Content of the work

A magpie bridge is boundless, and a thousand sounds of Yu Pei pass Lingling.

There are old guests who leave, and it's not as good as a river drum star to look down.

Translation of Works

A small bridge built by Fairy Magpie lies across the vast Milky Way.

Listen to the Weaver Girl's Pei Huan Ding Dong and watch her slowly cross the bridge. My parting with Iraqis will not stop year after year, and I look up in disappointment, only to see that the Altair is still shining and the brilliance is unchanged forever; My sadness is becoming less and less obvious.

Xu Ning lived around 813 AD, Tang Xianzong Yuanhe Middle School. Unknown word, Muzhou people. Tang Fenshui Baishan (now Baishan Village, Fenshui Town, Tonglu County) was born. With Shi Jianwu Tongli, day * * * chanting. When I first visited Chang 'an, I didn't become famous because I didn't want to show off my talents and didn't pay homage to the dignitaries. Before returning to the south, he wrote a poem to bid farewell to assistant minister Han Yu: "Yuan Bai is the only one I have ever met in my life, and no one in the world is dressed again. If you don't want to cry at Zhumen first, the white-headed wanderer will return in vain. " He criticized the social phenomenon that only fame was valued at that time, and real talents were not valued. Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, tasted the peony in Kaiyuan Temple in Hangzhou, and saw a peony poem by Xu Ning, which was greatly appreciated. He invited him to drink with him and returned drunk. Later, he competed with Zhang Hu, who was quite famous for his poetry, but he was ashamed of himself. Bai Juyi awarded the peony poem with the best title, which was rewarded by Bai Juyi, and Yuan Zhen was also rewarded, so the name of the poem vibrated between Yuan and He. To Chang 'an, he was not good at paying homage. He only visited the gate of Han Yu, but he did not become famous. Will return, with the poem Han Yu, there is a sentence of "If you want to leave Zhumen tears first, the white-headed wanderer will return in vain". In the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, he was promoted to Jinshi, and the official was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance.

then I went back to Li, and the wine of Youyou Poetry ended. (The Chronicle of Tang Poetry quoted the county pavilion as saying: "The official is the assistant minister", which is totally different. This is based on the poems written by Ning, a gifted scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and the Whole Tang Poetry is recorded in one volume.
