Wan Li Road, Yangguan, no one has returned.
Only the geese by the river fly south in autumn.

Yangguan's old country, far away in Wan Li, has been looking forward to it year after year, but it has not returned to the south so far. Only geese that go south along the Yellow River can fly south freely in autumn.
2. Singing geese in South and Central China
Wei Chengqing, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty (works by Kiko)
Wan Li people go south, and geese fly north in spring.
I don't know when, but I must go back with you.
Vernacular translation
I was exiled to the barren south thousands of miles away. In the warm spring in bloom, I saw the geese flying in journey to the south. I don't know when I can go back to the north with you.
3, selling charcoal Weng
Author Bai Juyi? the Tang Dynasty
An old man selling charcoal cuts wood and burns charcoal in the mountains in the south all year round.
His face was covered with dust, which was the color of smoke burning, his temples were gray, and his ten fingers were burnt black.
What is the money for selling charcoal for? Buy clothes, buy food in your mouth.
Pity that he is wearing thin clothes, but he is worried that charcoal can't be sold, hoping it will be colder.
At night, it snowed a foot thick outside the city. Early in the morning, the old man drove a charcoal wheel to the market.
Cows are tired and people are hungry, but the sun has risen very high. They are resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market.
Who is that proud man riding on two horses? It was the eunuchs in the palace and eunuchs who did it.
The eunuch, with documents in his hand and the emperor's orders in his mouth, shouted at the petrified palace.
A load of charcoal, more than 1000 kilograms, eunuch attendants to drive away, the old man is helpless, but there is no way.
Half a horse's red yarn is a silk, which is filled with charcoal to the cow's head.
Vernacular translation
An old man who sells charcoal cuts wood and burns charcoal in Nanshan all the year round. His face was covered with dust and smoke, his temples were gray, and his ten fingers were blackened by charcoal. What is the money from selling charcoal for? Buy clothes to wear and food to eat in your mouth. It's a pity that he only wears thin clothes, but he is worried that charcoal can't be sold, hoping it will be colder.
It snowed a foot thick outside the city at night. In the morning, the old man ran over the frozen wheel tracks in a charcoal car and hurried to the market. Cattle are tired and people are hungry, but the sun has risen very high and rested in the mud outside the south gate of the market. Who is the man riding two horses? They are eunuchs in the palace, eunuchs.
The eunuch held the official document in his hand, but said it was the emperor's order and shouted to pull the cow to the palace. A load of charcoal, 1000 kilograms, was insisted by eunuch officers. The old man is reluctant to give up, but he is helpless. Those people hung half a horse's red yarn and a silk on the cow's head as the price of charcoal.
