1. "Passing Through My Old Friend's Village" Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran
My old friend brought chicken and millet and invited me to Tian's house.
The green trees are adjacent to the village, and the green mountains and hills are sloping outside.
Open a dining room and chat over wine.
On the Double Ninth Festival, I will come to see chrysanthemums.
Interpretation:
An old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to his hospitable farmhouse.
Green woods surround the village, and green mountains lie outside the city.
Open the window and face the vegetable garden of the threshing floor, holding a wine glass in hand and chatting about the crops.
When the Double Ninth Festival comes, please come here to enjoy the chrysanthemums.
2. "Gift to the Eight Virtues of the Guard" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Life without meeting is like participating in business.
Today and what night, *** this lamp candlelight.
How long will it take for you to be young? Your hair will turn gray.
Visiting the past is half a ghost, and exclaiming is hot in the intestines.
After twenty years, Yan Zhi came to the Junzi Hall again.
In the past, I was not married, but my children suddenly came together.
Yi Ran respected his father and asked me where I came from.
The questions and answers have not yet been completed, and the children are drinking wine.
The spring leeks are cut in the night rain, and the yellow beams in the new cooking room are cut.
The host said that it was difficult to meet, and it would take ten cups in one fell swoop.
I am not drunk even after ten cups of wine, and my feelings are deliberately long.
Tomorrow, across the mountains, the world will be confused.
Interpretation:
In the journey of life, it is often difficult to see each other after separation, just like it is rare for ginseng and business stars to meet each other.
Tonight is another auspicious day, let us talk together under this candlelight.
Young and strong youth can last as long as you have, but in the blink of an eye, both your temples are as frosty as frost.
Half of the friends I used to have passed away, and my heart was so agitated that I had to lament repeatedly.
I didn’t expect that after twenty years of separation, we could still be in the hall of your home today.
The difference is that you haven't gotten married yet and suddenly your children have become a gang.
They greeted my father’s old friend with a polite smile and asked me kindly where I was from.
Before you finish telling all the past events, you urge your children to quickly put the food and drinks on the table.
Braving the night rain, they cut fresh green leeks and presented them with freshly cooked yellow rice for me to taste.
The host lamented that the opportunity to meet was too rare, and he drank a dozen glasses in a row.
I drank more than a dozen drinks in a row and still didn’t feel drunk. I am touched that you have deep feelings for your old friend.
After we say goodbye tomorrow, we will be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. The vast world is really making me sad.
3. "A Guest's Night with Old Friends and Puppet Collection/A Collection of Old Friends' Puppet House in Jiangxiang" Tang Dynasty: Dai Shulun
The moon is full again in autumn, and the city tower is full of night.
We also held a meeting in Jiangnan, where we encountered each other in dreams and doubts.
The windy branches frighten the dark magpies, and the dew grass covers the cold crickets.
The commander of the brigade is drunk, and he is afraid of the dawn bell.
Interpretation:
The autumn moon is full again, and the night in the city is dark.
You and I met in Jiangnan. I suspect we met in a dream.
The evening wind blew the branches, startling the perching birds and magpies. The autumn grass is covered with frost and dew, accompanied by the mournful chirping of cold insects.
When you and I are guests in a foreign country, we should drink freely to relieve our depression, leaving you to drink and reminisce about the past, only to worry about the bell ringing at dawn.
4. "New Year's Eve Party at the Residence of Zhang Shaofu in Lecheng" Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran
In the past, we had a good family and knew each other for a long time. The continuation of the Ming Dynasty urges people to draw candles and stay up late for a long feast. ?
The old song of plum blossoms is sung, and the new song of Zhengbai wine is passed down. Travelers enjoy themselves everywhere, but they don't see each other every year.
Interpretation:
The two families have had a very good relationship for a long time and know each other intimately.
After dark, the colorful red candles are lit, and a banquet is arranged to watch the New Year's Eve, with friends sitting next to them.
During the banquet, the singer sang the old song "Plum Blossom", and everyone drank freshly steamed cypress wine, changing glasses, and occasionally played drinking games.
The author is now wandering around and having fun wherever he goes, and he has not seen her as the years have passed.
5. "Meeting an Old Friend" Qing Dynasty: Wu Weiye
I asked about it after the passage, and we saw that we were old friends.
Where to see the chaos, the news is true.
When you wipe your eyes, you will be shocked, and you will laugh and talk frequently while holding a cup in your hand.
I will live with you when you move home, and you will be left with two remaining people.
Interpretation:
I missed it before I remembered to ask, and when I looked carefully I realized that it was an old friend. War is everywhere, information is hard to get, and even if you get it, you don’t know whether it is true or false. Wipe your eyes to calm down your excitement, raise a glass and laugh with your friends. Please move to live near my house, two gray-haired survivors (from the Ming Dynasty).
