Song poetry printing

Fish has nowhere to sell, and wine is sold as reed flowers. "According to the description in the poem, there should be: monk temple, fishing village and hotel. But he only carved a person, a fish, a bow, a pot of wine and several reeds in the seal. It is too small to describe the scenery in the poem one by one, mainly to deduct the poem.

The king of Wu said, "Why did my son come here? He is still covered in clothes?" There are trees in the garden and cicadas on the trees. Cicada groans and drinks dew, but I don't know mantis is behind; Mantis is committed to catching cicadas, and I don't know that yellowbird is around; Yellowbird craned its neck to peck mantis, but didn't know the projectile was under it. All three should strive for their immediate interests, regardless of the follow-up issues! "The prince said,' Good! Is the soldier who stopped it.
