Text
[on left screen] At the foot of Mount Ohu, the rice and millet grow fat; / pigs are in their pens, and chickens in their coops. / The door to the house has been left ajar. / The Autumn Festival is over, and in the evening / mulberry leaves cast long shadows. / To every household, tipsy men return, holding each other up.
