The sun is setting in the day when I am about to leave, and I sing my whip to the east and point to the end of the world. Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers.

4. "Untitled·It's hard to say goodbye when we meet" - Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered. The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.
When you look into the mirror at dawn, you are worried about the clouds on your temples. When you sing at night, you should feel the cold moonlight. There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting. (Pengshan's first work: Penglai)
Translation: The opportunity to meet is really rare, and it is even more difficult to part ways. Moreover, the late spring weather is about to be lifted by the east wind, and the flowers have faded, which makes people even more sad. A spring silkworm spins a cocoon and spins out all its silk only when it dies. A candle burns out and turns to ashes before the tear-like wax drips dry.
When a woman dresses up and looks in the mirror in the morning, she is only worried that her lush, cloud-like hair will change color and her youthful appearance will disappear. If a man moans and cannot sleep at night, he must feel the cold moon encroaching upon him. The other party's residence is not far away from Penglai Mountain, but there is no way to get there and it is out of reach. I hope there will be a messenger like a blue bird who will diligently visit my lover for me.
5. "A Happy Rain on a Spring Night" - Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen. Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.
The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire. Look at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.
Translation: Good rain seems to choose the right time to fall in the spring when all things emerge. With the gentle breeze, it quietly enters the night. Finely and densely, it nourishes all things on the earth. Thick dark clouds cover the fields and paths, and little lights flicker on the fishing boats on the river. Look at the dewy flowers again tomorrow morning, Chengdu will be full of flowers.
