1. "Spring Outlook" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is surrounded by spring vegetation.
The flowers shed tears when I feel grateful, and the birds are frightened when I hate others.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.
Translation: Chang'an fell, the country was shattered, and only the mountains and rivers remained; spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang'an city is lush with vegetation. Feeling sentimental about state affairs, I can't help but burst into tears, and the chirping of birds frightens my heart, which only adds to the sorrow and hatred of separation. The continuous war has continued until now. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in sadness, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I couldn't even insert the hairpin.
2. "Untitled·It's hard to say goodbye when we meet" by Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty
It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered.
Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they are dead, and wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up.
When you look into the mirror at dawn, you are worried about the clouds on your temples. When you sing at night, you should feel the cold moonlight.
There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting.
Translation: It is a rare opportunity to meet, and it is even more difficult to part ways. Moreover, the weather of late spring is about to end with the east wind, and the flowers have faded, which makes people even more sad. A spring silkworm spins a cocoon and spins out all its silk only when it dies. A candle burns out and turns to ashes before the tear-like wax drips dry.
When a woman dresses up and looks in the mirror in the morning, she is only worried that her lush, cloud-like hair will change color and her youthful appearance will disappear. If a man moans and cannot sleep at night, he must feel the cold moon encroaching upon him. The other party's residence is not far away from Penglai Mountain, but there is no way to get there and it is out of reach. I hope there will be a messenger like a blue bird who will diligently visit my lover for me.
3. "Wang Yue" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
How about Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.
The clouds grow in the chest, and the returning birds enter the canthus.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Translation: How majestic is Mount Tai? Walking out of Qilu, you can still see the green peak. The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful scenery, with mountains to the south and north separating morning and dusk.
Layers of white clouds wash away the chest
