Writing in a Village South of the Capital In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side. I do not know today where the pink face has gone; In vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-bloom.(by XYC)
《题都城南庄》 崔护 去年今日此门中， 人面桃花相映红。 人面不知何处去， 桃花依旧笑春风。
At the door this time last year, Competing are the peaches and the girl’s beauty. The peach blossoms are still smiling in the breeze, Gone forever is the charming face.
