Nian Nujiao (Bingwu Master Zheng’s birthday)
Song Dynasty: Liu Kezhuang
Forbidden to attend the banquet, he was forced to stay with the Duke and was not allowed to return to seek his first service. For thousands of years, the king and his ministers have had their fishes in water, no better than Uncle Yan Guangwen. The fire virtue is in the sky, and the guest star spends a night chatting with us. Ningbi comes back again, and we still belong to each other.
In the blink of an eye, there were many boasts and wild horses, and the game was overturned several times. Guests talk about Fengchi three times, and wash their ears with a song by the light of the lake. Bo Shi's spring is desolate, the nursery is cold, and the west wind chrysanthemum is broken. Year after year, gold and silver are always blooming.
The Moon over the Xijiang River
Song Dynasty: Liu Yong
Teachers and students are beautiful, and the fragrance makes me more affectionate. Anana is longer than and. Four into one.
Fortunately, since Canghuang didn’t pay for it, it took a lot of time to write new words. Pulled and pressed again several times. The word "treachery" centers on me.
Title of Sizhou Tower
Tang Dynasty: Xu Wei
Ten years ago things were leisurely, but they were reminded by the sound of bells in the morning and evening. The bright moon is like a teacher and a student but they are gone again.
The white clouds are like a guest who has gone and returned. The monks in the smoke cage and Rui Pavilion are quiet, and the wind blows at the empty window and the Buddha shines open.
Only the mountains in the south are still there, and the mountains are still on the high platform.
