The autumn song: 长安一片月，万户捣衣声。秋风吹不尽，总是玉关情。何日平胡虏，良人罢远征？ 'One moon over all Chang'an, and in ten thousand homes the beat of washing clothes. The autumn wind blows on without end, all of it longing for the Jade Gate Pass. When will the raiders be put down, and my husband come home from the far campaign?' Women beat cloth on stones to make winter clothes for husbands at the frontier.
