He Xinju's Poetry

Author: Miracle in Tang Dynasty

Don't think that public servants are talents, build a golden balcony.

The ground leads to the East Pavilion, and the door opens in front of the West Park.

Don't rush across the halberd of the world of mortals, just drag beads and shoes to pay homage.

You should come here on a clear and frosty night when the moon is bright.

Interpretation: Don't think that only princes have this ability. There are more talented people than Huang Jintai. The land purchased includes the East Pavilion and the front side of the East Pavilion, and the door of the house faces the West Garden. I didn't shy away from my yearning for high-ranking officials, but only brought strategic guests to dinner. I want to meet the bright and frosty night and skillfully lead musicians and singers to the banquet.
