The atmosphere in this first couplet is that the sun and the moon are For Ming, the combination of couplets is very clever, but the word "Ming" seems to also imply the meaning of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the second couplet must not be offensive, otherwise it may be jailed. Jian Jin smiled slightly and casually recited a second line.
