1. "Yuan Day"
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.
2. "Boarding at Guazhou"
Between Jingkou and Guazhou, there are only a few mountains between Zhongshan and Guazhou. The spring breeze turns green again on the south bank of the river. When will the bright moon shine on me again?
3. "Plum Blossom"
There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming.
4. "Climbing Feilai Peak"
When I was at Qianxun Pagoda on Feilai Mountain, I heard the rooster crow and saw the sun rising, and I was not afraid of the floating clouds covering my eyes, because I was at the highest level.
5. "One of Two Poems on Mr. Huyin's Wall"
The long thatched eaves are swept clean and free of moss, and the flowers and trees are planted by hand. A river of water protects the fields and surrounds them with green, and two mountains with rows of gates bring in green.
6. "Beishan"
Beishan loses green and rises across the slope, and the straight cut returns to the pond. I count the fallen flowers carefully because I have been sitting for a long time, and I am slow to find the fragrant grass and return home late.
