There is also a beautiful woman’s beautiful smile reflected in the nine-branched firelight.

The crowds are surging, and dust is flying under the horses' hooves; the moonlight shines in every corner, and people can see the bright moon everywhere.
Under the shadow of the moonlight, the singing girls were dressed in colorful flowers and heavy makeup, singing "Plum Blossoms Fall" as they walked. The night ban has been lifted in the capital, so don’t be too busy with the timing. Don’t let the Lantern Festival night, which only happens once a year, pass by in a hurry.

The streets and alleys are filled with the sound of flutes and drums, the crowds of people are moving, and the fragrance is lingering on every road.
I couldn’t help but think of the night of lights in the capital, when thousands of households were decorated with lanterns and colorful lights as if it were daytime. The girls went out to enjoy the scenery with smiles, and from time to time someone left the ropa on the incense car. Where we are destined to meet each other, we will definitely fight each other and let the dust fly. The capital must still be the same this year, but my old feelings have completely faded away. It's not too early for the clock to slip. Let's take the bus back and let people sing, dance and play to their heart's content.
