Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: Being a guest together in Jianghan, every time we meet, we are drunk. After parting, like clouds, the years are like flowing water for ten years. Although we laughed the same when we met today, it's a pity that people are old and covered with spots. Why don't I go with my old friend? Because there are beautiful autumn mountains in Huaishang.
2. When the autumn moon is full, a thousand nights in towns and villages. People doubt that it is a dream meeting to meet Jiangnan in the capital. The autumn wind disturbs the branches, and the cold cries in the grass. Tourists wandering outside should have been drunk and stayed with each other for fear that the bell would ring. —— From the Tang Dynasty: Dai Shulun's "Guest Night and Old Friends/Village Inn for Old Friends"
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: the autumn moon is round, and the night in the city is deep. You and I met in Jiangnan, and I doubt it was a dream meeting. The evening breeze shook the branches and alarmed the birds and magpies living there. Autumn grass covered with frost and dew, accompanied by sad cold insects. You and I are in a foreign land, so we should drink to relieve our worries, and let you drink for a long time to remember the past, only worried that the bell will ring at dawn.
We met here after ten years' separation. Where is the horse's head? Sunset is ten thousand peaks. -From the Tang Dynasty: Quan Deyu's Farewell to those who have been in the mountains for a long time
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: Ten years ago, we separated and met in a long journey. Where are you going to get rid of the horse? Look at the mountains and valleys in the sunset.
