1. You and I have many bad feelings, many places of love, and they are as hot as fire. Take a piece of clay, knead you, and mold me. Break the two of us together, mix them with water, knead you again, and mold me. I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud. I live in the same quilt with you and die in the same coffin with you.

2. Take a piece of clay and make two clay figures, one is you and the other is me.

Break us together, mix them with water, squeeze one of you and another of me.

You are in me, and I am in you.

3. You and me, there are so many emotions; there are many emotions, as hot as fire;

Take a piece of clay, twist it to make you, and shape me into one,

Crush us both into pieces and mix them with water;

Twist another you and mold another me.

I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud;

You and I were born in the same quilt, and we died in the same coffin.

Different peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust.

Suddenly, the fragrance spreads all night long,

It spreads like incense throughout the universe.

4. Mountains and rivers come into my dreams frequently, and wind and rain cunningly care about me

5. Bright daylily flowers grow under the north hall.

The south wind blows his heart, shaking it for whom?

A loving mother leans on her door with love, but a wanderer’s journey is painful.

The sweet messages are sparse every day, and the sound and questions are blocked every day.

Looking up at the cloud forest, I feel ashamed to hear the words of the wise birds.

6. One of the Mo Xuan pictures

The brilliant day lily flowers grow under the north hall.

The south wind blows his heart, shaking it for whom?

A loving mother leans on her door with love, but a wanderer’s journey is painful.

The sweet messages are sparse every day, and the sound and questions are blocked every day.

Looking up at the cloud forest, I feel ashamed to hear the words of the wise birds. Famous poems and lines by Zhu Danxi, a famous medical scientist in the Yuan Dynasty
