Song Dynasty·Xin Qiji·"The Green Jade Case·Yuan Xi"
At night, the east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees down, and the stars are like rain. BMW's carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and fish and dragons danced all night. E'er's snowy willows are covered with golden threads, and the laughter is full of hidden fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he was there, in a dimly lit place.
The first half of this poem describes the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the city is full of lights and the scene of carnival; the lower part still writes about the joy of "New Year's Eve" and the chance meeting of a pair of lovers on the street. The scene is very wonderful.
During the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival has become a romantic festival for men and women to date. On this day, women go out to the streets and play all night long, and men and women mix among them, making it very lively. And this also provides many young men and women with opportunities to meet. "Looking back suddenly, there was that person, in the dimly lit place." The gentleness and tenderness in it, as well as the unexpected encounter, are intoxicating.
