Jibei and Xiangnan are in front of us, and the partridge is alone in the sound. The autumn wind at the estuary is listening to the bell ringing, and the guests from far away have little chance to return. This river in Gankun, Wan Li, has a hundred years of wind and a few days of double ninth festival. In the smoke, the trees are floating and the mountains on the city are healthy. Until last week, Zhendong, the shadow of the night light remained unfinished. -Li Dongyang's "Crossing the River in Nine Days" in the Ming Dynasty crossed the river in nine days

The autumn wind at the estuary is listening to the bell ringing, and the guests from far away have little chance to return.

This river in Gankun, Wan Li, has a hundred years of wind and a few days of double ninth festival.

In the smoke, the trees are floating and the mountains on the city are healthy.

Until last week, Zhendong, the shadow of the night light remained unfinished. See more poems by Li Dongyang >>
