1, Summer quatrains
Song Dynasty: Li Qingzhao
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 born a hero and die a ghost. To this day, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to drag out an ignoble existence and returned to Jiangdong.
2, "and Guo main book, the second"
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
Heze Wednesday spring, Liangping Autumn Festival. The swimming breath without dew condensation is a beautiful day for Gaosu. Yi Feng, in the distance is the amazing Ling Censong.
Fragrant chrysanthemums are in full bloom in Lin Yao, pine trees and Guanyan line. With this beautiful appearance, it is outstanding for first frost. It takes a thousand years to care for your lover.
If you can't get the exhibition, you will be tired for a long month.
Translation:
The rain is smooth all spring, and the cool breeze in Qiu Lai is bleak. Dewdrops are cloudless, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the scenery is clear. Yixiu Mountain soars into the sky, and its benefits are amazing from a distance. Lin Zenghui's fragrant chrysanthemums bloom, and pines and cypresses line up on the rocks. Songju is down-to-earth and beautiful, while first frost stands upright and is a hero. I remember the hermit with a cup, and I have been observing Gaojie for thousands of years. Although my ambition has not been realized, I feel sultry and empty in autumn and October.
3, "Night Thinking of the Central Plains"
Song Dynasty: Liu Guo
How long is Miao Road in the Central Plains? Cultural relics are covered with clothes. There is only the blood and tears of an orphan minister, and there is no miracle called tianhao.
Guanhe jathyapple frost heavy, palace spring shortage. You Geng is lonely and loyal, thinking of reporting to the Lord, and inserting a firm but gentle night light.
Translation:
The Central Plains is so far away, how long is the road! Precious cultural relics and clothes of the Song Dynasty were plundered to the north by the enemy. I am the only lonely minister who shed blood and tears. No wonder the hero knocked at the palace door and shouted loudly. The mountains and rivers in the Central Plains reflect heavy frost in Leng Yue, while the spring breeze in Bianjing Palace blows grass and citrus reticulata is desolate. And I still want to serve the emperor day and night with loneliness and loyalty, just like the firm but gentle that radiates dazzling light every night!
4. "Yan Jiangyue Farewell to Friends in the Post"
Song Dynasty: Deng Tong
The water is vast, and I hate the east wind at the expense of the British things in the world. I can't bear to see through the city among the remnants of Wu Hua, a Shu bird. Bronze sparrow Chun Qing, golden autumn tears, who hates this snow? Open firm but gentle, bullfight empty recognition of Qi Jie. That letter Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life traveling south to Wan Li. It was a ship. I want to leave a drunken eye for Ou Meng, and I want to look at the clouds carefully. Win by swallowing the column, go back to the flag, and be crowned through the ages. Stay awake with others. Qinhuai should be a lonely moon.
Translation:
In the face of the Yangtze River, which is connected by water and sky, I really hate God for refusing to help and let the Yuan Army defeat us. Spring has come, cuckoos are singing, and the sunset is slanting on the flowers, but how can I bear to see Nanjing destroyed by the Yuan Army? I don't know who can retaliate when I think that our women and precious cultural relics have been plundered by the enemy and even I myself have become a prisoner. How much I regret. Unfortunately, my sword thinks I'm a hero.
Recall that not long ago, in order to fight against the Yuan army, I once crossed the sea and raised the anti-Yuan banner in order to get rid of the close surveillance of the enemy. Although I was later defeated and captured, I was determined to fight bravely and tenaciously with the enemy to maintain lofty national integrity, just as Lin Xiangru denounced the king of Qin and Zhuge Liang scared Sima Yi away. Thinking like this, I can't sleep anymore. It's so quiet around, only the lonely moon on Qinhuai River is accompanying me silently.
5. Peach Blossom Temple Song
Ming Dynasty: Tang Yin
Others laugh at me, and I laugh at others who can't see through it.
There is no tomb of Hao Jie in Wuling, no wine, no flowers and no hoes.
Translation:
Everyone laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at them for being superficial. I still remember that there were no flowers or wine in front of the tomb of the heroes of the Five Tombs, and now they have all been hoed into fields.
