Excerpt Translation:
Man ages easily, yet Heaven remains ever young;
Year after year, the Double Ninth arrives.
Again, the Double Ninth — yellow flowers on the battlefield are especially fragrant.
Each year, the autumn wind blows strong,
Outshining the spring scenery;
Vast rivers and skies are filled with boundless frost.
