Spring stops before Yulan,reluctant to move with wind.so pure and noble as the snow,who would love the tender shape?Willow branches sway in the air,despite of the sunny sky. Threads of gragrance spreads with the east wind,never stop in the common world.---Bu Suan Zi.Ode to YuLan

YuLan means the white yulan while the magnolia means perple Yulan,also called Yu Tang Chun,which is identical to nick name of Sue San-the famous prostitie in Beijing as in the famous opera of "Yu Tang Chun".
