4月花神–牡丹
麗娟是漢武帝的寵妃之一，她能歌善舞、和剛過世的李夫人有幾分相似，加上每次都由李夫人哥哥李延年伴奏，漢武帝就把她當作李夫人的替身，並害怕她再次離去，將她放在水晶帳中，把自己的衣帶綁在麗娟的袖子上，這份崇高神聖的愛正符合牡丹的花語。
Flower God of April – Peony
Lijuan was one of the favored concubines of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She was good at singing and dancing, and she was somewhat similar to the recently deceased Mrs. Li. In addition, she was always accompanied by Mrs. Li’s brother Li Yannian, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded her as Mrs. Li’s wife. Afraid of her leaving again, he placed her in the crystal tent and tied his own belt to Lijuan’s sleeves. This noble and sacred love is in line with the flower language of peony.
唐代 · 劉禹錫《賞牡丹》：
「庭前芍藥妖無格，池上芙蕖淨少情。
唯有牡丹真國色，花開時節動京城。」
