Poetry describing a woman’s longing for her husband who is away in war

1. "Fragrant Grass Crossing" Song Dynasty: He Zhu

Leave the bridle and send away the cup. Tears of shame, twisting green plums. Asked in a low voice when he would return. Qin Zheng is rushing, who is he arranging for this night? ?

You are leaving, far away from Penglai. Thousands of miles away, the message is good. Lovesickness is the feeling of illness. and troubles, find a way out and send them to the future.

Original poem:

Trying to persuade people who are about to travel far away to stay, repeatedly urging them to drink, and holding on to the reins of horses. Sad tears fell like rain. He bowed his head and twisted the green plums, and asked in a low voice when he would return. After parting ways, what else do you think about playing the harp, drums, and harp tonight?

You go to a distant place. Thousands of miles apart, thousands of miles apart, the two places are completely cut off from each other. Being sick due to lovesickness, what kind of feelings do you feel when you become sick? Write a letter telling her about your troubles, and find a way to send these to her.

2. The surface of the anvil is shiny and the pestle sounds in unison. Make trouble with the questions of Zhengyi and tears.

From "The Sound of Pestle Qi·Anvil Surface Ying" written by He Zhu in the Song Dynasty

The surface of the anvil is shiny, and the sound of pestle is Qi. Make trouble with the questions of Zhengyi and tears. It was sent thousands of miles to Yuguan, but the garrison was still in the west of Yuguan.

Interpretation:

Due to long-term use, the surface of the stone has become smooth and clean, and the sound of the pestle is harmonious and neat. After pounding it, I made it into clothes and sent them to my husband, but when I wrote my name and attached the letter from home, I couldn't stop crying. It was already thousands of miles away when it was sent to Yumen Pass, but the people guarding the border were still west of Yumen Pass.

3. To ask Yuan Rong Dou’s chariots and horses when they will return to Zole Yanran.

From "Spring Thoughts" by Huangfu Ran of the Tang Dynasty

The orioles sing and the swallows announce the New Year, and thousands of dragons pile up on the road in Mayi. I live in Hanyuan, a city on the upper floor, and my heart follows the bright moon to Hu Tian.

The brocade in the machine talks about eternal regret, while the flowers on the branches laugh and sleep alone upstairs. In order to ask Yuan Rong Dou's chariots and horses when they will return to Zile Yanran.

Interpretation:

Yingge Yanyu predicted that the New Year is approaching, and Longdui in Mayi is a frontier thousands of miles away. He lives in the capital, next to the palaces and gardens of the Han Dynasty, and his heart follows the bright moon to Hu Tian on the border. The brocade palindrome tells of the longing and regret, and the flower branches upstairs tease me for still sleeping alone. May I ask when your commander, the chariot general Dou Xian, will return to the court to carve stones on Yanran Mountain?

It's hard to send all the books, and I worry about having too many dreams.

Wish to follow the shadow of the lonely moon and shine in Fubo Camp.

Interpretation:

The wild geese have all flown away, making it difficult to send letters. There is so much sadness that it is difficult to sleep. How I wish I could follow the ubiquitous moon shadow and shine its light on your military camp.

Suddenly I saw the color of willows on the street, and I regretted teaching my husband and son-in-law to find a title.

Interpretation:

The young woman in the boudoir has never had the sorrow of missing each other. On a bright spring day, she dressed up carefully and climbed up to the green building happily. Suddenly I saw the willows and green trees in the wild full of youthful spirit, and I really regretted letting my husband join the army in the frontier fortress and achieve meritorious service and become a marquis.
