Young Mermaid, Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon (Li Yu)

Yu Meiren [Nantang] Li Yu

When will there be a bright moon in the Spring and Autumn Period? How much do you know about the past? The small building was easterly again last night, so the country can't look at the moon.

Carved fences and jade articles should still exist, but Zhu Yan changed them. How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward.

When Song Taizong found out, he was poisoned by alcohol. Home country: a guide to Jinling (now Nanjing), the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
