Swing on the swing, I swing on the rocking chair. A cattail leaf fan can't open the Mid-Autumn Moon, but whose cry slides into the sleeve along the handle of the fan. In the sky, there is laurel rain. Listening to the sound of flowing water in the Milky Way can't hide Chang 'e's cry. Are you also like Daiyu, burying flowers in osmanthus trees? Where did the moon go tonight? How many people are crying this Mid-Autumn Festival?
