Excerpt:

"Li Weng Duiyun·Yi Dong" East"

The author Li Yu? Dynasty late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty

The sky is opposite to the earth, and the rain is opposite to the wind. Continent versus sky. Mountain flowers face the sea trees, and the red sun faces the sky. Thunder is faint and foggy. The sun is facing the sky. The wind is high, the moon is white in autumn, and the sunset is red when it rains. The Ox Girl is around the two stars and the river, participating in the Shang Dynasty and fighting against the west and the east. In October, at the fortress border, the rustling frost startled the garrison; in the middle of winter, on the river, it was filled with snow and cold fish.

The river faces Han, green faces red. Yu Bo versus Thunder God. The smoke tower faces the snow cave, and the moon palace faces the heavenly palace. The clouds are cloudy and the sun is dim. The wax clogs are against the fishing tent. The stars passing through the sky are like arrows, and the moon spitting out souls is like a bow. The travelers in the post office encounter the plum rain, and the people in the pond and pavilion enjoy the wind of lotus flowers. In front of Maodian Village, the bright moon falls in the forest and the chickens sing rhyme; on Banqiao Road, the green frost locks the tracks of the horses.

Mountains face the sea, and China faces the Song Dynasty. The Four Mountains versus the Three Lords. The palace flowers are against the forbidden willow, and the wild geese are against the river dragon. Qingshu Palace, Guanghan Palace. Pick up the green and the title will be red. Zhuang Zhou's dream turned into a butterfly, and Lu Wangzhao flew into a bear. When the wind stops in the north, it is fanned in the summer, while in the south the eaves are exposed to the sun and kept warm in the winter. The crane dances on the roof of the building, and the jade flute makes the red moon fade; on the phoenix platform, the purple flute blows off the beauty's wind.
