There is a day-lily in the northern hall; how can it make one forget sorrow?
Tips
history
萱 has little standalone use today. It named a day-lily believed to dispel sorrow; because the plant grew by the mother's quarters, 萱堂 became a poetic word for one's mother. It now survives mainly in given names and that literary metaphor.
register
Literary and onomastic; the everyday word for the flower is 萱草.
