On a sunny day and the wind is warm, I can enjoy peonies. The peonies at the Grand Buddha Temple are blooming well. It's not a long holiday, there are no tourists, the pavilions are intrigues, and the Buddha statues are wonderful and solemn. Peonies grow in the back garden. A building in this world cannot have only a front hall and no backyard. The front hall is respectful, and the backyard is full of scenery. That's why Du Liniang would visit the garden and have a dream, singing "What's the beauty of the sky in a good time? Whose courtyard is the pleasure?" The backyard here is indeed heaven and earth. Peonies bloom well and high. Walking into the peony forest feels like walking in the forest. When you emerge, you are dressed in black and covered with golden pollen, like bees. The peonies have many leaves and few flowers, and their purple-red petals are so complicated that people admire them, just like the exquisite embroidery on the upper sleeves of ancient women's skirts, coats, and handkerchiefs, revealing the ease and prosperity of the world.
