The street is long and the fireworks are numerous. You turn on the light to look back.
The short pavilion is short, the world is rolling, I sigh again.
Who finally broke the string, made the flowers fall on the shoulders, and became confused.
So many beauties are haggard, so many lovesicknesses are broken, leaving only blood stained with the fragrance of ink and weeping in the graves.
The boundless earth can be destroyed with a single sword, where is the bustling music and singing. Leaning against the clouds, thousands of pots hide my loneliness, even if others laugh at me in vain.
Let him be pure and turbid in everything, and he will be reincarnated for you with a smile. I send you a song, no matter who gathers or disperses at the end of the song.

Mountains and rivers are handed over, and I smile for you. I don't know how to remember each other, and I don't know how to return.
When all the floating flowers and waves are gone, I will be alone with you. --------Excerpted from Liaozhai [With additions and deletions]
