Jade Thin fragrance is strong, sandalwood is deep and snow is scattered. This year, it is too late to explore the plum blossoms. In Jianglou and Chu Pavilion, the clouds are free and the water is far away. The clear day is forever, with the green curtain rolled low.
When guests arrive, they are filled with wine. The singing is endless, the water flow and the clouds are broken. South branches can be planted, but must be pruned frequently. Don't just wait in the west building and call the Qiang Guan several times.
2. Translation
The jade-colored white plum blossoms are thin and elegant, while the light red plum blossoms of high-grade sandalwood plums are rich in color in comparison. They exude an astonishing aroma. The white snow is melting, and the beautiful scenery of plum blossom branches covered with snow is gone. It's really a pity. I didn't expect that it's too late to appreciate the plum blossoms.
In the southern sky of Chudi on the bank of the Yangtze River, there are countless pavilions and pavilions standing here. The plum blossoms are in full bloom here, and it is a good place to enjoy plum blossoms. Looking up at the white clouds floating leisurely against the blue sky, looking down at the ripples of blue waves passing by the river.
The cool day is so long. The plum explorers, intoxicated by the fragrance of plum blossoms, lean on the railings and look into the distance, and roll up the low-hanging emerald green curtains with their hands.
The literati who are full of poetry and lofty ideals sing loudly over wine. Facing the plum blossoms that symbolize elegance and integrity and are intoxicating, the crowd is excited and sings to their heart's content. You sing and I sing. This song fills the world. Loud and melodious, with white clouds at the top and running water at the bottom.
Pointing to the plum tree in front of me: The flowers on the sunny branches in the south are very cute. They can be climbed and broken for planting. You need to take advantage of them to bloom and not die, so you can quickly cut them off, or put hairpins on them. Or put a few cases on your temples to keep the sparse silhouettes of the plum blossoms and the cold fragrance of the plum blossoms around you as much as possible; don't wait until the petals fall off and become mud with the weather before lingering in melancholy.

The scenery in autumn is strange. The geese left Hengyang without paying attention. Sounds echoed from all sides. Thousands of miles away, the long smoke sets and the sun sets, solitary city closed.
A glass of dirty wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, but there is no plan to return home before it is too late. Qiang Guan is covered with frost all over the ground. When a man is sleepless, the general's hair turns gray and his husband weeps.
2. Translation
Seeing that autumn is here, the scenery of the northwest frontier fortress is naturally very different from that of the south of the Yangtze River. The wild geese overhead flew back to Hengyang in the south, with no intention of stopping at all. This situation can't help but arouse the homesickness of the border guards.
At dusk, the military horn blew, and the surrounding voices also rose up. There are mountains and mountains, the dusk is heavy, the sun is setting on the mountains, and the lonely city gate is tightly closed.
Drinking a glass of turbid wine makes me think of my relatives thousands of miles away. However, at present, the foreign troubles are not over, and the success will not be achieved until the success is achieved, so how can we give up halfway. The long sound of the Qiang flute came from the distance. The weather was cold and the military camp was already covered with frost.
It’s late at night and I still can’t sleep peacefully. My beard and hair have turned white in order to plan the military strategy. The border guards missed their loved ones and could not sleep for a long time. They shed tears many times in their dreams.

Standing in the dangerous building, the wind is blowing softly, looking at the spring sorrow, the sky is gloomy. In the lingering light of the grass-colored smoke, there is no word to say who will be silent.
I want to get drunk and sing to the wine, but the music is still tasteless. The belt becomes wider and wider, but I don't regret it anymore. I feel haggard because of the beauty.
2. Translation
I stood on a high building, with the thin spring breeze blowing in my face, looking far into the distance, endless sorrow filled the sky gloomily. The setting sun was shining slantingly and the grass was misty. Who could understand my intention of leaning silently on the railing?
I wanted to indulge myself and get drunk. When I raised my wine glass during the singing, I felt that I was trying to have fun but it was not interesting. I don't feel any regret as I lose weight day by day. I am willing to be haggard for you.

Jian Wai Hu Chuan When I collected Jibei, my clothes were filled with tears when I first heard it.
But seeing where his wife is worried, she is filled with poems and books and is filled with joy.
You have to indulge in drinking while singing in the daytime. Youth is a companion for returning home.
That is, pass through Wu Gorge from Ba Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang.
2. Translation
The news of the recapture of Jibei suddenly spread outside Jianmen. When I first heard about it, I was extremely happy and shed tears on my clothes.
Looking back at my wife and children, my worries immediately dissipated, and I casually packed up my poems and books, feeling ecstatic.
The sun shines brightly, I sing loudly and drink wine, and the bright spring light accompanies me back to my hometown.
Quickly set off from Zhengba Gorge through Wu Gorge. I passed through Xiangyang and then went straight to Luoyang.

Lying in white Chinese New Year clothes and a white door It’s so rare and unexpected.
The red building looks cold across the rain, and the bead foil floating lantern returns alone.
The long journey should be sad in the late spring, and the sky is still full of dreams.
How can the jade seals and seals be reached? A wild goose flies in the clouds thousands of miles away.
2. Translation
In early spring, I was lying on the bed wearing white casual clothes. The sparse scene in front of me made me extremely sentimental.
The red building where you lived became even more desolate in the rain. I went back in silence and let the bead curtain swing in the wind.
It’s sad to be traveling far away but it’s already late spring. I can only meet you in my late night dreams.
My infatuation cannot be conveyed to you. The geese are passing a message to me under the spring clouds.
