[83] [A word is all endowed, and four rhymes are all completed] These two lines are about oneself. It means that my one word is all laid out and becomes four rhymes. A word, humble words. A word is a humble word. The author's poem "Tengwang Pavilion" *** eight lines: "Tengwang High Pavilion near the river islet, Peiyu song luan strike song and dance. Painted building towards the flying Nanpu clouds, Zhu Curtain twilight rolled the rain in the western mountains. Idle clouds and pools of shadow day long, things change and stars shift a few degrees of autumn. Where is the emperor's son now? The Yangtze River outside the threshold of the empty flow."
[84] [Please sprinkle Pan Jiang, each pouring Lu Hai Yun'er] means that the guests are invited to do their best to write good works like Pan Yue and Lu Ji. Sprinkle and pour each corresponds to the river and the sea, meaning to exhaust one's talent to write poems and compositions. Pan Yue and Lu Ji were both from the Jin Dynasty. Zhong Rong's "Poetry" from Liang of the Southern Dynasty said, "Lu is as talented as the sea, and Pan is as talented as the river". Yun'er is an auxiliary word used at the end of a sentence to indicate that the statement has been completed.
