Encounter with Feng in Chang'an
Author Wei Yingwu Dynasty and Tang Dynasty
Guests come from the east, and the Baling rain is on their clothes.
Asking the guest why he came, he picked the mountain to buy an axe.
The flowers are blooming, and the swallows are blooming with new milk.
We said goodbye yesterday and now it is spring, and there are a few strands of hair on the temples.
Rhyme Translation
You came back to Chang'an from the east, and your clothes were stained with the spring rain in Baling.
Excuse me, why are you here? You said you bought an ax to open up mountains and land.
Under the spring rain, hundreds of flowers are blooming in the rain, and swallows are newly hatched in the gentle breeze.
We said goodbye last year and now spring is here again. How many strands of silver have been added to your temples?
