1, "One Night Mountain Temple"
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Original text:
The tall buildings of the temple on the mountain are really high, like a hundred feet. People upstairs are like a hand that can pick off the stars in the sky.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
Translation:
The high-rise building of the temple on the mountain is really high, it seems to be 100 feet. People upstairs seem to be able to pick off the stars in the sky with one hand.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
2. "Walking on the beach, there is no wave in the blue sea."
Song Dynasty: Yan Shu
Original text:
The sea is crystal clear, and there is a road to Yaotai. On second thought, I went to see Feitian for the first time. I couldn't think of it then, but I can't think of it now. I can't find it in a place with high mountains and high waters. ?
Dust falls on the mat, and smoke locks the fragrant boudoir. How can I give you a written letter? Climbing up the stairs and looking into the distance, rain and raindrops spilled, and the sky was near dusk.
Translation:
There is no danger in the blue sea and waves, and there is a road to Yaotai. On second thought, I should fly together. I thought at that time, I didn't care about the right person. Nowadays, the mountains are high and the water is far away.
Dust-fallen mats and smoke lock the boudoir. How to write a letter to you? Climbing up the building, looking into the distance, the rain is raining on the phoenix tree, which is near dusk.
3. "Partridges want to go upstairs to avoid worry."
Song Dynasty: Xin Qiji
If you want to go upstairs to avoid sadness, sadness will follow me upstairs. After several changes, many relatives and friends have become old friends.
Go find Hugh. Go find Hugh. Don't all adults have to be blocked? The origin of clouds is uncertain. They are as free as clouds.
Translation:
My heart wanted to see the beautiful scenery upstairs to avoid sadness, but sadness followed me up the tall building. I have gone through several places, and the mountains and rivers have changed beyond recognition. Many relatives and friends have lost their heads.
Go home and retire. Go home and retire. Does everyone have to go to the frontier fortress to make meritorious deeds? There is no fixed place for floating clouds. How free I am to come and go, just as I like floating clouds.
4. Guan Shanyue
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds.
The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass.
At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai.
This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive.
The garrison soldier looked at the remote border town, and his hometown could not help but look sad.
The soldier's wife looked at the tower and lamented when she would see her relatives far away.
Translation:
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds. The mighty long wind blew through Yumen Pass where Wan Li and the soldiers were stationed.
In those days, Han soldiers pointed to Deng Bai Mountain Road, and Tubo coveted a large area of rivers and mountains in Qinghai.
This is the place where wars have been fought for generations, and few soldiers who fought can survive. Garrison soldiers looked at the border town from a distance, and they couldn't help looking sad when they missed their hometown. At this time, the wives of the soldiers are in the tall building, sighing when they can see their relatives in the distance.
5. The tallest building in Baidicheng
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Original text:
The tip of the city is full of sadness, and it is an independent and ethereal flying building.
Clouds cover the gorge, dragons and tigers lie down, and Jiang Qingri swims with cats.
The west branch of Fusang is against the broken stone, and the weak water flows with the east shadow.
Those who sigh the world with sticks and quinoa burst back into white hair with blood and tears.
Translation:
Steep mountain cities, rugged paths, and flags inserted at the head of the city are all secretly worried. In such a place, a towering tall building stands alone, looming.
Clouds and haze block the continuous canyons, and the mountains are like dragons and tigers lying still; The sun shines on the clear river, and the waves are like floating giants. The branches at the western end of Fusang are far away from the broken rocks in the gorge, and the shadow of weak water from the east is very close to the flowing water of the Yangtze River. Who is the man who sighs the world with crutches? Blood and tears floated in the air, just as I looked back with white hair.
