1. Climbing Yueyang Tower
I once heard that Dongting Lake is now on Yueyang Tower.
The lake and the moon are in harmony with each other, and the surface of the pool is windless and the mirror is not polished.
Climbing the tower, there are people who are relaxed and happy, forget to drink wine in the wind and enjoy themselves.
2."Inscriptions on the Southern Village of the Capital"
Last year I met you in the flowers, and now another year has passed.
Don't laugh at the poor and the rich. How about becoming two dry bones?
Three hundred miles away, I heard this sound. This sound should only be in the sky.
In April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple began to bloom.
3 Lingyin Temple
Zhongli's family was originally a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. He fled to Lingyin to escape the chaos, so he lived in seclusion here.
I'm born with talent, and it's bound to be useful.
Cook sheep, slaughter cattle and make fun of each other. You must drink 300 cups at a time.
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will not stop drinking.
I'll sing a song for you, please listen to it for me.
Zhong Kui's bucket of wine is heard all over the world.
