2. Thoughts of Spring

The swallow grass is like blue silk, and the green branches of Qin mulberry are low. When you are pregnant and return home, it is the time when your concubine is heartbroken. ?If you don’t know the spring breeze, why should you enter the Luo curtain?

The hometown is full of enthusiasm for the new year, and the sky is alone with tears. When you grow old, you live among others, and when you return in spring, your guests come first. The mountains and apes are in the same day and dusk, and the rivers and willows are in the wind and smoke. Already like Changsha Fu, a few more years from now. ?

As the New Year approaches, I feel homesick even more intensely, and I can’t help but shed tears at the independent horizon. When I reach old age, I am relegated to a subordinate position, and the return of spring hurries ahead of me.
The apes and monkeys in the mountains spend the dusk with me, and the willows by the river share my sorrow. I have suffered the same fate as the Grand Tutor. How long will this life last?
5. Magpie stepping on the branches·Who said that leisurely love can be thrown away for a long time
Five Dynasties: Feng Yansi
Who said that leisurely love can be thrown away for a long time? Every time spring comes, the melancholy still remains. I often get sick and drink in front of flowers every day, but I dare not say that I look beautiful and thin in the mirror. There are willows on the Qingwu embankment by the river. I want to ask about new sorrows. Why do they happen every year? The wind on the independent bridge fills the sleeves, and the new moon people in the flat forest return.
Translation:
Who said that leisure and relaxation have been forgotten for too long? Every time New Year comes, my melancholy mood remains the same as before. In order to eliminate this kind of worry, I drank heavily in front of the flowers every day, let myself get drunk, and even lost weight. When I looked in the mirror, my appearance had changed. The grass along the river is luxuriant.
The banks of the river are shaded by willow trees. Seeing such beautiful scenery, I sadly thought to myself, why do new sorrows arise every year? I stood alone at the end of the small bridge, with the breeze blowing my sleeves. Only the rows of trees in the distance, shadowy in the dim moonlight, kept me company.
