About Hitobito Munus Primarium: Instructio Luminaria
Textus Libri: Hitobito est instructio luminaria facta ad diem festum lanternarum in urbe Taipei anno 2023 celebratum. Structura ex littera Sinensi hominis inspirationem capit, duobus membris formata quae se invicem sustinent. Duo aditus angusti visitatores intro ducunt, ubi semitae in unum spatium maius coeunt. Machina proiectrix in medio posita imaginem motam in solum proicit. Compages tubi ferrei manu curvati albo colore picta est et baculis harundineis contextis unius centimetri latitudinis vestita. Instructio 9,8 metra lata, 7,8 metra alta, et 3,5 metra alta metitur.
