Tips

culture
A short pattern of 50 characters, often used for light or pastoral verse. 辛弃疾's has the couplet 稻花香里说丰年,听取蛙声一片 'amid the scent of rice flowers they talk of a good harvest, and hear the frogs all around', which gave the 稻花香 baijiu its name. 苏轼's opens 世事一场大梦 'the affairs of the world are one long dream'.
