Lantern Festival poem

Everything owned by the emperor is full of moonlight like water, lanterns like mountains, and gorgeous and eclectic carriages block the spacious avenue. -Li Shangyin's "Watching Lights"

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the flower market is brightly lit. -Ouyang Xiu's Life Inspector Yuan Xi

Colorful lights and fireworks are dazzling, and gongs and drums are loud and resounding through the upcoming spring breeze. -Zhu's "Yuanye"

The moon without lights is not entertaining, and the moon without lights is not spring. Spring is everywhere, just like the lady seen here. On a bright moonlit night, flashing lanterns set off the moon like pure silver. -Tang Yin's Lantern Festival
