The name means 'fortune-teller'. A short pattern of 44 characters, it is best known for two poems titled 《
咏梅》 'Ode to the Plum Blossom': one by
陆游, about a lonely plum by a broken bridge, and the 1961 answer by
毛泽东, which opens
风雨送春归，
飞雪迎春到 'wind and rain see spring off; flying snow welcomes it back' and gives the plum a happy ending.
