Horse Poems

The horse poem is as follows:

1. This horse is an extraordinary horse, and the star in the room is originally a star. Knocking the thin bones forward still has the sound of copper. ——Li He, Tang Dynasty, "Twenty-three Horse Poems·Part 4"

2. The red rabbit has no one to use it, so it must be ridden by Lu Bu. I heard that Guo dismounted and restrained the barbarians. ——Li He, Tang Dynasty, "Eight of Twenty-three Horse Poems"

Translation: No one can use the horse red rabbit, only Lu Bu can ride it. I heard that even a barbarian can be driven by Dwarf Guo if he dismounts.

3. As soon as the clouds and mist descend from the sky, the sky is empty and the first twelve days are free. Who can pity the thin bones today? The sunset on the beach has shadows like mountains. ——Song Dynasty·Gong Kai's "Skinny Horse Picture"

Translation: I think that when this horse fell from the sky, its extraordinary spirit made the emperor's horse look bleak. Today, it is standing on the beach. Under the setting sun, its figure looks like a barren mountain. Who will pity it?

4. The golden saddle, the green saddle, the white jade saddle, the long whip, the purple wild wandering plate. The dust on the east road will be extinguished in the morning, and the sun will not end until the source of the river is reached in the evening. Every time the sweat and blood travels to the ground, the ground is bitter, and the hoof injuries are not afraid of the long yin and cold. You can drink from the Great Wall Grotto to repay the difficulty of traveling to Tianshan Mountain. ——Tang Dynasty·Wan Chu's "Cong Ma"

Translation: The gold-decorated bridle is blue and white, and the saddle is as white as jade. The owner is wandering up and down the avenue in the suburbs of Beijing with a long whip. It took a long time for the dust raised by running on the road to dissipate in the morning, and the sun had not yet set when we arrived at the source of the Yellow River in the evening. The sweaty horse often follows its owner on arduous battlefields. Even if the horse's hoof is injured, it is not afraid of the bitter cold in the border areas. I hope you can drink all the spring caves full of the Great Wall in one go, even if you go through all the hardships and obstacles in the Tianshan Mountains.

5. The purple lion walks and hisses, turning over its jasper hooves. Reluctance to cross the current is like cherishing the brocade barrier and mud. The snow-white mountains are far away, and the sea of ??yellow clouds is garrisoned. I'll go thousands of miles away with my whip, and I'll be able to read about my spring boudoir. ——"Purple Horse" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

Translation: The maroon horse galloped and screamed, its jade-like hooves flying up and down. When it came to the river, it refused to cross the water, as if it was pitiful for the brocade barrier covering its body. Baixue garrison on the border with Tubo is so far away, and Huang Yunhai garrison is blurred. How can you covet the warmth of home when you are traveling thousands of miles away with a riding crop?
