"Two Catching Locusts in Fuyunling";

It is better to rain in autumn than to smoke in the west. The new law makes it clear that there is such a thing. No one can sue the dog for eating meat, but it is difficult for me to rely on the dog to deliver books. Self-mockery and pedantry are all such things. They just want to control locusts. The frost wind is gradually approaching the Double Ninth Festival, and the wild chrysanthemums are yellow by the stream. After a long period of neglect, you can still dance and get drunk in the village at the end of your tether. Sleeping alone in the forest is a good dream, but looking back on the world is long. Killing a horse and destroying a car is far away, so where did the son get the luxury to ask about his luggage?

Translation:

It is better to scatter the autumn rain than to smoke in the west. There is no new law. I am poor and self-employed. No one can complain that crows eat meat. I still remember that it is difficult for my brother to send books with dogs. I laugh at myself for being pedantic and broad, and I want to control the locust plague. The frost wind is gradually trying to write Chongyang, and the wild chrysanthemum stream is yellow. Abolished the fatigue of the mountain and drunk dancing in the village. Sleeping alone in the forest is a good dream, but looking back on the world is long. Kill the horse, destroy the car and disappear from here. Where can I collect?
