1. Original text:
The Arong family is staying up late, and the flowers are blooming on the pepper plate. The hairpins make a noise on the horses, and the torches scatter the crows in the forest. The Ming Dynasty passed by forty, and the dusk scene was soaring. Who can be more restrained, drunkenness is life.
2. Translation:
Staying up at my cousin’s house on New Year’s Eve, with the fragrance of pepper wine and congratulations. The horses of the guests were noisy in the trough, and the torches frightened the birds and crows in the forest. Forty years of life have passed by tomorrow, and the soaring sunset has already set in the west. How could I restrain my body and mind any longer? Being drunk is my life.
