Ten more ancient poems (the third watch)
Author: Tang Bai Juyi
Pick roses on the mountain in the morning and at night.
At the age of 20, Wei Yan was exhausted and hungry. What did he do?
Sitting and drinking white stone water, holding pine branches.
Long song alone, his voice is clear and sad.
A horse is not fat, but it often suffers.
I am not full, but I am worried.
Sing this song to comfort those who often suffer from hunger.
To annotate ...
Hummer: A horse kept in a stable. A manager.
(2) Sacrifice: Pure color livestock used in ancestral temple sacrifice.
(3) Suffering from hunger: the whole school of poetry: "thirsty and hungry."
