3. "Shang Li Yong" - Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
The roc rose with the wind in one day and swayed up to 90,000 miles.
If the wind stops and comes down, it can still blow away the water.
Everyone in the world sneered when they saw my extraordinary tune and heard my eloquent words.
Xuan's father is still afraid of future generations, but his husband cannot be young.
Translation: The roc rose from the wind in one day and soared to a height of ninety thousand miles. If it stops when the wind breaks, its power can be as strong as blowing away the water in the sea. People in the world see that I am fond of making strange remarks, and they all sneer after hearing my big words.

The spring dance in front of Bai Yutang is blown evenly by the east wind. Bees and butterflies swarmed around them. How many times have the water passed away? Is it necessary to commit suicide?
Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he pleases. The laughter of Shaohua has no roots at all. The good wind carries me to the blue clouds with its power.
Translation: In front of the White Jade Hall, the spring breeze blows gently, and catkins are dancing all over the sky. The dance is light and graceful, and the rhythm is even and moderate. A swarm of bees and butterflies are flying around, together with the willow flowers, they are painted into the fragrance spectrum. Did it ever disappear with the water? How could he fall into dust? Thousands of threads, no matter how they come together and disperse, and come together now and then, they remain unchanged and support each other. Don't laugh at me, spring catkins have no roots, no roots and no attachment; they keep relying on the power of the wind. Send me straight to Qingyun!
