And on a moonlit spring night when two or three close friends would get together to chat and sip tea, then a few lotuses, water lilies, pussy willows, and reed catkins would be placed in a shallow pan full of water to add some poetry to the air, especially if a slight breeze were to ruffle the water surface and carry with it their subtle fragrance.
至於春朝花月夜，三兩好友促膝談心，對飲賞花。用一清淺陶盤盛水，一邊安置睡蓮數朵，蓮葉田田；一邊則蘆草楊柳參差，再撒幾撮浮萍，當微風徐徐，水面隱隱細浪映月，暗香浮動，幽深綽約的風姿，平添多少詩興。
