1. In the Year of Li Gui in the South of the Yangtze River, Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
It is common in Prince Qi’s house, and I heard it several times in front of Cui Jiutang.
It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and we meet you again when the flowers are falling.
Translation:
In those days, I often saw your performances at King Qi’s residence; I also appreciated your art many times in front of Cui Jiutang.
I didn’t expect that in this beautiful Jiangnan, during the season of falling flowers, I would meet an old acquaintance like you by chance.
2. Happy to see his cousin but say goodbye Tang Dynasty: Li Yi
After ten years of separation, they reunited when they grew up. I was surprised to see you for the first time when I asked my surname. I recalled my old appearance by calling my name.
Don’t come to Canghai, let’s talk about the sunset. Tomorrow we will go to Baling Road and the autumn mountains will be different.
Translation:
After nearly ten years of war and displacement, they met unexpectedly when they grew up. When we first met, we didn't know each other, so we asked him his name and surname. After saying his name, he remembered his old face.
I couldn’t finish talking about the changes in world affairs after the separation, and kept talking about the bells ringing in the temple at dusk.
Tomorrow you will climb the Baling Ancient Road again. How many more sorrows will there be in the autumn mountains?
