只 留 双 桧 待 升 平。

Dr. Wangfu, Regional Exam Graduate, His House With Two Juniper Trees: Two Poems: No. 1
Throughout the country, the Wu king built many pavilions among ponds and flowers
Planted rare and exotic flowers and grasses.
Traveled about with a sky-blue canopy over his head
All that remains are two peaceful juniper trees.
Notes:
Wu king: (12th century-473 BC) The kingdom of Wu existed during the Zhou Dynasty, and was located east of Chu kingdom.
