1. Poems expressing longing for your lover
1. Ten years of life and death are so vast that you will never forget them without thinking about them.
From: Jiang Chengzi·Dreams on the night of the 20th day of the first lunar month of Yi Mao
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Ten years of life and death are so vast that they cannot be forgotten without thinking. Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, no place to speak of desolation. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other, our faces are covered with dust and our temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly returned home from a deep dream. I was dressing up outside the small window. They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. It is expected that the broken part of the intestines will be cut off every year, on a bright moonlit night, there will be short pines. (Broken Heart, Part 1: Broken Heart)
Translation: Two people die once in their lives and have been separated for ten years. They miss each other but are at a loss and cannot see each other. I don’t want to let myself miss it, but I can’t forget it. My wife's lonely grave is thousands of miles away, and there is no place to tell her the desolation and sorrow in my heart. Even if we meet, we probably won't know each other, because I am running around, my face is covered with dust, and my temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown in a vague dream, and saw my wife dressing up in front of the mirror in front of the small window. The two looked at each other, not knowing where to start from a thousand words, and could only shed a thousand lines of tears in relative silence. I imagined that the moonlit graveyard with small pine trees growing there was the place where I missed my wife with heartache every year.
2. The exquisite dice is decorated with red beans, which makes people miss each other deeply.
From: Two Poems of Nan Gezi / Newly Added Sounds of Willow Branches
Tang Dynasty: Wen Tingyun
A foot of deep red is worse than Quchen, and the old things born in nature are not as good as new. (Sheng Quchen's first work: Meng Quchen)
The Albizia Julibrissin Peach Core will eventually be hated, and there is no one else in Xu Yuanlai.
Lamps are lit at the bottom of the well, and the candles are deep in the well, and the wise man is always playing chess.
The exquisite dice is decorated with red beans, and I miss you deeply.
Translation: A long crimson dress has turned pale yellow over time. Since ancient times, old things have not been as flattering as new things.
You and I were supposed to be as steadfast as Albizia walnuts, but I never imagined that you already had someone else in your heart, which made me hate you after all.
I light the candle in the middle of the night to remind you deeply that the journey is long and you should not forget the date of return.
Did you know that the red beans that symbolize lovesickness are embedded in the small and exquisite dice?
3. I miss you every day and don’t see you, and drink the water of the Yangtze River.
From: Bu Suanzi·I live at the head of the Yangtze River
Song Dynasty: Li Zhiyi
I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day without seeing you, and drink water from the Yangtze River every day.
When will this water stop, and when will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will live up to my love.
Translation: I live in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and you live at the bottom of the Yangtze River. I miss you day and night, but I can’t see you, you and me. Drinking the green water of the same river, two people love each other and know each other.
When will the endless river dry up, and when will the bitter hatred of separation cease. I only hope that your heart will stay as strong as mine, and you will not let down my infatuated love.
4. Only if you don’t love lovesickness in your life, you will love lovesickness, which will harm lovesickness.
From: Zhegui Ling·Chun Qing
Yuan Dynasty: Xu Zaisi
If you don’t know lovesickness in your life, you will only love lovesickness, which will harm lovesickness.
The body is like floating clouds, the heart is like flying catkins, and the energy is like gossamer.
A wisp of lingering fragrance is here, I hope the rich wanderer will do it.
When will the syndrome come? When the lamp is half dim, when the moon is half bright.
Translation: I haven’t known lovesickness since I was born. I have just understood what lovesickness is, but I still suffer from it.
The body is like floating clouds, the heart is like flying catkins, and the energy is like wisps of gossamer.
There is only a trace of lingering fragrance left here, but your sweetheart no longer knows where to stay?
When are the symptoms of lovesickness most intense? It’s when the lights are half dim and the moon is half bright.
5. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and you can bear to look at the magpie bridge on your way back.
From: Magpie Bridge Immortal·Xianyun Nongqiao
Song Dynasty: Qin Guan
Xianyun makes tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and the distance between Yin and Han is dark. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world. (Du Tong: crossing)
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the Magpie Bridge on the way home. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?
Translation: The thin clouds are changing in the sky, the shooting stars in the sky convey the sadness of lovesickness, and I quietly pass through the distant and endless Milky Way tonight. Meeting on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the autumn wind and white dew is better than those couples in the world who stay together forever but seem to be inseparable.
*** tells of lovesickness, tenderness is like water, the brief meeting is like a dream, and when we part, I can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge Road. As long as the love lasts until death, there is no need to covet the happiness of each other. 2. What are the words used to describe old love?
