Description: Kedou likes this poem which paints an idyllic pastoral scene. White egrets fly gracefully, framed against the stunning Xisai mountains. Peach flowers bloom and the perch roam freely in the clear rivers. Even if it rains and the wind blows, what does it matter? There's no rush to go anywhere -- enjoy the carefree existence and savour what's around you.

Description: Kedou has chosen this poem to mark Qing Ming -- a day when we remember and pay respects to our ancestors. A sombre mood falls like drizzle.

Description: "A Verse" is by famous Sichuan poet, Dufu. Two yellow orioles sing merrily in the green willows. Framed against the blue sky, a flock of white egrets fly towards their destination. Looking out of his window, Dufu is reminded of a picture postcard. On the west, snow-capped mountains stand guard. On the east, lies a harbour -- a safe port for ships that have come from far away.

Description: "A Drift of Snow by the River" is by Lu Zongyuan. A thousand hills and not a bird is in sight.

The snow drifts against his straw hat and coat, painting a serene scene of man and nature.
