The seven rhymed poems about the Double Ninth Festival during retirement and old age are as follows:
1. Taking some time out from the busy schedule to talk about autumn, sparse branches and willows may add sorrow. Momo wears sleeves to climb to a high place, and wild chrysanthemums pull her clothes to stir up excitement. When you buy wine on credit, you should write a poem about Liang Jixiao, and let the waves rock the boat. The ruthless years make people grow old, so they go to the small building dressed lightly.
2. Wearing light clothes and going up to the small building, Tian Weng showed off his talents with all his strength. Thousands of hectares of fertile farmland are covered with paper and paintings, and thousands of basins of sweat are washed away. The love for singing autumn is not over this year, but will the brocade weaving ambition be fulfilled next spring? The Yangtze River is rolling back to the east. I dare to persuade time to flow with me.
3. Dare to persuade time to flow with me, and love Yu Gonglou for the rest of my life. Talking about the classics for nine days to eliminate the remaining days, practicing shooting and betting on the golden autumn. The cakes with the title of Chuanchuan are old, but the hats are dropped and there is no reason to complain. A mound of fertile water grows cabbage, which is a seasonal offering of cuckoo red.
4. It is a time when the cuckoos are red and the sky is bright, and the mountains and rivers are competing for tall buildings. Moisten your throat and walk away with a song, bow your head and think twice before hanging up your stick. In the morning, you can see the waves gushing in the Dongting, and in the evening, you can see the fishing fire and the tranquility in the water. The land is full of outstanding people, the Chinese show shines brightly, and the stars shine brightly in Kyushu.
5. The shining stars illuminate Kyushu, and thousands of sects return to the sea to trace their origins. The red clouds favor talents, and the purple lightning adds virtue. People are like yellow flowers, the scenery is happy, and the old age brings gray hair and leisure time. After singing and whistling at dusk, there is no way to avoid the late autumn of the Double Ninth Festival.
