The ancient poems about the Chinese Valentine's Day are as follows:
1. "Chinese Valentine's Day"
Author: Yang Pu of the Song Dynasty
I don't know the meaning of morning glory If so, the Weaver Girl must be invited to play with the golden shuttle.
I beg for cleverness in the world every year, but I don’t know that there are already many cleverness in the world.
Translation: Before we met, I don’t know what Altair’s thoughts were. According to my imagination for him, he needed to invite Vega to come and get the golden shuttle for weaving cotton. Many blessings are given to the world every year, but we don’t know how many blessings there are in the world.
2. "Qixi Festival"
Author: Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
The mist in the sky and the moonlight in the sky are the same as the autumn of Han Dynasty.
How much joy and separation are combined in this night every year.
Translation: The crescent moon hangs in the sky, making the sky tonight look calm and clear. Since ancient times, the Autumn Festival has always happened at this moment. The joy of reunion and the sorrow of parting between the Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl are all merged into the night of Chinese Valentine's Day.
3. "Begging for Skills"?
Author: Lin Jie of the Tang Dynasty?
Look at the blue sky tonight on Chinese Valentine's Day, the morning glory and the weaver girl crossing the river bridge.
Every family begs for tricks and looks at the autumn moon, wearing tens of thousands of red silk threads.
Translation: On the evening of the Chinese Valentine's Day, looking at the blue sky, it is like seeing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting each other on the Magpie Bridge across the "Tianhe". Every household is watching the autumn moon and begging for skill (threading a needle on the moon), and there are tens of thousands of red threads crossing it.
4. "Autumn Evening"
Author: Du Mu
The cold autumn light of silver candles paints the screen, and the small light fan flutters at the flowing fireflies.
The night sky is as cool as water, lying down watching Altair and Vega.
Translation: On the autumn night, the candlelight illuminates the painting screen, and I hold a small fan in my hand to beat the fireflies. The stone steps are as cool as cold water at night, and you can sit quietly in the palace and gaze at the Cowherd and Vega.
5. "Chinese Valentine's Day in a Foreign Country"
Author: Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty
When Chinese Valentine's Day falls in a foreign country, the hotel is full of sorrow.
The woman wearing the needle is nowhere to be seen, and the building full of nostalgia for her homeland is empty.
The wind is beginning to reduce the heat, and the new moon is beginning to approach autumn.
Who can bear to peek into the river and ask about bullfighting from afar?
Translation: I am begging for luck in a foreign country, and when I look at the hotel where I am staying, I feel even more depressed. Far away from my hometown, I don't see my wife threading needles under the moonlight, and my heart is filled with loneliness, missing my hometown. The breeze blows away the heat of midsummer, the new moon is in the sky, and early autumn is approaching.
Who is secretly looking at the Milky Way while enduring the sadness in his heart? It's the Altair star in the distant sky.
