Day 231 in the illusion
A gentle rain fell. I played a game of Go under the tree.
I played with both hands. My right hand won.
At night, seven stars blazed like fire, seemingly falling into the Eastern Sea.

Day 362
Frost descended. I warmed wine. At night, the seven stars appeared as before.
Day 363
The weather was clear. I painted an orchid in front of the courtyard, lifelike.
At night, the seven stars were 20 meters above the ground, large and red, moving frequently, emitting light, signaling war.
Day 364
Light snow fell. I painted snow-covered pines under the pavilion in the illusion in Oct, Ji-Mao.
At night, the seven stars rose, signaling troop movements.
