On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month
[Tang Dynasty] Su Weiwei
Fire trees and silver flowers bloom together, and the iron locks of the star bridge open.
The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows the person.
All the entertainers are wearing plums, and all the singing is falling.
Jinwu can’t control the night, and the jade leaks don’t urge each other.

The bright lights are scattered here and there, reflecting the bright light in the depths of the garden, like delicate flowers;
Because it is accessible everywhere, the city gate is The iron lock was also opened.
The crowds are surging, and the 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.

On the Lantern Festival this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I don't see the person from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are wet with tears.
