Title: Two Poems from Thoughts by Zhang Jiuling 
Medium: Solid wood frame, gold-threaded silk brocade, and washi paper
 
Content:
The thoroughwort flourishes in spring,
The osmanthus blooms in autumn.
Each takes delight in its own prime,
Each joys when its season does come.
They have no idea that wood-dwellers
To their sweet smell should so succumb.
Plants and trees have their own ways and
Seek not Beauty’s bouquet to become.
Poem 1
The tangerine grows south of the River,
Its leaves remain green in winter.
Is it because the soil there stays warm?
The tree itself endures cold rathe
Its fruit worthy of honoured guests,
Obstacles its presentation deter.
No law can be found in the revolving
Fate that’s wholly a chance matter.
All go in for planting peaches and plums,
Doesn’t this tree give a shade better?
