In Dream, Wu described in more detail the grand occasion of Hangzhou Flower Fair at that time: at the flower fair, people not only had to enjoy flowers, save butterflies and pick vegetables, but also had the custom of women cutting flowers and arranging flowers on this day. In the Ming Dynasty, the horse's "Xuanfuzhi" contained: "Flower Festival, women in the city cut the ribbon and tied it into a bun, thinking that it should be a festival."

Steamed clouds and five colors fly to the sunny dock, and the pavilion is opened to help enjoy the red. " It is the realism of this custom.
