Coagulating his mind and thinking deeply
strong to wield a writing brush
didn’t laugh at him, an old poet was sleepless in the evening
at his desk, the jade orchid was strongly fragrant
Called his friend to take a seat with enthusiasm
finally a good thing had been achieved
the spring revised an article
red wine in the glasses
played a forfeit game of the drinkers
In the house chanting
the zither rhyme played the remaining music
the charming girl joyful to sing and dance beautifully
a romantic and lonely flower was a little tacky
In the idle door, piled up green
mist and clouds suffused
the Bandit Chief had a tender heart for the fair sex
his reverie with blind passion
all creatures in the universe are living
