lnhammerOutside the jade-green railing an embroidered curtain hangs;
A scarlet-colored screen painted with broken branches;
An eight-foot mat of rushes, a square brocaded cushion:
Already chilly weather, though it’s not yet winter.
已凉
碧阑干外绣帘垂，
猩色屏风画折枝。
八尺龙须方锦褥，
已凉天气未寒时。
The rushes are a type called “dragon whiskers.”
