Fire
[Tang Dynasty] Du Fu
Chu Mountain experiences fire in the moon, and severe drought causes this. It is an old custom to burn dragons, causing panic and thunderstorms.
The monsters burst into tears, the clouds collapse and freeze, and the water boils into hundreds of waves. Their roots are eternal.
The green forest is ashes, and the clouds are nowhere to be found. It's very impressive at night, and the new autumn shines on the cow girl.
The wind blows huge flames, and the rivers float into columns of smoke. The power and customs burn Kunlun, and the light shines on Zhuzhou.
The smell is so fishy that it burns long snakes and roars to entangle tigers. The divine object has flown high, and no stone or earth can be seen.
I would rather slander you, and you will be insulted by this. The officials in Boguan are worried and even ignorant to the master.
Whoever extinguishes it will be afraid of being blocked. Lying in the river pavilion while sweating, my breath becomes deeper and deeper.
