The seven verses of the Double Ninth Festival 1

The deep love is like endless water, and the bright moon comes to the guest by the window. A poem connects two petals, and the fate of three lives is bound to last for thousands of years.

The yellow flowers are dotted with wine, empty and sad, and looking back at the past makes things seem natural. Can you rely on the autumn wind to convey words? Who in the world can be obsessed with immortals?

Qilu verse 2 on Double Ninth Festival

A sentimental petal is pillowed beside the inkstone, and the lovesickness is full of words in front of me. The autumn wind makes farewell poems like wine, and the pearls and jade are difficult to connect with the moon like the years

The sound of cold dew dripping in the sky is lonely, and the chrysanthemums in the heart are pure and pure. Let Yi leave the good night and the dream, and become a floating cloud and a yellow crane fairy.

Qilu Verse 3 of the Double Ninth Festival

To whom is the autumn wind heading? Distant dreams are vaguely close to our eyes. The lone wild goose flies south and travels in reverse. The setting sun sighs about the fleeting years

False reputations are not considered, it is not like this, great achievements will not be accidental. A song from the end of the world chants a dream far away, how can one become an immortal if only a poem is left?
