What is the money for selling charcoal for? Buy clothes, buy food in your mouth.
Pity that he is wearing thin clothes, but he is worried that charcoal can't be sold, hoping it will be colder.
At night, it snowed a foot thick outside the city. Early in the morning, the old man drove a charcoal wheel to the market.
Cows are tired and people are hungry, but the sun has risen very high. They are resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market.
Who is that proud man riding on two horses? It was the eunuchs in the palace and eunuchs who did it.
The eunuch, with documents in his hand and the emperor's orders in his mouth, shouted at the petrified palace.
A load of charcoal, more than 1000 kilograms, eunuch attendants to drive away, the old man is helpless, but there is no way.
Those people put half a piece of red yarn and a piece of silk on their heads as the price of charcoal.

An old man selling charcoal is chopping wood and burning charcoal in Zhong Nanshan. His face is covered with dust, showing the color of smoke and fire. His temples are gray and his ten fingers are black. What is the money for selling charcoal for? Buy clothes to wear and food to eat in your mouth. I pity him for wearing thin clothes, but I am worried that the price of charcoal is cheap, and I hope the weather will be colder. It snowed a foot thick outside the city at night. In the morning, the old man drove a charcoal cart and ran over a frozen rut. The sun has risen very high, people and cows are tired and hungry, and the old man is resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market. Who are the two victorious riders?

Reward Lotte Yangzhou for seeing gifts at every table.
The First Banquet in Yangzhou is a seven-character poem written by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Tang Jingzong Baoli (826), Liu Yuxi went on strike and returned to Luoyang, and Bai Juyi returned to Luoyang from Suzhou. The two poets met in Yangzhou. Bai Juyi wrote a poem as a gift at the banquet: "Bring me a glass of wine and beat chopsticks with you. Although your poetry is first-class and can be called a national champion, it is doomed that you can't get it. Dou Rong's eyes are decent, but you stay lonely for a long time. Full officials have their own satisfactory positions, but you are empty. I also know that the name of the joint is folded, and it has been folded too much in 23 years. " Liu Yuxi wrote "Reward Lotte at the First Meeting in Yangzhou" to reward him.
