Poems of Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian, Dan Tao and Wang Rong often drank, sang, played chess and chatted in a bamboo forest in Yin Shan. They are cold and elegant. Therefore, it is called "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". Their poem is:

1, look at Guihong, swing five strings. I am very happy that the secrets of nature can be understood! Ji Kang in Wei and Jin Dynasties —— Sending People to Beijing

Meaning: While watching Hongyan return to the south, I played the banjo with my hand. Everything is carefree. I am very happy to know the secrets of nature!

2. Life is suitable for distant Beijing, which turns to the north. -Wei and Jin Xiang embroidery "Thinking of Old Fu"

I was ordered to go to Beijing, and then turned around and headed north. Go boating on the Yellow River and pass by Yang Shan's former residence.

3. Looking at Yin Shu, it's dark at night. ? The cold chicken misses the dawn, flapping its wings and blowing a long sound. -Wei and Jin Dynasties and "Poems of Beijiang Hotel"

The moon was covered by clouds, and the dark night was dark. The chicken crowing in the middle of the night thought it was going to dawn, so it flapped its wings and made a long crow.

4, can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano. Thin curtains look at the bright moon, and the breeze blows on the chest. -Ruan Ji in Wei and Jin Dynasties, "Eighty-two Love Poems, Part One"

Meaning: I can't sleep in the middle of the night because of sadness, so I get up and play the piano. The bright moonlight shone through the thin curtains, and the breeze blew my skirt.

5, boarding Kyushu, leisurely parting. Lonely birds fly northwest, leaving animals southeast. -Ruan Ji in Wei and Jin Dynasties, "Love Poems Eighty-two Seventeen"

Meaning: Looking at the distance, I saw the long river dividing the land into pieces of wilderness. A tired bird flew to the northwest alone, but I came to the southeast alone like a lonely beast.
