For example, in Poems of the Three Kingdoms of Han Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are three poems of Tao Ye in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, one of which is: "Seven treasures draw a group fan, bright and bright moonlight. "It's summer with Lang, but we can't forget each other when we remember each other.
