Poetry for Chinese Valentine's Day

The Chinese Valentine's Day poems are as follows:

1. The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver and Han are far away in darkness. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can't help but look at the Magpie Bridge on the way home. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?

2. Tonight on Chinese Valentine's Day, watch the blue sky and the morning glory and the weaver girl crossing the river bridge. Every family begs for luck and looks at the autumn moon, wearing tens of thousands of red silk threads.

3. The autumn light of silver candles paints the screen coldly, and small fans flutter against the flowing fireflies. The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down to watch Altair and Vega.
