Today's winter solstice
Zhou Qianzhuang laughed. The water flow hole sighed.
Jing shift demeanor change. Day and day swing.
The frost crane. Kyaukra with cloudy eagles.
The long river knots. Layers of ice like jade shores.
Mourn the ancient face. Sadly, sadly.
Hurry the season is over. Persecution gathers and disperses.
