Waiting verses

The waiting poems are as follows:

1. Bai Juyi's "Ying Chrysanthemum"

One night of new frost touches the tiles, and the bananas are newly broken and the lotus tops. Only the Oriental chrysanthemum is cold-resistant, and the golden millet is more clear at dawn.

Explanation: After a night of frost, the roof tiles became cold, and the frost lightly adhered to them, causing the banana leaves to be broken and the lotus leaves to tilt. However, the cold-resistant chrysanthemum is still blooming beside the east fence, and its stamens have just opened, adding a fresh fragrance to this morning.

2. "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei"

Wind and rain send spring home, and flying snow welcomes spring. There are already hundreds of feet of ice on the cliff, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches. Qiao doesn't fight for spring, she only reports that spring has come. When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, she smiled among the bushes.

Interpretation: Although spring has passed, the falling snow still brings spring. Even in the cold season, hundreds of icicles will form on the cliffs, but there are still beautiful flowers blooming. Although these flowers are very pretty, they do not take away the beauty of spring, they just silently report the news of spring. When the mountains and fields are full of flowers, plum blossoms will laugh among the flowers.

3. Li Shangyin's "Night Rain Sends to the North"

You asked about the return date but the time has not yet come, and the night rain in Bashan swelled the autumn pond. How can I cut off the candles from the west window and talk about the rainy night in Bashan?

Explanation: You asked me when I would go home, but I haven’t determined a specific date yet. It rains continuously at night in Bashan, and the rainwater has filled the autumn pools. When can we light candles and have a long talk together, telling each other how much we miss each other while listening to the rain in Bashan tonight?

4. Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Immortal·Xianyun Makes Clueless"

Xianyun makes tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and silver and Han are far away in darkness. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back! If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?

Interpretation: The light clouds in the sky change into various beautiful shapes, and the shooting stars streak across the night sky, conveying longing and sorrow. I quietly traveled across the distant Milky Way, and on this Chinese Valentine's Day day when we met, I could feel the deep love more deeply than those couples who appear harmonious on the surface but actually seem to be inseparable.

My tenderness is as endless as flowing water, and the promise of reunion is as illusory and uncertain as a dream. When we were parting, I couldn't bear to go to see the magpie bridge, because I knew that if our feelings were sincere and unchanging until death, there would be no need to pursue that kind of short-term happiness.
