1. "Farewell in the Mountains"
Tang Dynasty - Wang Wei
Let's see each other off in the mountains, the sunset covers the firewood.
The spring grass will be green next year, and the king and grandson will never return.
Translation: I saw off my friend in the deep mountains, and the sunset left the firewood gate ajar. The spring grass will produce new green next year. My friend, can you return it?
2. "Send Yuan Er Envoy to Anxi"
Tang Dynasty - Wang Wei
The morning rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guesthouses are green and willow-colored.
I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west.
Translation: The light rain in the early morning moistened the dust on the ground in Weicheng. The air was fresh and the hotel was greener. I sincerely advise my friend to drink another glass of wine. It will be difficult to meet old relatives when you leave Yangguan to the west.
3. "Farewell to Prince Li of Zizhou"
Tang Dynasty - Wang Wei
Ten thousand valleys have towering trees, and thousands of mountains ring with cuckoos.
It rains all night in the mountains, and there are hundreds of springs under the trees.
Han women lose cloth, and Ba people sue for taro fields.
Wen Weng turned over professors and did not dare to rely on sages.
Translation: Ancient trees tower into the sky in thousands of valleys, and cuckoos sing in the depths of thousands of mountains. The spring rain in the mountains didn't stop all night, and hundreds of springs flowed from the tops of the trees. Han women worked hard to weave and pay taxes, while the Ba people filed lawsuits to fight for land. I hope you will carry forward the political achievements of Wen Weng and work hard to live up to the achievements of the forefathers.
4. "Farewell"
Tang Dynasty-Wang Wei
Dismounted from his horse to drink your wine, and asked you where you were.
You are dissatisfied with your words, so you return to the south mountain frontier.
But don’t ask again, when the white clouds are endless.
Translation: Please get off your horse and have a glass of wine. Dare you ask your friend where you are going? You said that because you were unhappy with your life, you returned to your hometown and lived in seclusion near Zhongnan Mountain. Just go ahead, I don't need to ask anymore, look at the white clouds floating endlessly.
5. "Send Qi Wu off and Return Home"
Tang Dynasty - Wang Wei
There are no hermits in the Holy Dynasty, and all the heroic spirits have returned.
So the guests from Dongshan were not allowed to visit Caiwei.
Now that you are far away from the king’s gate, who is saying that my way is wrong?
I spent the cold food in Jianghuai and sewed spring clothes in Jingluo.
Putting wine on the long road, you are of the same mind and against me.
The osmanthus is floating on the road, and the thorns are blowing soon.
The distant trees lead travelers, and the rays of light are falling on the isolated village.
If my plan is not suitable, don’t say that I have few close friends.
Translation:
In the political Qingming era, there were absolutely no hidden people, and talented people came out one after another to serve the government. Even you, a hermit in the mountains and forests like Xie An, no longer follow the example of Boyi Shuqi in picking weeds. If you fail the exam and fail to wait for the imperial edict, then it is bad luck. Who can say that my way is wrong? During the cold food season last year, you were passing through the Jianghuai River, and it has been a year since you stayed in Jingluo and sewed spring clothes.
We set up a farewell party with wine outside Chang'an City again. Our close friends are now separated from me again. You are about to drive the boat back south, and you will be able to open the firewood door of your house in a few days. The trees in the distant mountains cover your figure, and the afterglow of the setting sun makes the lonely city colorful.
It is purely a coincidence that you are not hired for the time being. Don't feel sorry for yourself because you think you have few close friends!
