Original text:
The phoenix fan is tilted,
Starbridge flies back to magpie.
Strive to bid farewell to the world forever,
In exchange for an annual visit.
Translation:
Separate Luan Fan, walk into the tent,
The magpies on the long bridge have finished eating.
How do we say goodbye to death in the world,
In exchange for meeting once a year?

The first couplet says: "The phoenix fan is tilted, and the star bridge flies across the magpie." "Luan Fan" corresponds to "Star Bridge", "Oblique Branch" corresponds to "Crossing" and "Phoenix" corresponds to "Magpie Flying Back", although it is not rigorous. Speculate grandeur and extravagance in one sentence, imagine the stars turning to fight and the magpies turning to the bridge in one sentence.
