Don't sing Jiangnan ancient tune. Resentment is hard to recruit, and the Chu River is gloomy. Lavender swallow milk, dark rain plum yellow, afternoon mirror bath blue curtain.

Explanation:

Five-color silk thread is tied to the wrist of the lover, and spell symbols written in seal script are worn on the head to ward off evil spirits and drive away epidemics. She slept soundly in the sky-blue tulle tent. Banquet under the flower tree in the courtyard, gently shake the color fan in front of the window, sing and drink, and the beautiful scenery of the past is vivid. At that time, I wrote poems on her pomegranate skirt. Today, the pomegranate outside the window has withered and the joy has passed. Time flies, the tender cattail grass on the sandbar is swaying with the wind, like a piece of smoke.

Please don't sing Jiangnan ancient songs. How can the sad sad songs comfort Qu Zi's grievances? Swallows gave birth to Xiaoyan in the warm spring breeze, and plums gradually turned yellow in the drizzle. At noon, the sun is strong. Does the beauty bathe vanilla in the curtain? I think she will definitely go back to Xiulou, cut off the calamus and soak it in wine, feeling sorry for herself. Disappointed, I looked up at the sky and watched a crescent moon rise in Ran Ran. The faint moonlight accompanied me to this corner of the sky.
