1. "Traveling is Difficult" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Ten thousand dollars worth of wine in gold bottles, and ten thousand dollars worth of treasures on jade plates.
I stopped eating and threw chopsticks. I drew my sword and looked around at a loss.
If you want to cross the Yellow River, which is blocked by ice, you will have to climb the snow-covered mountains of Taihang.
I was fishing on the Bixi River in my spare time, and suddenly I was riding a boat and dreaming of the sun.
Traveling is difficult! Traveling is difficult! Duoqi Road, where is it now?
There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the cloud sails are hung directly to help the sea.
Translation: The fine wine in the gold cup is worth ten thousand dollars per dou, and the precious dishes in the jade plate are worth ten thousand dollars. But my sadness made me put down my cup and chopsticks and refused to eat. He pulled out his sword and looked around, feeling confused. If you want to cross the Yellow River, the river will be blocked by solid ice; if you want to climb the Taihang Mountains, heavy snow will cover the mountains. I recall that when Jiang Taigong was fishing in Fenxi River, he met the talented King Wen; Yi Yin took a boat to dream about the sun and was employed by Shang Tang. How difficult the road of life is, how difficult it is, and how complicated it is. Where is the real road? I firmly believe that the time to ride the wind and waves will definitely come, and when that time comes, we will set sail and sail across the blue sea and blue sky.
2. "The turtle has a long life" by Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty
Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time;
The snake rides on the mist and turns to dust in the end. .
The old man is still ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles;
The martyrs are ambitious in their old age.
The period of profit and contraction is not only in heaven;
The blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.
Translation: Although the divine turtle is very long-lived, its life will eventually end one day; although the soaring snake can fly in the clouds and fog, it will eventually die and turn into ashes. Although the old thousand-mile horse is crouching beside the manger, its ambition is still galloping thousands of miles; even if the ambitious person reaches his old age, his ambition will never stop. The length of human life is not just determined by God; if you take good care of your body and mind, you will surely live longer. I am so lucky to express my thoughts and feelings through singing.
3. "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty
When you are old and strong, you would rather have a gray-headed heart?
Be poor and strong, and you will not fall into the clouds.
Translation: Although you are getting older, your ambition should be stronger. How can you change your mood when you are old? Although the situation is difficult, one's integrity should be firmer and one should never abandon one's ambition.
4. "Bamboo and Stone" by Zheng Xie of the Qing Dynasty
Stand firmly on the green mountains and never let go, and the roots are still in the broken rocks.
After countless hardships, I am still strong, regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south.
Translation: Clinging tightly to the green mountains and never letting go, originally rooted deeply in the cracks of the rocks. My body and bones are still strong despite countless blows, no matter how strong the wind blows from east to west, north and south.
5. "Shang Li Yong" Li Bai of Tang Dynasty?
The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand 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: One day the Dapeng will fly with the wind, and rely on the power of the wind to reach the sky. If the wind stops and the roc flies down, it can still lift the water in the rivers and seas. People in the world see me always singing high-pitched words, and sneer when they hear my bold words. Confucius also said, "The future generations are to be feared. How can we know that they will not come as they come?" A true man should not despise young people.
