As the days get longer, the embroidery workers can embroider more colorful silk threads, and the six rhythms of the blowpipe have already moved the jiahui. The embankment seems to be waiting for the twelfth lunar month to pass quickly so that the willow trees will stretch out their branches and sprout new buds, and the mountains will break through the cold so that the plum blossoms can bloom.

Half of the repair scales are gone, no one can hide them.

I want to tie it to the end, but I know what I can do despite my diligence.

The children were forced not to sleep, but stayed together all night and had fun.

Don’t sing the rooster in the morning, even more drums are afraid of Tim Lao.

There won’t be a year next year, and I’m afraid that my worries will be wasted.

You can still be proud of your efforts. ?

The children struggled hard without sleeping and stayed with each other laughing and making noise at night. Morning rooster, please don't crow, the drums urging you are frightening.

I sat there for a long time and the lanterns were falling. I stood up and saw that the Big Dipper had tilted sideways. Will there be no New Year's Eve next year? I'm just afraid that my worries will go wrong again. Try to cherish this night, and the young man can still boast of his spirit.
