Song - Jiang Baishi, "Poems and Sayings"

On the New Year's Eve, we are watching the Lotus Catching Boats, and the BMWs and the Fragrant Carriages are picking up the fallen tin.

The stormy night is deep and the people are dispersed, the lonely lamp still calls for the sale of soup yuan.

Translation:

The Lantern Festival's bustling atmosphere, lanterns hanging all over the place, is comparable to the flowers, the BMW car is a metaphor for a beautiful woman attacking a talented man, and the hairpin jewelry on the head of a beautiful woman is comparable to the lanterns.

At night all the people are gone, leaving only lonely lights and people selling dumplings.
