The nine sons of ten lamps, ten ambush lamps
These lamps, those lamps,
lamp officer I times unclear!
After listening to the White Snake Tale, the Red Woman and the Flower Girl jumped on the chessboard
Shi Lang Yan Hui puts his mother to visit, and then the Heavenly Maiden scatters the flowers
Scattering the flowers
