烏衣巷 劉禹錫
By the Red Sparrow Bridge the wild flowers are spreading, 朱雀橋邊野草花，
At the very ends of the Black Robe Alley the sun is setting. 烏衣巷口夕陽斜。
Swallows used to nestle before the Wang and Xie’s manors, 舊時王謝堂前燕， But they are now flying in and out of the houses of moners. 飛入尋常百姓家。
燈會 the lantern fair
