The third and fourth sentences expand your imagination and position the fireflies with a pragmatic writing style: Such a firefly that is not afraid of wind and rain, if its direction is not to go to the sky, it must be a star next to the moon!

Nowadays, there are fireflies flying in the courtyard where the palace ladies live. One can imagine the desolation of the palace ladies' life. From the action of the palace maid fluttering at the firefly, we can imagine her loneliness and boredom. She had nothing to do, so she had to spend her lonely years by fluttering fireflies to drive away the coldness and loneliness that surrounded her.
