Tips

history
From 韩愈 (Han Yu, Tang dynasty) 《早春呈水部张十八员外》: 最是一年春好处绝胜烟柳满皇都 - 'this is truly the year's finest spring, far better than when misty willows fill the capital.' Praises the delicate beauty of early spring over lush late spring.
usage
here is chù (place, moment), not chǔ. The line usually pairs with 绝胜烟柳满皇都 - quoting only half is fine, but readers will hear the second line.
