The long fight in iron armor is not forgotten until death, and the pile of plates and colors are the first to taste.
Vernacular: Always wear iron armor and always hold a spear. Even if you die, you will never forget it. Your bright red pictures are piled on the plate, but they are so cute that everyone rushes to taste them.

Chrysanthemum is also used before the wine is washed away, and ginger is used to prevent cold accumulation.
Vernacular: Wine can’t compete with your fishy smell, so you have to use chrysanthemum. To prevent cold accumulation in the abdomen, be sure to add more ginger when eating.
What is the benefit of leaving the cauldron today? The moon is empty and the fragrance of millet is left.
What benefits have you gained from running rampant and falling into the pot? On a moonlit night, only the fragrance of millet remains on the waterside.
Extended information
Poetry background:
"Crab Ode" is a poetic battle between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai by chanting crab dinner. The feudal aristocracy and its younger generation enjoy flowers and drinks in this "paradise" that is actually full of dangers, and the premonition of decline is also invading their hedonic life.
The same crab has completely opposite meanings for people with different political stances and different ideological views. Xue Baochai used the "little topic" of chanting crabs to laugh at Baodai's rebellious path against the feudal patriarchal system.

Regarding "Lin Xiaoxiang's poem about chrysanthemums, Xue Hengwu's satire and crab chant", it is a harmonious and full-featured story in the Grand View Garden. The picture is here, the autumn air is refreshing, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, and the sisters in the Grand View Garden are chanting chrysanthemums and tasting crabs, so elegant! Now that a poem has been completed, we should discuss its merits and demerits.
Therefore, Daiyu's poem about chrysanthemums should be ranked first, and Baochai's poem about crabs is also unique. Baochai's Crab Ode, this poem is valuable because of its profound meaning. It satirizes the corrupt officials who are greedy for fame and wealth, and has a tendency to indulge in arrogance. It has won unanimous praise from everyone. These small topics in this chapter are originally intended to convey the general meaning. Considered a great talent.
Everyone said: It’s just too cruel to ridicule the world. The main purpose has been expressed. In addition, Baoyu's words can also show that Baoyu only calls "happy", which just reflects Baoyu's character of rejecting officialdom. This is also Cao Gong's intention.
The poem about crabs written by Daiyu was all inspired by Baoyu and was written casually. It only talked about the richness of the delicacies and the joy of the feast, and had no intention of targeting Baochai at all.

What’s the point of leaving the cauldron today? The fragrance of grain and millet remains in the sky on the moon. Vernacular translation: When the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, people in the capital are drooling and looking forward to the Double Ninth Festival.
The road in front of Crabs is unclear, and some people secretly praise and criticize others but they are just talking nonsense. Just drinking alcohol can't offset the fishy smell of crabs, you also need to add chrysanthemums. In order to prevent the coldness of crab meat, you must have ginger as a condiment in the belly.
What good does it do to fall into a pot and be steamed today? Only the fragrance of rice was left on the waterfront illuminated by the moonlight.
Extended information: Regarding "Lin Xiaoxiang's poem about chrysanthemums, Xue Hengwu's satire and crab chant", it is a picture of harmony and affection in the grand view garden, and the autumn air brings refreshing , the fragrance of osmanthus floats, and the sisters in the Grand View Garden chant chrysanthemums and taste crabs, so elegant! Now that a poem has been completed, we should discuss its merits and demerits.
Therefore, Daiyu's poem about chrysanthemums should be ranked first, and Baochai's poem about crabs is also unique.
Baochai's Crab Ode, this poem is valuable because of its profound meaning. It satirizes the corrupt officials who are greedy for fame and wealth, and has a tendency to indulge in arrogance. It has won unanimous praise from everyone. These small topics in this chapter are originally intended to convey the general meaning. Considered a great talent.
Everyone said: It’s just too cruel to ridicule the world. The main purpose has been expressed. In addition, Baoyu's words can also show that Baoyu only calls "happy", which just reflects Baoyu's character of rejecting officialdom. This is also Cao Gong's intention.
The poem about crabs written by Daiyu was all inspired by Baoyu and was written casually. It only talked about the richness of the delicacies and the joy of the feast, and had no intention of targeting Baochai at all.

Crabs by Tang Yanqian The clear frost falls in the lake fields in October, and the crabs are as fragrant as tigers at the beginning of the late rice season. The trawling net is used to collect Saiduo, and the bamboo basket is used to pick up the goods from the waterside. The claws are one foot long vertically and horizontally, and are beautiful and iron-colored with the light of the lake. I had already eaten the rock crab, which shocked me greatly when I saw it. I hate the old man with the yellow beard the most when buying it, and the price of ten yuan is too little. The richness and flavor are better than those of a cricket, and the sharp navel is better than the round navel. The plate is cooked and piled with delicious ingredients, and the orange paste sauce is delicious. A bucket is full of red jade, and the pincers are full of red jade. The fragrant fragrance comes out. On the shore, the wine is sealed with mud, and I can't stop chewing it carefully and pouring it frequently. West Wind Zhang Han thought hard about the sea bass, could he know it was so delicious? The cuteness of things is especially hateful, and one can taste the thorns taken from blue flies. Young Master Wuchang is known as a beautiful man, but he cannot be allowed to run rampant in power.
Ying Crab Pi Rixiu was well-known before he traveled to the sea. It has bones and still grows from flesh. Mo Dao is unintentionally afraid of thunder and lightning, and the Sea Dragon King is also rampant.
Crab chanting Li Zhenbai The cicada-eyed turtle is shaped like a spider and has legs like a spider. It never faces people head-on. Now I am eating at the banquet, just like wandering around in the rivers and lakes.
Jia Baoyu prefers the coolness of cinnamon while holding chela, and pours vinegar on it to beat ginger to make her ecstasy. A gluttonous king and grandson should have wine, but a tyrannical son has no intestines. Cold accumulated in the navel, greedy and forgetful, fingers stained with fishy smell are still fragrant after being washed away. Originally, Po Xian had a busy life because of the delicious food of the world. Lin Daiyu's iron armor and long battle have not been forgotten, and she is happy to taste them first. The chelated seals are both full of tender jade, and the shell is convex with red fat pieces that are fragrant. If you are more succulent, I will pity you even more. Who can help me? On the festive occasion, the sweet osmanthus blows clear, the wind chrysanthemum carries frost.
Xue Baochai, Gui Ai, Tong Yin, sits in mourning, Chang'an salivates in anticipation of the Double Ninth Festival. The road in front of me has no longitude and latitude, and the spring and autumn sky in the skin is black and yellow. Chrysanthemum can also be used to prevent the smell of wine, and ginger can be used to prevent cold accumulation. What is the benefit of leaving the cauldron today? The moon is empty and the fragrance of grain and millet remains.
Bad Crab Lu You Old friends and beards have been forgotten for a long time, and the young master has a long history of following each other. Drunk to death, I will never regret it. It seems that I am heartless. The crab fat has been chewed for a while, and the saliva has fallen. The wine is green and the old eyes are bright at the beginning.
—— Lu You
