"Water Fairy Night Rain"
Yuan·Xu Zaisi
The sound of autumn leaves, the sound of bananas, the sound of sadness,
Three Return to the dream after the third update.
The lanterns are off, the chess has not been finished, and I sigh that the new harvest will be flooded and left behind.
Ten years have passed, and the worries of the two elders in Jiangnan are all in their hearts.
The autumn rain outside the window aroused the sorrow in his heart. Xu Zaisi could not sleep at night on this autumn rainy night.
The sound of falling leaves on the sycamore trees seems to remind people that autumn is coming, and the raindrops hitting the banana leaves seem to constantly add sadness to people's hearts. I managed to fall asleep at the third watch, but woke up again at the third watch, unable to even have a good dream.
I deeply lament that I am a stranger in a foreign country, and I have only dreamed of it for ten years, and my fame has not been achieved; and my parents stay at home, and they have not been able to go back to serve and fulfill their filial piety. All these worries come to mind, making people full of thoughts and emotions.
"The Night Rain Sends to the North"
Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty
You asked about the return date but the date has not yet been determined, and the night rain in Bashan swelled the autumn pond.
Why should I cut off the candles from the west window and talk about the rainy night in Bashan?
The poet Li Shangyin of the late Tang Dynasty lived in the foreign land of Bashu and wrote a lyrical seven-character quatrain to his wife (or friend) in Chang'an. This is the poet's reply letter to the other party.
You ask me when I will go back, but I haven’t set a date yet. At this moment, the night rain in Bashan is pouring down, and the rainwater has filled the autumn river ponds.
When will I be able to return to my hometown and have a heart-to-heart talk while cutting candles under the west window? Then I will tell you how lonely I am as a guest in Bashan tonight and listen to the continuous rain at night, and how much I miss you!
