Don’t say that the perch is worthy of praise. When the west wind blows, will the season eagle return?

Who calls Qian, with red scarf and green sleeves, to find the hero's tears!
"Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower"
Translation
The immortals of the past have flown away on the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The Yellow Crane never came back. For thousands of years, he only saw white clouds.
The trees of Hanyang are clearly visible under the sunlight, and there is a green grass covering the Parrot Island.
It is getting late, looking into the distance, where is my hometown? All I could see in front of me was a mist covering the river, bringing me a deep sense of melancholy.

2. "The Journey Is Difficult"
Translation
The famous wine in the gold cup costs ten thousand per bucket; the exquisite dishes in the jade plate cost ten thousand money.
I felt so depressed that I couldn't eat anymore. I drew my sword and looked around, but I felt really confused.
If you want to cross the Yellow River, ice and snow have blocked the river; if you want to climb Taihang, the mountains have already been closed by the heavy wind and snow.
Like Lu Shang fishing in the stream, waiting for his comeback; and like Yi Yin dreaming, he took a boat and passed by the sun.
How difficult it is to travel in this world; how difficult it is; there are so many wrong roads in front of us, should I go north or south?
I believe that one day, I will be able to ride on the strong wind and break through thousands of miles of waves; hang my cloud sails high and move forward bravely in the sea!

3. "Shui Long Yin Climbs to the Jiankang Pavilion for Enjoying the Heart"
Translation
The vast southern autumn sky is desolate and desolate for thousands of miles, and the river flows with the sky , autumn is even more boundless. Looking at the mountains in the distance only arouses my sorrow and resentment at the decline of my country, and the mountains are like hostas and snails on a woman's head. The setting sun slants down on this building, and among the mournful cries of geese flying far away in the sky, there is also me, a homesick wanderer living in the south of the Yangtze River. I looked at the sword and slapped it all over the railings upstairs, but no one understood my intention to climb up the stairs.
Not to mention that chopped sea bass can be cooked into delicious dishes. The west wind is blowing everywhere. I wonder if Zhang Jiying has come back? Xu Si, who only bought land and real estate for himself, should be afraid of being ashamed to meet the talented Liu Bei. It's a pity that time passes like water. I am really worried about the country in the wind and rain. Just like Huan Wen said, the trees have grown so big! Who can ask those singing girls in red and green to wipe away the tears of the hero's frustration for me!

"It's like a villain (Liu Bei calls himself) who wants to sleep on a hundred-foot-high floor or a king on the ground, but he can't do anything between getting up and down the bed."
