Wanderers
Tang Mengjiao
Daylilies give birth to the stairs, and the wanderers travel the world.
Leaning on the door of the hall, there were no daylilies in sight.
Poetic:
Daylilies grow on the stone steps in front of the Mother Hall, and wanderers wander outside.
The kind mother leaned against the hall door and watched, she missed the wanderer and could not see the daylilies.
Meng Jiao has been wandering away from his parents all his life, tasted the heat of the world, and felt more and more precious family affection, so he wrote poems such as "Youzi". In this poem, he does not write about the wanderer's longing for his mother, but uses the allegory of the scene, imagining his mother leaning against the door in front of the daylily hall and looking away, waiting for the wanderer to return home, revealing the subtle and deep emotions between mother and son, which is moving.

Reminder ✦
Because of the similar shape of the flowers, many literature confuses daylilies with yellow cauliflower. Please keep in mind that if the text mentions that daylilies can be eaten, it must refer to yellow cauliflower in the vegetable field, not daylilies in the flower bed.
Daylilies themselves are not toxic, but after gastrointestinal absorption, dicolchicine will be produced, which is highly toxic. Daylilies can be kept at home, but must not be eaten.
