Old Oil Lamp by Wang Yuliang

Old Oil Lamp

Wen/Wang Yuliang

There is a crooked handle on the desk in my study

Zi Lao Oil Lamp

The crooked handle of the bronze oil lamp

engraved with ten Chinese characters in block letters

The article knows what happened through the ages

My father told me

that it was my grandfather’s grandfather

handed down

grandpa’s grandfather accompanied the blue light

read the four books

The green light accompanied my grandfather

After reading the Five Classics

Grandpa’s grandfather and my grandfather

remembered< /p>

The article knows the success and failure of the article through the ages

I have successively obtained the fame

Later, my father

Not only did I remember those ten words

Also let me keep in mind

Poetry and book heirlooms, farming and reading companions for life

This bronze crooked handle old oil lamp

become our home

The bright light of culture passed on by sparks

I finished college under fluorescent light

This old oil lamp always sits up

I am humble on my desk

not lit

but still illuminating my mind

One Point Wenfeng Mountain Wenyuan
