Wang Jian's poems are as follows:
1. "Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night"
The white trees in the courtyard are roosting with crows,
The cold dew makes no sound and we are wet Osmanthus fragrans.
Tonight the moon is bright and everyone can see,
I wonder whose home the autumn thoughts fall?
2. "Rain in the Mountain Village"
One or two roosters crow in the rain, and the Banqiao on the road in Zhuxi Village is slanted.
The woman and the aunt called each other to bathe the silkworms and look at the gardenias in the courtyard.
3. "The Newlywed"
On the third day, I went to the kitchen, washed my hands and made soup.
I don’t know my aunt’s food habits, so I sent my sister-in-law to taste it first.
