The poems that express condolences during the Ghost Festival are as follows:

1. During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and pedestrians on the road want to die. May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance.

2. Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season. I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees.

3. The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand of Zhugong. The endless falling trees rustled, and the endless Yangtze River rolled in.

4. During the winter solstice in Handan Posthouse, shadows in front of lanterns hugging the knees accompany me. I think that when I sit at home late at night, I should talk about people traveling far away.

5. There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, which is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown.

6. The full moon flies into the mirror, and returns to the heart to fold the sword. Turning around and walking far away, climbing osmanthus and looking up to the sky. There is frost and snow on the waterway, and feathers are visible on the forest habitat. At this moment, looking at the white rabbit, I want to count the hair.

7. Ten rounds of frost shadows turn around the courtyard, and this evening, people are alone in the corner. Su'e may not be without regrets, but the jade toad is cold and the sweet-scented osmanthus is lonely.
