Original text:
See you at the first meal in Yangzhou.
Tang Dynasty-Liu Yuxi
The mountains were desolate and silent for twenty-three years.
People come back. Like people in Michelle, I can only play the flute, and I am disappointed.
On one side of the boat, Qian Fan races; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower.
Today, listen to you sing a song, drink a glass of wine and cheer up.
Translation:
In these desolate places of Bashan and Chushui, I lived silently for 23 years. I can only play the flute and write poems, and I feel that it is not the old days to come back for a long time. Things will be different when I come back. I am like a rotten person, sinking my boat and competing for Qian Fan; Before the sick tree, every spring. I listened to the poem you recited to me today, so I borrowed a glass of wine to cheer up.
