Poems by Li Bai, Su Shi, Du Fu, Wang Wei and Bai Juyi (5 poems each)

Li Bai

"Sleeping in the Mountain Temple at Night"

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.

Don’t dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens.

"Wanglu Mountain Waterfall"

The incense burner in the sunshine produces purple smoke, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance.

Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.

"Looking at Tianmen Mountain"

Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flows eastwards to this point.

The green mountains on both sides of the strait face each other, and the lone sail is coming from the sun.

"Hearing the Flute in Luo City on a Spring Night"

The sound of someone's jade flute spreads out into the spring breeze and fills Luo City.

Hearing the broken willows in this nocturne, no one can forget the love of his hometown.

"Climbing the Phoenix Tower in Jinling"

The Phoenix travels on the Phoenix Tower, and the empty river flows freely when the Phoenix leaves the platform.

The flowers and plants of Wu Palace are buried in the secluded path, and the clothes of Jin Dynasty become ancient hills.

Beyond the blue sky half-fallen by the three mountains, Bailuzhou is divided into two waters.

The floating clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad.

Su Shi

"Huanxi Sand"

The sun is deep red and the fish are warm,

Even the green village is dark and the black is hiding in the evening.

Huang Tong and the old people gathered to watch Xu.

Although the elk are not accustomed to meeting people,

the ape does not need to call when it hears the drum.

Going home and picking mulberry trees.

"Ruan Lang Returns"

The green locust trees and tall willow trees swallow the new cicadas.

Xunfeng has just entered the string.

The water under the blue screen window is filled with smoke.

The sound of chess frightened me into sleeping in the daytime.

After the light rain, the lotus leaves turn.

The pomegranate flowers are about to bloom.

The delicate hand of the jade basin makes clear the spring.

The pearls are broken but round.

"Xing Xiangzi"

One leaf in the boat is light, but the two oars are powerful.

The water and sky are clear, and the shadows and waves are flat.

The fish turns over the algae, and the heron lights the smoke.

Crossing the sandy stream is fast, the frosty stream is cold, and the moon stream is bright.

The layers are like paintings, and the music is like a screen.

Back in the day, Xu Laoyan Ling.

Monarchs and ministers have a dream, and their names are empty now and in ancient times.

But the distant mountains are long, the clouds and mountains are chaotic, and the mountains are green at dawn.

"Linjiang Immortal"

Drinking in Dongpo at night and waking up drunk again,

It seems like it has been the third watch since I returned.

The boy's breath is thundering,

No one knocks on the door,

He leans against the tent and listens to the sound of the river.

I always regret that this body is not mine.

When will I forget about camp?

The wind is calm at night and the grain is flat,

The boat passed away from now on,

The river and the sea will leave the rest of my life.

"Business Operator"

The missing moon hanging on the sparse tung trees makes people's initial tranquility disappear.

Who sees lonely people coming and going alone, misty and lonely shadows.

When you start, you look back. There is no one to forgive you for your hatred.

I picked up all the cold branches and refused to live on them, and the lonely sandbank was cold.

Du Fu

"Spring Outlook"

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation.

I am moved to tears by the flowers, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.

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.

The letter sent was not delivered, but the troops did not stop.

"Wang Yue"

How about Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.

The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.

You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.

"Climbing Yueyang Tower"

In the past I heard about the water in Dongting, now I am going up to Yueyang Tower.

In the southeast corner of Wu and Chu, the universe floats day and night.

The soldiers and horses pass through the north of the mountain, and Pingxuan Tisi flows.
