Phoenix wood
Wang Zexiu [Qing Dynasty]
Danshan Katayu is ghostly under the feathers, and the illusion is a false branch Bihanqi. The scarlet color is far away from the official road at night, and the thick shade is dense and the pavilion is low.
Xiao Xiao wind watched the instrument dance, and the winged flowers flew to send the horseshoe. After the disaster, the remaining Kirito was lost, leaving him wei town Akagi West.

Yu Xin (Southern and Northern Dynasties)
Chang'an has a narrow slope.
The Golden Cave is luxurious.
Even the cup is persuaded to get on the horse.
Throw the car around.
Crimson lotus seeds are colorful.
Fine brocade phoenix flower.
That can learn to drink wine.
Nowhere like Luan Ba.
