Deck the Tree With False Blossoms
It is said that Emperor Yang (隋炀帝, 569-618 A.D.) of Sui would try to dazzle traveling merchants by offering grand concerts and free feasts. He would even decorate the winter trees with flowers of silk to make it appear as though spring had arrived.
Deck the Tree With False Blossoms is associated with the 53rd hexagram, Wood over Mountain. On the still and silent Mountain a tree grows slowly, weak though firmly rooted, symbolizing movement that proceeds gradually, allowing for transcendence over ordinary affairs [1], [28].
