1. Reward Lotte at the first banquet in Yangzhou
[Translation]
I spent twenty-three years in such desolate places as Bashan and Chushui. The years of decline.
I miss my old friend and recite the poem "Wen Di" in vain. After returning from exile for a long time, I feel that the scene is no longer the same as before.
Thousands of sails are sailing by beside the sunken ship, but thousands of trees are blooming in front of the diseased trees.
After listening to the poem you recited for me today, let’s cheer up with this glass of wine.
2. Red Cliff
The broken arrow and broken halberd buried in the sand are stained with rust (the halberd is an ancient weapon)
After polishing me Only then did I recognize that it was something from the ancients.
If Dongfeng had not helped Zhou Yu a lot back then, (Soochow Zhou Yu used fire attacks to defeat Cao Cao)
I am afraid that their wives would have been taken away by Cao Cao. (Er Qiao refers to the wives of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu Dynasty)
"Sink in the sand" describes a disastrous failure.
3. Looking back on the hardships I went through in my early years from the imperial examination to becoming an official,
It has been four weeks since the war ended.
A country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind,
An individual is like duckweed in a shower.
The disastrous defeat in Panpantan makes me still panic.
Lingxiayang was trapped in Yuanlu, but I was lonely and alone.
Since ancient times, no one has been able to live forever.
I want to leave a piece of patriotic loyalty to reflect history.

When did the bright moon appear? (I) held the wine glass and asked the sky. I don’t know what era it is now in the palace of gods in the sky. (Legend has it that only a few days have passed in the fairy world, but thousands of years have passed underground, hence the question.) I want to ride the wind back to the sky (as if I originally came down from the sky to the human world, so I say "go back") ), I am afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade cannot withstand the cold in the high altitude (legend has it that the palace in the middle of the moon is called Guanghan Palace). In my imagination, I dance to the moon, and the clear shadow follows people, as if I am riding on the clouds and riding the wind. I am in the sky, but it doesn't look like I am on earth!
The moon turns and shines all over the gorgeous pavilions. Late at night, the moonlight penetrates low into the carved doors and windows, illuminating the people who are worried and unable to sleep. Since the moon is full, there should be no hatred, but why do we often take advantage of people's separation to reunite? People's experiences include sorrow, joy, parting, and reunion; the moon also encounters shadow, eyes, roundness, and lack; this situation has been like this since ancient times, and it is rare to be perfect. I only hope that we can all be healthy and live long, and that although we are thousands of miles away, we can enjoy this beautiful moonlight together.

Translation: The peaks of Huashan Mountain seem to be gathering from all directions, and the waves of the Yellow River are raging as if they are angry. There is the Yellow River outside Tongguan and Huashan Mountain inside. The mountains and rivers are majestic and the terrain is dangerous. I looked at the area around the ancient capital Chang'an from a distance and thought a lot in my heart. (I felt very unhappy) What was sad was that I passed by the ruins of the Qin and Han palaces and saw that countless palaces had turned into dirt. When a feudal dynasty is established, the people suffer; when a feudal dynasty is destroyed, the people still suffer.
