The Video of Plum Blossoms

It was late when my friends and I got back to Shanghai yesterday.

I combined some videos into a video very quickly after taking a bath. I was aiming to show you all the blossoms immediately, but I fell asleep while uploading the video.

You can watch it here now: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wwG4RMN3byw

I didn't try to speak English in this video because I thought that, however well I spoke, it couldn't match the beauty of those flowers. Instead, I paired it with a piece of music using traditional Chinese instruments.

The lyrics of this piece of music, although I didn't use them in the video, originated from the Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingyun. This poem was originally to describe the beauty of a beautiful woman. I think it is also very appropriate to use it to describe the plum blossoms of yesterday. Here is a translation from an AI :

小山重叠金明灭
The painted hills on the screen overlap, with golden light flickering and fading.
鬓云欲度香腮雪
Cloud-like tresses seem to drift across her fragrant cheeks, white as snow.
懒起画蛾眉
She rises lazily to paint her moth-like eyebrows.
弄妆梳洗迟
Her makeup and combing are done with lingering slowness.
照花前后镜
She holds mirrors front and back to view the flowers in her hair.
花面交相映
The flowers and her face reflect each other in the glass.
新帖绣罗襦
She puts on a newly embroidered silk jacket.
双双金鹧鸪
On it, a pair of golden partridges is stitched side by side.

The Video of Plum Blossoms

Your title is fine. Here are some alternatives just for reference:
• Plum Blossom Video
• Video of Plum Blossoms
• Video of the Plum Blossoms

It was late when my friends and I got back to Shanghai yesterday.

I combined some video clips into a single video very quickly after taking a bath.

“Combined” is perfect, but “edited” would also be OK.

The lyrics of / to / for this piece of music, although I didn't use them in the video, originated from the Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingyun.

This poem was originally to describe the beauty of a (beautiful) woman.

It’s better if you don’t repeat “beauty/beautiful.”

I think it is also very appropriate to use it to describe theyesterday’s plum blossoms of yesterday.

“Yesterday’s” is more natural. “The plum blossoms of yesterday” sounds like you’re using “yesterday” figuratively to refer to the distant past, like “the plum blossoms of yore.”

You could also replace “to use it to describe” with “for”:
“ I think it is also very appropriate for yesterday’s plum blossoms.”

Thanks for the video. The flowers and music are both beautiful.

You must have been very tired. The poem is beautiful but not all poems are easy to understand, is there a technique for understanding them?

The plum blossoms are beautiful too 🙏🏾❤️.

谢谢你!

中国古诗词是另外一个语言表达的系统了,不太建议自学。但你可以从这样的角度接触它:每次碰到你喜欢的诗句,理解这个句子,然后记住就好了。从单句开始,然后慢慢你也会有些基础的中国诗词的感知了。
