Poems about koi fish

1, Nanxiangzi Song Dynasty: God of Wealth

Wild geese fly south, and koi fish crosses the river frequently.

Tears, ink, silver hooks, writing lines.

Fallen geese fly south, and koi fish takes pains to cross the river. Tears and ink interweave between the lines.

2. He Xinlang Song Dynasty: Li Yong

Ask when koi fish will arrive.

I can't see the floor of the building, but I pity the grass in the drizzle.

When will koi fish come again? The walls of tall buildings are invisible, and I pity the vegetation in the drizzle and yellow rain.
