Translation: The main road in Chang'an is connected to various small streets and alleys, with buffaloes and white horses, and fragrant wood carts coming and going on the streets. The cars of the princes and nobles were in an endless stream outside the noble houses. Cars with gorgeous car hoods carved with dragons and tassels on the phoenix mouths travel through Chang'an from morning to night. The swaying worm threads are hundreds of feet long, all wrapped around the trees, and a group of petite birds are singing towards the flowers.
Swarms of bees and butterflies flew on both sides of the palace gate. The green trees and silver tables reflected many colors in the sunlight. The pavilions and windows of the mansion are engraved with patterns of albizia flowers, and the double ridges on the ridge connecting the two watchtowers resemble golden phoenixes hanging their wings. The painting pavilion of the Liang family is so tall that it reaches the sky, and the copper pillars built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are so tall that they touch the clouds.
The lady in the pavilion looks at each other without knowing who the other person is, but will she know who the other person is when they meet on the road? Asked if they had ever played the flute, they replied that they had spent their youthful days learning to dance. As long as I can stay with the one I love, I am willing to die; as long as I can stay with the one I love, I am willing to be a mortal and not envy the gods.
Bi Mu and Yuanyang are really worthy of envy, but you can’t see them as a pair. What I hate most is the embroidered lone luan in front of the tent. I would like to paste the door curtain with the swallows flying around the beams of flowers and trees, and sprinkle the curtains and green feathers with tulip spices. The hair on the temples is like floating light clouds, combed into a cicada-wing style, and a bright yellow crescent-shaped pattern is painted on the forehead.
Beauties with bright yellow crescent-shaped patterns on their foreheads and red lips and white teeth travel with the car. They are all charming and charming. A frivolous boy rides a horse with blue spots on a white background, and a singing girl sits in the car surrounded by dragon-patterned hinges. Soon it was so quiet in front of the Yushi Mansion that you could hear the crows, and there were birds wanting to rest on the trees in front of the Tingwei Mansion.
The luxurious road next to the mansion can be vaguely seen from the car, and the curtain on the car hides the solid river embankment in the distance. Some people were hunting in the north of Duling, and some were assassinating officials west of the Wei Bridge. Later, the assassins with swords were attracted to stay in brothels and sleep with prostitutes. The prostitutes thought about the prostitutes day and night, and their sweet songs and scent filled the room.
The prostitutes have fun with the prostitutes who are as beautiful as the moon every night, and in the morning they ride on horses like clouds. The road at the feet of the prostitutes leads to brothels, and Chang'an streets crisscross and extend in all directions, connecting them with the market. Frail green willow and locust branches hung on the ground, and the lively sounds of carriages and horses also sounded at night.
The Imperial Guard's cavalry arrived and they drank in a brothel. The beautiful clothes of the prostitutes were untied for them, and the dance began for them. The dignitaries became generals and ministers, and they stayed by the emperor's side without giving in. The powerful will not be able to tolerate virtuous ministers and will exclude them at every turn. The authoritarian man thinks he is a hero and rides his horse triumphantly.
The prostitute thinks that her dancing skills are better than those of the past, and the hero thinks that her wealth is better than that of the five princes. Things in the world will definitely change a lot. Only a few green pine trees can be seen in the luxurious mansions of the past. After Yang Xiong of the Han Dynasty failed in his official career, he was willing to be lonely and devoted himself to writing books year after year, and finally became famous for his articles. Only some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are flying in the quiet Nanshan Mountain, hitting people's clothes little by little.
