Ice Lilies Blooming, an Invitation from the Mysterious Place to Spring
Snow-covered slopes begin to show signs of spring, reluctant to wait any longer.
Hearing the first sprout emerge in a single moment,
As if inquiring about the spring news of the grassland,
The first vole to poke its head out of the hole,
A slope, a hill, a ridge,
In the warm sunshine, one minute is unwilling to be wasted,
It will 'flood' into a stunning sea of tulips,
Announcing the revival of the entire grassland,

Top Ice Flowers,
The name comes from 'topping' with ice and snow emerging,
It belongs to the Liliaceae family, also known as wild lilies,
They are the earliest 'fragrant flowers' on northern mountain grasslands,
There are up to thirteen species of Top Ice Flowers in Xinjiang,
They marched north with umbrellas, singing and dancing,
From Tian Shan to the Altai Mountains,
Sequentially unfolding magnificent and desolate paintings,
Whether yellow or white,
They have the spirit nurtured by ice and snow,
They are aloof, pure and self-admiring,
Not lonely at all,
