Selected works of Ci

Xijiang moon (lantern)

Scattered not because of the spring rain, boast what false east wind. The screen window is a little natural red. It's hard to plant. You can't find Greasy Powder if you are gorgeous, but you can't make a bee if you don't have fragrance. In the painting hall. Spring dream of jade people.

TA Sha hang (lantern)

To relieve one's sorrow can add to one's happiness. Some good things come first. Deep in the painting hall is enchanting, and red in the red sarong. It's hard to stay if you are gorgeous, but how to find if you have no roots. I can't bear to say goodbye. The jade man once said in his ear that flowers have faith, but no one has.
