Just left Vermilion Bird Gate, and now we’re at Yingtian Gate! Last time, we heard about the moon reflected in the water during a poetry-card show. This time, listen closely
Today’s poetry-card recommendations:
[Shocking!] A ten-thousand-character essay, “A Refutation of the Scandalous Rumors About Qinglian, Youhuang, and Chiying,” is racing across the poetry boards. Who is “Wild Wanderer of Duling”?
[Breaking!] A fortune was tossed away at Zuixian Tower, and the sun and moon met beneath a clear blue sky!
[Fun!] The poetry club at the Luoyang Guildhall is holding a live call-in. The skies of the High Tang are still dazzling today!
[Tears!] Behind every Anxi wool blanket from “Spring Beyond the Pass” is a heart waiting for its hero to come home!
And on the Vermilion Bird Avenue, in the dead of night, two forlorn shadows stretched longer and longer.
“In Chang’an, even the moon has a clearly marked price.”
In a summer courtyard, an old man sighed as he fanned himself with a medicinal herb fan:
“The sun and moon never meet, and yet they have no regrets. They meet in poetry.”
A friendly reminder from the Bureau of Astronomy:
· Register in advance to put on a “moon reflected in the water” show, to ensure the process is fair.
· For ghostwriting services, make sure you go to the Literary Wares Guild. Beware of scams.
· Spend wisely, and buy poet merchandise in moderation.
Words cannot express it all; the lingering charm endures. Tonight at the Hour of the Dog, the “moon reflected in the water” show will continue the splendor!
Theme: A cyberpunk facade, the soul of the High Tang, and a tribute to the great poets of the Tang Dynasty
Congratulations to the two great realist poets for shaking hands 🤝
