Original text:
The Yellow River winds from a distant place, carrying thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Since you are from the sky, and now you seem to fly directly to the Milky Way, please take me to the sky, gather in the Milky Way, and go to the home of Cowherd and Weaver Girl together.
Vernacular translation:
The Yellow River in Wan Li twists and turns with sediment, and the waves are rolling, like a huge wind from the end of the world. Today, we can go all the way along the Yellow River to the Milky Way, and we will visit the home of Cowherd and Weaver Girl together.
This poem comes from Liu Yuxi's "Langtaosha Jiuqu Yellow River Wan Li Sand" in the Tang Dynasty.
Extended data writing background:
"Langtaosha", the epigraph name, was originally the name of Tang Dynasty, also known as "Flower Selling Sound". In the middle Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi created the Yuefu poem Langtaosha in tune with the minor Langtaosha. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yuyan wrote the poem Langtaosha. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yong wrote a long tune "Langtaosha".
The collection of movements is called Langtaoshaling, and it is in the tune of "Xiezhi", while the collection of Muslim music is in the tune of "Shang", which makes its charm stronger, and the sentence reading is different from the collection of movements. Representative works include Li Yu's Sand Waves, Rain Outside the Curtain, etc.
Langtaosha, formerly known as Don Jiao Fang, was later used as an inscription name. Yan Yue flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and scholars were good at writing poems. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi wrote the Yuefu poem Langtaosha based on the minor Langtaosha, which is a quatrain of seven words. In the Five Dynasties, Li Houzhu's poem Langtaosha was well known. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yong wrote a long tune "Langtaosha".
