Plum Blossoms and Snow at One Table

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Social Life in an Ancient Setting · Complete · 1 chapter · 1 read

Mei Jiu wants to keep the snow to set off the blossoms, but Aunt Ge fears someone will slip. Their quarrel costs each of them half their wages. With paper debts and medicine bills still waiting, they take work at the same plum-viewing banquet: one paints a screen, the other hauls snow. Three days later, the poets in the garden praise its spotless whiteness, while those who made this spring scene are barred outside, and even the name on the painting has been replaced.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Lu Meipo’s 《雪梅·其二》 (Snow and Plum Blossoms, II). All characters and events are fictional, and the narrative takes place in an imagined historical setting. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
