The Jade Case Yuan Xi
(Song) Xin Qiji
One night's east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers, And blows down stars in showers.
BMW carved cars filled the road with incense, phoenix and Xiao moved, pots of light turned, and fish and dragons danced all night.
Moth, snow, willow, golden thread, laughter and fragrance go away.
Looking for him in the crowd, I suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the fire was dim.
Translation:
At night, the east wind blows the lights of the Lantern Festival like a thousand trees in bloom, which makes the fireworks look like a falling meteor. Gorgeous carriage fragrance permeated on the road. The music played by the phoenix flute fluttered and intertwined with the flowing moonlight in the crowd. Throughout the night, one after another, ichthyosaur lanterns were flying. Beautiful women are wearing bright ornaments on their heads and colorful clothes, shaking in the crowd. They smiled and passed by with a faint fragrance. I looked for her a thousand times, but I couldn't find her. When I turned around, I saw her standing in the scattered lights.
Yuan Xi, the birth inspector
(Song) Ouyang Xiu
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the flower market lights are as bright as the day.
At the end of the month, it is about dusk.
The lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the moonlight and the lights are still the same as last year.
No longer saw last year's old friend, tears of tears were wet to the clothes.
Translation:
At the midnight snack last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. Make an appointment with a beautiful woman at the time of the willow tip on the moon and after dusk.
At midnight snack this year, the moonlight and lights are still bright. But I didn't see the beauty of last year, and the tears of acacia soaked through the sleeves of her spring shirt.
Lantern Festival at Beijing
(Yuan) Yuan Haowen
Dressed up in fine clothes visitors have their fill of entertaining everywhere, In high streets and back lanes laughter and kidding of children are quite clear.
I am nothing but a gown, and I am also in the laughter of tourists.
Translation:
During the Lantern Festival, women can be seen everywhere wearing costumes and beautiful makeup to see the lights; Children are having fun in the street. What should I do as a scholar in a simple gown? Also enjoy the lantern quiz in the atmosphere of laughter and laughter of tourists.
Bianjing Yuanxi
(Ming) Li Mengyang
Zhongshan ruzi leans on new makeup, and Zheng Nv Yanji is good at playing alone.
Sing the Xian Wang Chun Yuefu together, and the moon outside the golden beam bridge is like frost.
Translation:
The actors from Zhongshan are brightly dressed, while the women from Zheng Yanlai have their own superb skills.
They came to Bianjing from different places. They all sang the scripts written by King Xian of Zhou. They sang and sang. From day to night, the moon came out and the silver light poured down, which seemed to spread a layer of self-frost on the land of Jinliang Bridge. The lights on earth and the bright moon in the sky complement each other, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.
Yuanxiao
(Ming) Tang Yin
A moon without lights is not entertaining, and a moon without lights is not spring.
Towards everywhere spring comes as seen here with lady fair, Over bright moonlit night flashing lanterns set off the moon as pure silver.
All over the street, Zhu Cui swims around the village girls, singing and competing with the social gods.
If you don't show your respect and smile, how can you get rid of this beautiful moment?
Translation:
Usually, I write about the city. But this "Yuanxiao" is based on the countryside. The countryside reflected by the light and the moon is beautiful, and the village girls reflected by the light and the moon are even more beautiful. They are full of youth and happiness. Laugh heartily. The artistic conception of Yuanxiao is beautiful and touching.
