1. Two poems about Farewell to Dong Da
Tang Dynasty: Gao Shi
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, and the north wind blows wild geese and snow.
Don’t worry, there will be no friends in the future. No one in the world will know you.
Liu Fei fluttered and felt sorry for himself. He left Beijing and Luo for more than ten years.
My husband is poor and lowly, so there is no money for drinks when we meet today.
Translation: Thousands of miles of yellow clouds cover the sky and the sun, the weather is gloomy, the north wind sends away the geese and blows heavy snow. Don't worry that the road ahead is uncertain and you don't have a confidant. Who in the world doesn't know you?
Just like a bird running around without any results, it can only hurt itself and feel sorry for itself. It has been more than ten years since I left Jingluo. Who would be willing to live in poverty if a man is poor? We can't afford the wine money when we meet today.
2. Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Tower
Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling
Entering Wu at night in the cold rain and seeing off Chu Shangu in the bright light.
When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, their hearts are filled with ice in a jade pot.
Translation: The cold rain spread all over Wudi and the sky all night long. After seeing you off in the morning, even the hazy distant mountains seemed lonely! When you arrive in Luoyang, if your relatives and friends in Luoyang ask about me, please tell them that my heart is still as crystal clear and pure as the ice in the jade pot!
3. Sending friends off
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Green mountains cross Beiguo, and white water surrounds the east city. This place is a different place, and I can conquer thousands of miles alone.
The wandering clouds are like a wandering child, and the setting sun is about old friends. I waved my hand and went away, and the horses roared.
Translation: Green mountains lie on the north side of the city wall, and sparkling water surrounds the east side of the city. Here we say goodbye to each other, and you are like a solitary peng blowing in the wind, traveling thousands of miles away.
The floating clouds are as unpredictable as wanderers, and the setting sun slowly sets down the mountain, seeming to be nostalgic. They waved goodbye frequently and left, and the horses neighed in farewell.
4. Crossing the Jingmen Gate to say goodbye
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Crossing the distance outside the Jingmen Gate to travel from the Kingdom of Chu. The mountains end with the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness.
Under the moon, there is a flying mirror, and the clouds form a sea tower. I still feel sorry for the water in my hometown, and send my boat sailing thousands of miles away.
Translation: I took a boat across the river to the distant Jingmen Gate and visited the territory of Chu State during the Warring States Period. The mountains gradually disappear as the low plains appear, and the rivers flow in the endless wilderness.
The moonlight on the river is like a mirror flying from the sky, and the clouds create a mirage outside the city. I still love this water from my hometown, which came all the way to see my eastbound boat.
5. Farewell
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
Dismounted from his horse to drink your wine, and asked you where you were. You are dissatisfied with your words and return to the south mountain frontier. But don’t ask again, the white clouds are endless.
Translation: Please dismount and have a glass of wine. I want to ask my friend where you are going. You said that because you were unhappy with your life, you wanted to return to your hometown and live in seclusion near Zhongnan Mountain. Just go and I won't ask any more questions. There are endless white clouds floating in the sky.
6. Farewell to Xie Ting
Tang Dynasty: Xu Hun
A song of labor explains boating, red leaves, green mountains and rapids. ?
At dusk, people are far away from the drunkenness. The sky is full of wind and rain, and I am going down to the west building.
Translation: After singing a farewell song, you untied the far away boat. There were green mountains on both sides of the bank, and the mountains were covered with red leaves. The water was flowing eastward rapidly.
When dusk fell and I woke up, I realized that the person had gone away. At this time, the sky was full of wind and rain, and I was the only one who left the west building alone.
