Five Willows
(Two Pairs of Couplets●Eleven Words of Quatrain)


Shallowly sing the clear lyrics, you enjoy Three Su's poetry
Colorful to paint the chrysanthemums on the fence, moon points to Five Willows' bosom bright
Stormy earth, millennium red blood writes heroic
Honour or disgrace life, write down illustrious names in ten thousand ages of history

2) Mr. Five Willows, he is Tao Yuanming (352 - 427, poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) .

五柳
(對聯體●十一絕)


淺唱清詞，三蘇曲賦卿心賞
彩描籬菊，五柳襟懷月指明
風雲塵世，碧血千年書壯烈
榮辱人生，汗青萬古載英名
