Tips

culture
Theme song of Zhang Yimou's 2006 film 《黄金》 ('Curse of the Golden Flower'), written by (lyrics) and 周杰伦 (music/vocal). Lyrics cast fallen chrysanthemum petals as soldiers' blood: 菊花 ('chrysanthemums wither, the ground is covered in wounds') — earned Jay Chou a Hong Kong Film Award.
usage
Literally 'chrysanthemum platform / terrace'. The image draws on the Double Ninth festival tradition of climbing high and viewing chrysanthemums, reframed here as a metaphor for a lover left behind during war.
