Until September 8th in Qiu Lai,
When I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill me.
The incense array pervades Chang' an,
The city is full of golden flowers.
"Floating for Waiting" is a poem written by Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty and the emperor of Daqi. Besides being proficient in martial arts, Huang Chao loves reading and can write poems and essays. Before the uprising, he went to the capital Chang 'an to take the imperial examination, but failed. However, the failure of the examination hall gave him another gain: he saw the darkness of the examination room and the corruption of official management, which made him have a further understanding of the nature of Li Tang. After failing in the exam, his pride doubled and he expressed his embrace by chanting chrysanthemums. This is the famous "waiting for happiness".
