"Spring River Flower Moon Night"
The tide of the Spring River is connected to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is born together.
With the waves of thousands of miles, where the spring river has no moon!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers are like thunderbolts.
The frost in the air did not feel flying, and the white sand on the ting could not be seen.
Jiang Tian was free of fibrous dust, and the lonely moon wheel was in the sky.
Who first saw the moon on the riverbank? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year?
Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year.
I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
The white clouds went to a leisurely place, and qingfeng pu was overwhelmed with sorrow.
Who's flat boat tonight? Where is Acacia Mingyue Building?
Poor upstairs moon wandering, should be illuminated away from the people makeup mirror table.
The jade curtain could not be rolled up, and the anvil was whisked back.
At this time, they do not hear each other, and they are willing to shine month by month.
The long flying of the wild geese is not enough, and the ichthyosaurs dive into the water.
Last night's idle pond dream fell flowers, poor spring half did not return home.
The river flows in the spring, and the river pool falls and the moon slopes to the west.
The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the jieshi Xiaoxiang infinite road.
I don't know how many people returned by the moon, and the falling moon shook the river tree.
