Boiled cow’s milk in casein sauce, and imitated goat’s fat in a jade bowl
The imperial palace is majestic and praised, and tea is bestowed with grace
Zi Yong had a reputation, but Hung chien didn’t know it
Although it is clear about that, Fang Si does not agree with it
Giant materials are really difficult, and good craftsmen pursue them with their lives
When reading Shi Fu Da Bai, I will not be willing to give up
