The Case of the Green Jade - Yuan Xi

Xin Qiji?

The east wind releases thousands of flowers at night, and even blows down the stars like rain. The BMWs and carvings are all over the road. The phoenix xiao sound, jade pot light turn, a night of fish and dragon dance. Moth snow willow gold strands, smiling and dark fragrance to go. I have been searching for him for thousands of years, but when I look back, he is in the place where the lights go out.

TranslationThe east wind blew open the Lantern Festival night fire tree silver flowers, lanterns brilliant, like a thousand trees blossom. The ceremonial flowers falling from the sky were like a shower of stars. Luxurious carriages traveled through the fragrant streets. The melodious sound of phoenix xiao echoed around, the jade pot-like bright moon gradually turned to the west, and a night of dancing fish lanterns and dragon lanterns went on without stopping, and there was a lot of laughter and clamor. Beauty head are wearing gorgeous ornaments, laughing with the crowd walked past, only the fragrance of the clothes are still in the dark scattered. I was looking for her in the crowd a thousand times, turned back, but inadvertently found her in the light scattered place.
