2:22 The lyrics sang of family reunion during the festive season. Combining modern tone with chinese nursery rhymes, a blending of old and new like what they did in Shu's event.

Song title: Battle of Wang/枯枰竞 (a game on a withered chessboard) Lyrics in simplified Chinese and English: The voice since around 1:23 故人若归来 If the old known ones return 花开自犹在 The flowers will bloom still 魂落九霄外 But why are you gone and lost so long 为何故人迟未还 Even when I'm tortured with sorrow so deep that my soul is far beyond the nine tiers of the high sky. *"故人" is literally "old-known people", can be friends, family members, loved ones, historical people etc. The point is this person is long not seen. 2:23 桂花香,月儿圆,兄弟姐妹来团圆 With the aroma of osmanthus and the light of the round, full moon, all the siblings are gathering together here 弟弟哭,妹妹笑,酸甜苦辣熬一灶 The little bro cries, the little sis laughs (or smiles), all the tastes of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy are in this one meal 你一筷,我一碗,姐姐睡了留一盘/留弟盼 You take a bite, I take a bowl, leave a plate (of food) along cuz the elder sis is asleep/the little bro is waiting and missing (the elder sis) cuz she is asleep.

@@please_be_an_operator_soon actually osmanthus is an often-used motive in ancient Chinese literature cuz it's seasoning and the shadow on the moon looks like an osmanthus tree for ancient Chinese. But another factor for its fame is, it's really a good cooking material for like wines, rice cakes and porridges 😂

It's a potential sad pun on the last line since the elder sister Jie (姐/节 are pronounced similarly)is fucking dead.
