Chinese Valentine's Day love poems:
1. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can they stay together day and night? ——Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Immortal"

2. How can you beg for clever silk with a spider without intending to reward the magpie? ——Li Shangyin's "Xinwei Qixi Festival"
