An old friend brought chicken and millet and invited me to Tian's house.

On the Double Ninth Festival, I will come to see chrysanthemums.

When the Double Ninth Festival comes, please come here to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

5. Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty's "Early Spring Presented to the Eighteen Members of the Water Department" (Part 1)
The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, but the color of grass looks far away but not up close.
The best thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital.
Translation:
The sky above Beijing Avenue is filled with silk rain, which is as fine and moist as butter. From a distance, the grass color is vaguely connected, but when viewed up close, it appears sparse and sporadic. This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than late spring when the city is full of green willows.
