1, "Spring Watch" Tang Du Fu
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate. The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Translation:
Autumn in Beijing is just like mountains and rivers, and the urban areas are overgrown with weeds in spring. I am worried and sad, but I will cry when I see the flowers bloom. It pains me to leave my family. The war has not stopped in March, and the letters from home are precious and can be worth thousands of dollars. I only scratch my head when I am depressed and upset, so that my white hair is sparse and I can't insert it.

Spring Hope is a poem written by Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. The first four sentences of this poem describe the miserable and dilapidated scene of Chang 'an in spring, with ups and downs. In the last four sentences, the poet's feelings of caring for relatives and state affairs are full of bitterness and indignation.
The rhyme of the whole poem is rigorous. In the couplet, "where the petals have fallen like tears" should be the sigh of the first couplet, "and the lonely bird has sung her grief" should be the worry of homesickness in the couplet, while in the last couplet, it emphasizes that the sorrow is deep and draws the white out, and the antithesis is delicate and the voice is tragic, which fully shows the poet's patriotic feelings.
2. Song Qingzhao of "Summer quatrains"
Live and be a man among men; Die and become the soul in the soul. Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.
Translation:
You should be a hero in life and a ghost in death. Until now, people still miss Xiang Yu because he would rather die than go back to Jiangdong.

Summer quatrains is a five-character quatrains written by Li Qingzhao, a poetess in Song Dynasty. This is an ancient poem that satirizes the present and expresses grief and indignation. The first two sentences of the poem are surprising and straightforward, suggesting that people "live like an outstanding person", make contributions to the country and the court, and "die" as a "ghost hero" to be worthy of being a hero with indomitable spirit.
Deep patriotic feelings burst out and shocked people. In the last two sentences, the author satirizes the shameless behavior of those in power in the Southern Song Dynasty by praising Xiang Yu's tragic behavior. There are only 20 short words in the whole poem, but three allusions are used in succession, which can be described as meticulous words and full of sense of justice between the lines.
