1. "Ode to Coal"
Ming Dynasty: Yu Qian
The black gold can be found by digging through the chaos, which contains the deepest Yang and meaning.
The fire burns brightly and rejuvenates the spring, and the furnace shines brightly through the night.
Ding Yi Yuan relies on the power of creation, but the iron and stone still remain in the mind after death.
I hope that everyone will be well fed and warm enough to go out of the mountains and forests without any trouble.
Translation: Dig through the strata of chaos to obtain black gold which is coal. Contains endless heat and the deepest love. The torch is burning like a spring breeze. The raging flames of the furnace shone through the gray sky.
The production of bells, tripods and Yi utensils all depends on the original force. Although Iron Stone is dead, he still remains the most loyal. I just hope that everyone in the world is full and warm. He worked tirelessly to get out of the remote mountains and forests.
2. "Five Hundred Words of Empathy from Beijing to Fengxian County"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Du Ling had commoners, but the boss turned careless. How foolish is it to promise a body, to steal Biji and deed.
It turned out to be a whirlpool, with a white head and a sweet and broad body. The matter of covering the coffin is over, and this ambition is often coveted.
I worry about Li Yuan in my poor years and sigh at the heat in my intestines. Making fun of classmate Weng, Hao Ge Mi was fierce.
It is not without ambitions of the rivers and seas, and it sends the sun and the moon with ease. When I was born and met the kings of Yao and Shun, I could not bear to say goodbye forever.
Today’s corridors, temples, and buildings are all in short supply. The sunflowers and sunflowers lean towards the sun, and the physical properties are solid and cannot be taken away.
Gu Wei is like an ant, but he seeks his own nest. Hu is a big whale, and he always wants to attack Bo.
In order to understand physiology, I am ashamed of myself. Up to now, I can't bear to be wiped out by dust.
In the end, I felt ashamed of my nest and my home, and could not change my ways. Drinking and chatting makes you feel comfortable, and singing makes you feel very sad.
At the end of the year, the grass is gone, and the high mountains are cracked by the strong wind. Tianqu is overcast and majestic, and the guests are at night.
Shuangyan's clothes are broken, and the fingers cannot be knotted. Passing through Lishan Mountain in the early morning, the imperial couch was in Jixi.
Chiyou is standing in the cold sky, treading on slippery cliffs and valleys. The Qi of Yaochi is sluggish, and the feathers and forests are in a state of chaos.
The king and his ministers stayed and entertained themselves, and the joy moved the Yin and Qiang people.
The people who give baths all have long tassels, and the banquets are not short and brown. The silk fabrics divided by Tongting originated from Hannu.
Hit her husband’s family and collect tribute from the city. The saint's basket is full of kindness, and he really wants the country to live.
If the minister is suddenly wise, how can you abandon this thing?
The court is full of people, and the benevolent should tremble. Kuang heard that the gold plate inside was all in Weihuo's room.
The gods dance in the middle hall, and the smoke scatters jade. The warm guest is the sable fur, and the sorrowful management is chasing the clear harp.
Encourage guests with camel hoof soup, frosted orange pressed with fragrant tangerine. The wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death.
The prosperity and decline are so close and different, and the melancholy is difficult to describe again. Beiyuan leads to Jingwei, and Guandu changes course again.
A group of ice descends from the west, soaring as far as the eye can see. It is suspected that it is coming from Kongtong, and I am afraid that it will break the Tianzhu.
Fortunately, the river beam is not broken, and the branches are rustling. Travelers rely on each other, Sichuan and Guangdong cannot be crossed.
The old wife lives in a different county, separated by ten people from the wind and snow. Who can ignore it for a long time and go to bed to be hungry and thirsty?
When I heard the howl at the entrance, my youngest son died of hunger. I would rather give up and mourn, and I will sob in the alleys.
I am ashamed to be a father, and I will die young if I don’t have enough food. Little do you know that autumn has not yet arrived, and there is a rush in poverty.
Cheng Chang is exempt from rent and tax, and his name is not subject to conquest. The traces of caressing are still sour and pungent, and the average person is solid and crumbly.
I meditate on the unemployed, because I miss the soldiers far away. Worry ends in Qi Zhongnan, and the cave cannot be broken.
Translation: In Duling, for a commoner like me, the older I get, the more out of place I become. How stupid and ridiculous his request was, and he secretly made up his mind to be like Ji Qi.
