Cold Food Festival (Han Hong)

Spring city—everywhere the blossoms fly;

Cold Food Festival—the east wind bends the palace willows.

At dusk, candles are passed through the Han palace halls;

The light smoke drifts into the homes of the five great lords.

寒食 (韓翃)

春城無一作「風何」處不飛一作「開」花,寒食東風御柳斜。

日暮一作「一夜」漢宮傳蠟燭,輕一作「青」煙散入五侯家。
