Poetry about Jiangnan
"Bodhisattva Man" [Tang Dynasty] Wei Zhuang Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but tourists only like Jiangnan. The spring water is as green as the sky, and the boat is painted and sleeping while listening to the rain.
The person by the fireside is like the moon, with frost and snow on his bright wrist. Don't return to your hometown before you are old. Returning to your hometown requires breaking your heart.
The flowers and rain in Stone City lean on the river tower, and the waves are on the Mulan boat. ——Feng Yansi
On the banks of grass and smoke, who lives deep in the willows. ——Feng Yansi
Thousands of doors are suspected of falling stars, and Jiumo does not know how high the bright moon is.
The lights are scattered and the rain is lonely.
Spring is quiet, and the spring rain does not need to be clear. There are no unknown lights in the sky, and the world is as ruthless as the moon. Villages and cities learn Xiao Sheng. ——Liu Chenweng's "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River"
"Seeing Off Guests in Guazhou" [Yuan Dynasty] Gong Shitai
The mountains at Guazhou Ferry are like waves, and the water at the Yangtze Bridge is like clouds. The lotuses on the bank are all red and the willows are all green.
"Pan Taihu" [Song Dynasty] Yang Bei
The fishing boat carries wine and the sun goes with it, and a flute is played deep among the reed flowers. The wind in the west of the lake disperses the cloud shadows, and the water and sky reflect the green glass.
"Tongjiang" [Qing Dynasty] Yuan Mei
The spring water of Tongjiang River is as green as oil, and the green mountains on both sides see off guest boats. There are more and more beautiful scenery and fewer dangers. The mountains are clearly close to Hangzhou.
"The wind from Huai City arrives in Yangzhou at dusk" [Qing Dynasty] Li E
The west wind sends the boat off, and the sail is filled with the jasper flow of the Qing Huai River. Three hundred miles disappeared in one day, and the reeds and snow blew to Hangou.
Suzhou is good, the wine shops are half Zhulou. Chiri's fragrant bottles are open beside the sill, the bright moonlight illuminates the streets, and delicacies are displayed in the elegant seats. ——Shen Chaochu's "Remembering the South of the Yangtze River"
Suzhou
Green waves flow from east to west, water from north to south, and three hundred and ninety cities with red fences. ——Bai Juyi
Three hundred painted bridges reflect the river city. ——[Ming Dynasty] Gao Qi
Yangzhou
"Looking at the Tide" [Song Dynasty] Liu Yong
The southeast is beautiful, the three Wu cities, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, there are hundreds of thousands of homes. Clouds and trees surround the dike and sand, raging waves roll up frost and snow, and the sky is boundless. The city is lined with pearls, the households are full of luxury, and the luxury is high.
The stacked lakes are clear and beautiful, with three autumn osmanthus and ten miles of lotus. The Qiang pipe clears the sky, the watermelon song fills the night, and the old lotus babies play and fish. Thousands of horsemen with high teeth, riding drunk, listening to the drums, chanting and admiring the haze. There will be good scenery in the future, go back to Fengchi to praise it.
The night market lights shine on the blue clouds, and there are many red-sleeved customers in high-rise buildings. Nowadays, unlike usual times, I can still hear the sound of singing and singing. ——[Tang Dynasty] Wang Jian
The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is not as good as rolling up the bead curtain. ——Du Mu (Zhi)
The ten-mile-long street is connected to the market, and you can watch the gods on the Yueming Bridge. Life is only suitable for death in Yangzhou, where the Zen wisdom mountain is bright and the tomb field is beautiful.
——Zhang Churu
