This year, because of the long rainy period in autumn, the sun is not enough, some are facing the wind, and the posture is proud; some are budding and waiting to be released, appearing resolute and calm; some have just formed small flower bones, as big as the seeds of peppercorns, which appear weak and can't help the wind; some are smaller, just far away, the eyes can't see, only close to them, can see clearly, like a newborn baby, facing a strange world, silly.

The ancients had clouds: the upper medicine heals the country, the Chinese medicine heals people, the lower medicine heals the disease, which is called the medical way. The reason why he gave Liu Su mu such a name is because "Su Mu" is a traditional Chinese medicine, also called Su Fang, Luo Wen Tree, which has the effect of activating blood stasis and relieving pain. What can bring people is the revival of all things in early spring, the embodiment of warmth. As soon as he was born, his father found out that he was a boy, not to mention how happy he was, hoping that he would be like a little sun to illuminate the darkness, dispel the cold, and be a humble gentleman of good character and elegance.
