Lesson 5, two ancient poems
"Inscription on the Western Forest Wall"
Su Shi (Song Dynasty)
Viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge. Peaks,
are of different heights near and far.
I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu,
It’s just because I am in this mountain.
"Visiting Shanxi Village"
Lu You (Song Dynasty)
Mo Xiao's farmer's wax wine is muddy,
In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins for visitors.
There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers.
There is another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers.
Lesson 20,
Two Ancient Poems
"The Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Old Friend of the West Farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, fireworks descended on Yangzhou in March.
The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.
"Send Yuan Er Envoy to Anxi" Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
The morning rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest houses are green and willows are new.
I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west.
There is another song in the Chinese Garden:
"Passing Through My Old Friend's Village" by Meng Haoran (Tang Dynasty)
My old friend invited me to Tian's house with chicken and millet.
Green trees border the village, and Qingshanguo slopes outside.
Open a pavilion and a garden, talk about mulberry and hemp over wine.
On the Double Ninth Festival, I will come to see chrysanthemums.
