A poem written for an old friend on the fifteenth day of the first month of Lantern Festival.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the flower market is brightly lit. The moon rose to the willow tree, and he met me at dusk. On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the moonlight and lights are still the same as last year. I will never see my old friend last year again, and my tears are soaked through my clothes.

This is the Song Dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu's "Raw Tea Zi Yuan Xi", which describes the Lantern Festival and expresses the poet's yearning for his old friend.
