Leap Mid-Autumn Month


The osmanthus color is particularly round during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is clear and fresh in the remaining days.

Because of the joy of admiring the first menstrual month, the poet will not sigh about the passing year.

All phenomena gather light and become more majestic, and the four dark clouds gather the night to help Chanjuan.

The scales and clouds clear the outline of the heart, and I can take advantage of the excitement to write poems and chants.
