"Su Muzhe·Nostalgia" Fan Zhongyan, a writer in the Song Dynasty.
Original text: The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, the colors of autumn are rolling, and the waves are green with cold smoke⑵. The mountains reflect the setting sun, the sky meets the water, and the fragrant grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun.
The soul of the dark country, chasing the thoughts of the journey, except every night, good dreams leave people to sleep. I rested and leaned alone high in the Mingyue Tower. The wine filled my heart with sadness, turning into tears of lovesickness. ?
Translation: The blue sky with floating blue clouds, the earth with flying yellow leaves, the autumn scenery is connected with the water waves in the river, and the waves are filled with green and cold smoke. The mountains reflect the setting sun, the blue sky and the river. The fragrant grass is not familiar with human feelings and stretches to the horizon where the setting sun cannot shine.
Silently missing my hometown makes me sad, and it is difficult to get rid of the lingering thoughts of traveling abroad. Only by having good dreams every night can I get a moment of comfort. I don’t want to lean on a tall building alone on a moonlit night and look far away. I can only pour bitter wine into my sad heart frequently and turn it into tears of lovesickness.
