Zhang Yanghao

"Palace Front Joy - Self-sighing over Chrysanthemums" is a short song written by Yuan Dynasty writer Zhang Yanghao. This song is not about the purity of chrysanthemums, but the author's sigh about his own living conditions. After the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums fell. Facing the fallen chrysanthemums, the author could not help but compare himself to the objects, and felt that he was three times more ashamed than the chrysanthemums. This song praises the chrysanthemum's strong character that is not afraid of wind and frost. The lyrics of this song are as clear as words, showing the "precious simplicity" feature of the song. It is winding and interdependent, with twists and turns, and goes deeper and deeper.