This kind of thinking is actually unrealistic. I end up hitting a wall everywhere and my head turns gray, but I am willing to work hard and refuse to rest. One day when the coffin is closed, this matter cannot be mentioned again. As long as you have not died, your ambition cannot be transferred.
All year round, I worry and sigh for the people, and thinking of their suffering makes my heart burn with anxiety. Although he provoked cynicism from the gentlemen of his generation, he became even more passionate and sang loudly without losing heart.
3. "Hao Li Xing"
Han Dynasty: Cao Cao
There was a righteous man in Guandong who raised troops to fight against the evil.
In the early days of Huimengjin, my heart was in Xianyang.
The combined strength of the army was uneven, and the geese flew hesitantly.
Snobbishness makes people fight, and the heirs fight against each other.
The title of Huainan brother is carved in the north.
The armor is infested with lice, and thousands of people die from it.
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.
One of the hundreds of things left by the people will be heart-breaking if you think about it.
Translation: The righteous people in Guandong all raised troops to attack those cruel people. In the end, he made an appointment with various generals to form an alliance and worked together to defeat Dong Zhuo of Chang'an. After the various armies that attacked Dong Zhuo gathered together, because each had their own plans and lacked strength, they waited and watched each other, and no one was willing to take the lead. The word "snobbery" caused competition among the various armies, and then the armies started fighting each other.
Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, and Yuan Shao planned to establish a puppet emperor and carved the emperor's seal in the north. Due to the continuous wars, soldiers could not take off their uniforms for a long time, and their armors were infested with lice. Many civilians also died in large numbers due to successive years of wars.
The bones were exposed in the wild with no one to bury them. There was no human habitation for thousands of miles, and no roosters could be heard. It is extremely sad to think that only one out of a hundred people is still alive.
4. "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
In August, the high autumn wind roared and rolled up the triple thatch on my house. Mao flies across the river and spreads across the outskirts of the river. The taller ones hang on the treetops, while the lower ones float around the pond.
The boys in Nancun deceived me because I was old and weak, and I could not bear to face them as thieves. He carried thatch into the bamboo without hesitation, his lips were burnt and his mouth was dry and he couldn't breathe. When he came back, he leaned on his staff and sighed.
The wind in Russia makes the clouds dark, and the desert turns dark in autumn. The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and the delicate child is lying on it and is cracked inside. There is no drying place for the leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like hemp on the feet and has not been stopped. Since my period is disordered and I don’t sleep much, how can I get wet all night long?
There are thousands of mansions in Ande, which will protect the poor people all over the world and make them happy! Unmoved by wind and rain, it is as peaceful as a mountain. Alas! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death!
Translation: In the depth of autumn in August, the strong wind howled, and the strong wind swept away several layers of thatch on my roof. Thatch flies across the Huanhua River and is scattered on the other side of the river. The thatch that flies high is entangled in the tall treetops, and the grass that flies low flutters and sinks into the ponds and depressions.
A group of children in Nancun bullied me because I was old and weak. They had the heart to act like a "thief" and steal things in front of me. They ran into the bamboo forest holding thatch without any scruples. My lips were dry and I couldn’t stop drinking. When I came back, I was leaning on a cane and sighing alone. After a while, the wind stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky were as black as ink. The gloomy sky in late autumn gradually became dark.
The cloth has been covered for many years and is cold and hard, like an iron plate. The child's sleeping posture was not good and the quilt was torn. When it rains, the roof leaks, and there is no dry place in the house. The rainwater on the roof leaks down like twine. Since the An-Shi Rebellion, I had very little sleep time. The nights were long, the house leaked, and the bed was wet. How could I stay up till dawn?
How to get tens of millions of spacious and tall houses to universally shelter poor scholars all over the world and make them smile! As stable as a mountain. well! When will such a tall house appear in front of me, even if my thatched hut is blown apart by the autumn wind, I will be willing to freeze to death!
5. "Staying at Xunni's House under Wusong Mountain"
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
I stayed under Wusongshan, lonely and joyless.
The autumn work in the Tian family is bitter, and the neighbor's daughter is cold at night.
Kneel down and eat the carved rice, the moonlight shining on the plain plate.
It’s so shameful that I can’t eat even if I thank you three times.
Translation: I stayed at a farmhouse at the foot of Wusong Mountain, feeling very depressed and lonely. Farmers are even busier with their autumn work. The woman next door is pounding rice all night long, not afraid of the cold autumn night. Xun Ni, the landlord, brought me wild rice on a plain plate that was as bright as the moonlight. This reminded me with shame of Piao's mother who helped Han Xin and refused to eat.
