The narcissus dish has in the past brought not a little sentiment to the lives of the Chinese people, and its effect today remains much the same. Even though it may not be the season for daffodil blooms, pouring a little water into the dish and adding a few stones along with a number of leaves can bring a bit of color to the empty spaces of our lives just the same.
水仙盤曾為中國人的生活帶來不少情趣，它的功能在今日其實也是一樣的，即使非水仙花開的季節，在盤內置水，放進一些石子、幾片葉子，同樣能為生活空間增添光采。
