Escape the noise of daily life with our exquisite Chrysanthemum Poetry Mug, featuring a serene chrysanthemum design from the Qing Dynasty and the timeless words of Tao Yuanming’s poem, “Drinking Wine.” Chrysanthemums in Chinese culture symbolize nobility and resilience, enduring through the chilly autumn air.
This poem, titled “Drinking Wine” and written by Tao Yuanming , is one of the most celebrated works in Chinese literature, reflecting the poet’s desire to live a life of simplicity and contemplation away from the hustle of society. Here is a translation:
“I built my hut among the bustling crowd, Yet I hear no clamor of carriages and horses. You ask me how this can be— When the heart is distant, the place sets apart.
I pick chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, And leisurely I see the southern mountain. The mountain air is fine at sunset, And birds flock together to return home.
In these scenes lies a profound meaning, But when I start to explain, I forget the words.“
Enjoy your favorite brew while pondering the profound simplicity and true essence of life, as captured by this elegant poetic expression and delicate floral artwork.
