The Significance of Niu Langxing's Ancient Poems

Altair can be seen in the southeast of the Milky Way, and bright Vega can be seen in the west of the Milky Way.

The weaver girl is waving her long white hands, and the loom keeps ringing.

I didn't knit a piece of cloth all day, and tears rained down.

The Milky Way looks clear and shallow. How far apart are the two banks?

Although only separated by a galaxy, we can only look at each other with deep affection and silence.

Original text:

Distant Altair

Han Dynasty: Anonymous

Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl.

Skillful hands, make a loom.

There is no chapter all day, and tears are pouring down.

The river is clear and shallow, with many differences.

Between water and water, there are no words.
