Poems of Zheng Banqiao
Changqianli
The winding alley is at the diagonal corner of Spring City, in the shade of green poplars. The walls are made of ocher, white, green and yellow stones, and the door reflects the water of the blue stream.
The drizzle is playing the flute, the setting sun is playing the flute, and a path passes through the peaches and plums. The wind blows the flowers and they fall, and the wind blows again.
Moreover, there are cars driving everywhere, every family is busy, and the scenery of Jiangjie is beautiful. In April, cherries are all over the market, and shad knives are covered in snowflakes.
The Huaihe River is clear in autumn, Zhongshan Mountain is purple in the evening, and old horses plow the idle land. One hill and one valley, I will live here forever.
