From: "Chang'e"
Poetry: The candle shadows on the mica screen are deep, and the long river gradually sets and the dawn stars sink. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be filled with blue sea and blue sky every night.
Translation: The mica screen is covered with a deep shadow, which further highlights the emptiness and coldness of the room. The Milky Way gradually moves westward to the ground, dotted with the few morning stars in the empty sky, as if silently accompanying it. There is a lonely moon. Chang'e must also regret that she secretly took the elixir and even lived in the moon palace on New Year's Eve, facing the blue sea and sky, and it was difficult to relieve her loneliness and coldness.
