There are the following poems:
1. Pasturing cattle with bamboo and stone
Huang Tingjian [Song Dynasty]
The wild times are small and majestic, and the secluded places depend on the green.
A Tong is three feet tall, which is a good defense for this old man.
Shi Wu loves it very much, so don't send an ox to sharpen his horns.
an ox can sharpen its horns, but an ox fights against my bamboo.
translation
There is a small strange stone in the countryside, with a clump of bamboos beside it, which is tall and green.
A little shepherd boy was riding on the back of an old cow with a three-foot whip, enjoying himself.
I love this strange stone, little shepherd boy. Don't let the cows grind their horns on it.
I can tolerate grinding corners, but don't let the cows fight and damage the green bamboo.
2. Chilechuan
Poems of Yuefu [Southern and Northern Dynasties]
Chilechuan, under the Yinshan Mountain.
the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers four fields.
The sky is grey and wild, and the wind blows grass and cattle and sheep are low.
Translation
The vast Chile Plain is at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
The sky is like a big dome tent, which covers all directions of the grassland.
The sky is blue and the grassland is boundless. The wind blew and the grass lay low, revealing many cattle and sheep that had been hidden in the grass.
3. Cattle herding map
Tian Xi [Song Dynasty]
Fighting and harassing all over Zhongzhou, pulling millet carts like water.
when the peace is as picturesque as a picture, the flute will be as short as autumn.
Translation
The land of Zhongzhou is invaded by war everywhere, and the ox carts carrying rations are like running water.
When will it be as peaceful as in the painting? In autumn, the shepherd boy plays the flute to graze in Yuan Ye.
4. On behalf of Niu Yan
Liu Cha [Tang Dynasty]
He was thirsty for drinking ying water and hungry for Wu Menyue.
if gold can be planted, my strength is inexhaustible.
translation
Drink dirty water when you are thirsty, and gasp at the moon when you are hungry.
if gold can also be planted like grain, then my motivation to cultivate land will not fail.
5. Ode to Shi Niu
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
This stone looks like an ox, and it is buried for thousands of years.
the wind blows all over the body, and the rain makes the whole body sweat.
The grass is hard to get into Qi Mei, and the shepherd boy won't look back.
naturally, there is no rope on the nose, and the world is a fence.
translation
This stone is very tall and looks like an ox. It has been lying in a high mountain for thousands of years.
when the strong wind blows it, the whole body hair does not move, and when the heavy rain hits it, it looks like sweat.
The grass is flush with the eyebrows, so it can't eat, and the shepherd boy doesn't look back when he pulls his horn.
since there is no rope on its nose, heaven and earth do not need to be circled at night as a cowshed.
