How many are the fallen flowers?

Ⅳ. 阅读表达
In the world’s literature, there are some famous works about love and missing. The feelings are not only between lovers, but also between other people, such as parents and kids, or friends.
There is a famous Chinese poem, “Love Seeds”. It was written by the poet Wang Wei. He used red beans to express his missing for his friend. The poet wished his friend to collect as many red beans as possible. As time goes on, Chinese people have been using red beans to express a feeling of missing.
Red beans have a strong meaning in Chinese culture. Red beans are often hard and come in the shape of a heart. They are similar in colour to that of blood and can be kept for a long time without fading(褪色). Red beans mean love and loyalty. Men give red beans to their lovers to show their loyalty and women wear jewellery(首饰) made of red beans to expect a happy life.
Compared with expressing love to others by saying “I love you” or “I miss you” directly, Chinese poets express the feelings of love, missing and so on in a symbolic(象征的) way. For example, poets use pears to describe the moment of saying goodbye and they regard the full moon as a symbol of a family reunion.
Chinese people love to use poems to express their deep thoughts and feelings. The charm(魅力) of Chinese culture is shown in several words in the poems.
