"Visiting an Old Friend's Farm" by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty An old friend prepared chicken and rice and invited me to his farm. Green trees are clustered around the village, and green mountains are sloping outside the city. Open the window facing the field, drink wine and talk about mulberry and hemp. When the Double Ninth Festival comes, I will come back to eat chrysanthemums. "A Letter to Zhang Wu from Mount Lan in Autumn" by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty In the white clouds of the Northern Mountains, the hermit is contented. I try to climb up to a high place to see you, but my heart disappears with the flying geese. Sadness arises at dusk, and excitement starts in the autumn. Sometimes I see people returning to the village, walking on the sand and resting at the ferry. The trees on the horizon are like shepherd's purse, and the island by the river is like the moon. When will you bring wine so that we can get drunk together on Double Ninth Festival?

I know my brothers are climbing the mountain, but there is one less person wearing the dogwood branches. "View from Xuanwu Mountain on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month" by Lu Zhaolin of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the mountains and rivers on the ninth day of the ninth month, I yearn for home in the accumulated wind and smoke. Drinking golden flower wine together in a foreign land, and mourning together for the wild geese flying across the sky thousands of miles away.

"Climbing the Heights" by Du Fu, Tang Dynasty The wind is strong and the sky is high, the monkeys are howling sadly, the sand is clear and the white birds are flying back. The endless fallen leaves are rustling down, The endless Yangtze River is rolling in.

I have just stopped drinking. Climbing Mount Qi on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty The river is filled with autumn shadows and wild geese are starting to fly. I take a pot of wine with my guests to Cuiwei. It is hard to smile in this world, so I must wear my hair full of chrysanthemums when I return home. But I will get drunk to celebrate the festival, and there is no need to climb the mountain to regret the setting sun. It has been like this since ancient times, why should Niushan be the only one to get wet?

It’s the Double Ninth Festival again. The jade pillow and gauze curtain are chilly in the middle of the night. After dusk, I drink wine in the east garden, and my sleeves are filled with a faint fragrance. Don’t say that I am not heartbroken. The curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and I am thinner than the yellow flowers. "Treading on the Grass - Drinking at Zhuan'ang, Daihu Lake, Two Nights after the Mid-Autumn Festival of Gengxu" by Xin Qiji, Southern Song Dynasty Two nights after the Mid-Autumn Festival of Gengxu, I had a drink at the moonlit tower on Zhuan'ang Hill in Daihu Lake, in Qiuxiang's courtyard. People come and go smilingly. Who feels desolate when autumn comes? Song Yu was so sad back then. They shared the cups and plates and sang and danced casually. Ask him what's wrong?

The withered willows and the cicadas are filled with sorrow. Who would be willing to send me wine in white clothes? Fate determines one's entire life, while fortune determines one's current moment.
