The five-character quatrains of Lantern Festival poems are as follows:
1. Tonight is the Lantern Festival in my hometown, and I sit lonely in Duxiangman Village. I have a legacy to keep me company, and I am glad that there are no carriages and horses passing by to invite you. ——Wang Shouren's "Yuan Xi"
2. Walnuts are wrapped in sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, and glutinous rice is like pearls washed out of a well. I heard that Ma's rice dumplings are good, and they sell Yuanxiao in the lantern style. ——Fu Zeng's "Bamboo Branch Poems of Shangyuan"
3. On the night of the New Year's Eve, thousands of colorful lanterns shine. The laughter of Longxi reaches to the sky, and the phoenix embankment fills the pier with joyful songs. The majestic purple air lingers in China, and the red buildings in Yao Township are dazzling. On good days, beautiful scenery brings great ambitions, and the full moon shines brightly on Kyushu. ——Bo Yong's "Renchen Lantern Festival Night Ode"
4. The bright moon is a virtual painting on the screen, and the spring cold is driving rain in the empty courtyard. No one knows about the place south of the Yangtze River, leaving only plum blossoms to test one's eyes. ——Journey into the Desert "Lanxiao without Moon"
5. Thousands of doors are opened and thousands of lights are lit, and the capital is moved in the middle of the first lunar month. Three hundred ladies danced with sleeves and sang lyrics as soon as they entered the sky. ——Zhang Hu's "Night Lamp on the 15th day of the first lunar month"
6. I am pity for the fire tree and the beauty of spring, and suddenly I see the clear light reflecting the night. The shark beads still carry water when they go out to sea, and the sleeves in the hall are full of coldness.
——Tang Shunzhi's "Yuanxi Shadows and Ice Lanterns"
