3. Annotation of Haoge
The humble room was empty, but the bed was full of wats.
Withered grass and withered poplars, it was once a singing and dancing venue.
Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green gauze is now on the canopy windows.
It is said that the fat is thick and the powder is fragrant, why are the temples turned into frost?
Yesterday the bones were buried in the loess, but tonight there are mandarin ducks under the red gauze tent.
The box is full of gold, the box is full of silver, and in a blink of an eye, beggars are slandered by everyone;
When you are sighing that others will not live long, how do you know that you have returned to mourn?
If you train well, you will not be able to become a strong leader later.
Whoever chooses to be a teacher will live in Fireworks Alley;
Because he thinks the gauze hat is too small, he will be chained to the shackles;
Yesterday I was so sorry that my coat was cold, but today I think the purple python is too long;
It’s ridiculous to think that a foreign country is your hometown after you sing and I will appear on stage. In the end, you are just making wedding clothes for others.
Explanation: The shabby bedrooms and empty halls were once filled with wooden huts, and the place covered with decaying grass and withered poplars once served as a theater for singing and dancing. , the painted pillars and carved beams have long been covered with spider webs, and the green gauze is now hung on the dilapidated windows. How is it that at such a young age, the rouge has the fragrance of pollen, but in the blink of an eye, the temples are as green as snow and frost? Just yesterday the bones were buried in Loess Ridge, and tonight they have been paired up in the red night tent. How about accumulating a box full of gold and silver, but you know that you will die when you return home? It is said that you should teach your children strictly and methodically, but there is no guarantee that the children will become strong men in the future. If you try your best to choose a son-in-law from a rich family, who would have thought that the girl would end up living in Firework Alley. Some people try their best to climb up because they think they are junior officials, but A shackle was placed around his neck. Yesterday, he lamented that he was exposed to the cold because of his lack of clothes, but now he feels that the purple and gold python robe is floor-length. The one who had just fallen and the other appeared again in the chaos. It was clearly a foreign country but he said it was his hometown. How absurd and ridiculous this was. In the end, they were all making wedding clothes for others.
4. The Poem of the Fairy Goddess of War
Before the song stopped, I saw a beautiful woman walking out over there. She was very different from ordinary people. There is a poem to prove it: Fang Liliu dock, just out of the flower room.
Wherever you go, the birds are startling the trees; when you are about to arrive, the shadows are in the corridor.
The immortal mantle is fluttering, and I smell the fragrance of musk orchid; the lotus clothes are about to move, and I hear the clang of the ring.
The dimples smile with spring peaches, the clouds on the temples are piled with green; the lips bloom with cherry blossoms, and the pomegranate teeth are fragrant. The slender waist is so beautiful that the wind and snow are dancing; the slender waist is emerald, with duck green and goose yellow.
When it comes and goes among the flowers, it is appropriate to be angry or happy; when it lingers on the pond, it looks like it is flying. Her eyebrows are about to frown, but she will say nothing; her lotus steps suddenly move, but she wants to stop.
I envy the beautiful woman for her good qualities, pure and smooth; I admire the beautiful woman for her gorgeous clothes, sparkling articles. If you love the beauty's appearance, you will be fragrant and jade-carved; if you love the beauty's attitude, the wind will make the dragon soar.
How pure it is, the spring plum blossoms are covered with snow; how clean it is, the autumn flowers are covered with frost. How quiet it is, like the pines standing in the empty valley; how beautiful it is, like the clouds reflecting on the clear pond. The writing is like a dragon swimming in the pond; the spirit is like the moon lining the cold river. One by one, they are far away from Xizi and close to Wangqiang. Where were they born? Descended from where?
If he had not returned from the banquet, he would have been the best in Yaochi; he would have played the flute to lure him away, and he would have been the best in Zifu.
Explanation: It seems as if the birds have just left the willow forest, and like the butterflies have just flown out of the flower house. Whenever the beautiful fairy walks around, the birds on the trees in the courtyard look surprised; just when her footsteps are about to arrive, her figure has already passed the nine-curved corridor. As soon as the fairy's clothes floated, she could already smell the rich fragrance of orchid and musk; when her lotus-like clothes were about to move, she could already hear the jingling of her rings.
The smile on the face is like a spring peach, and the flowing cloud-like bun is decorated with emeralds; the open mouth is like a cherry, and the teeth like pomegranate seeds are full of fragrance.
Look at that slender and well-proportioned waist, trembling like snowflakes flying in the breeze; complementing the brilliance of the pearl and jade hairpin ring is the "duck green" on the eyebrows and the "goose yellow" on the forehead. Disappearing and reappearing among thousands of flowers, I am equally angry and happy; I browse the water by the clear pool, and my clothes seem to fly in the air when the wind blows. The eyebrows like silkworm whiskers are about to wrinkle, as if they want to speak but are silent; like the steps on the lotus that have just moved, they want to stop but are still walking.
I envy the beauty’s good virtues, which are as clear as ice and as bright as jade; I admire the beauty’s gorgeous clothes, with their brilliant patterns sparkling. I admire the appearance of a beautiful woman, just like spices molding jade into carvings. How can I compare the expression and demeanor of a beautiful woman to it, like a phoenix flying and a dragon soaring? What does her whiteness look like? It’s the white plum blossoms blooming with snow in early spring; what does her purity look like? It is the autumn grass covered with light frost. What does her quietness look like? Like a green pine standing in a deep valley; what is her beauty like? It's like a clear pond reflected in the morning glow. What does her elegance look like? Like a long dragon wandering in a winding pond; what does her look look like? It's like the morning glow reflects the red and clear autumn river. This kind of appearance made Xi Shi ashamed in the distant world, and Zhaojun was ashamed in the near future.
Beauty, where were you born? Where are you from? If you are not the most beautiful girl in the Yaochi who came back from the Queen Mother's banquet, you must be the unparalleled jade descender in the fairy palace who plays the flute and flies on the phoenix.
