is pointed at all of us. You are not as straight as you are, As I am less experienced than I am, Occasionally I stumble at your indiscretions. I get wet in your drenching, And you're unconvinced, 'cause the waves there Not being pushed by the blue bulldozer. You are more than my ideal. You don't burn, you still have vitality. Your silhouette is stubborn, but also melted into a cry. You are transparent to my blur, You are impressions about the world. You are mellow to my touch— It is tangential motion on the lead.

You do not question my geometry. You are symmetrical to my dazzle, So you are almost my dizziness; You are the crystal cup on the table when I fetch water. have you tried various The cautious approach, might as well say You cling to lean beauty. You are delicious but not lazy, Your cooking skills are almost Like me, but you are more successful. You too succeeded in their confusion, their myth.you even Proud of all their confusion, You refuse to take advantage of their muddy waters, Although you love fishing. And their common sense, you say, bah! You are more than my harvest,

as you use your true colors More than my lust. You seem forever less than my mill: You are a finer quality than medicine noodles; If there is a doomsday, you are the cure. You are not less than one, but you Still exceptions.you bond with My tall, trembling on the branches Like a bird's nest in the autumn wind. You just don't fly.You go to extremes, It seems that extreme is also a journey. You are not beautiful enough, And I'm astonished at how unastonishing you are, Even compared with the shadow, you are a master. You don't spend in the world of flowers. You are not lying on the bunting;

You spread out, but not against the wind. You are not a hundred meters away, You are near what they say is far, And when I sprint, I find Butterflies drag me down; I rage at the inaccuracy of the front legs as well, Can't fly like a horse. This is a parody of the name of the classical ci, and it is said to be a love poem written by the poet to his first wife.Zang Di's use of function words has formed its own system, and the skill of skillfully using conjunctions, particles of mood, adverbs of degree, interrogatives, and negations as flexible pulleys in the structure and meaning device is quite eye-catching in contemporary poetry , in this "Butterfly Love Flower", the "magic of function words" has reached the point of perfection - if we imitate Zang Di's expression, we can almost say that this poem is almost the alchemy of function words.
