Mid-autumn nursery rhymes
The moon is bright when it comes out.
The moon is shining brightly.
Open the stairs to wash clothes.
The clothes were washed white.
Little people wear it.
moonlight
moonlight
Fill the basket
Take it into the house.
All light leaks
Father Liang Yue, come with me.
Father Liang Yue will go with me,
I went to Nanjing and bought a broom.
Shaving knife, cutting leeks,
Radish horn wins (banquet) night wine,
Don't eat today,
Tomorrow will be tomorrow.
