Tang Yin The ice wheel rolls obliquely and the mirror is as long as the sky. Jiang Lian hid his cold light. In danger and drunkenness, leaning against someone is like a painting. Where is the root sounding across the smokey village? The crows and magpies roost tiredly, the fish and dragons startle, and the stars hang in the weeping poplars. A thousand reeds bloom and the water is dim. Autumn colors fill the countryside. The tower seems like a fairy dream, and it is suspected to be Luopu Xiaoxiang. The wind and dew are vast, the shadows of mountains and rivers are turning, and the present and past are desolate. ——Chen Liang, Song Dynasty, "A Cluster of Flowers·Xitang Playing with the Moon"
A Cluster of Flowers·Xitang Playing with the Moon The ice wheel tilts the mirror and the sky is long. Jiang Lian hid his cold light. In danger and drunkenness, leaning against a person is like a picture. Where is the root sounding across the smoky village? The crows and magpies roost tiredly, the fish and dragons startle, and the stars hang in the weeping poplars.
A thousand reeds and a thousand tops of water are faintly scattered. Autumn colors fill the countryside. The tower seems like a fairy dream, and it is suspected to be Luopu Xiaoxiang. The wind and dew are vast, the shadows of mountains and rivers are turning, and the present and past are desolate. Bold and unrestrained, it describes the scenery and sadness. Once across the sea, it came to the desert again, and Guanhe River was four thousand miles away. The bones talk in vain, the intestinal chakra rotates, and eighteen years have passed. Are you waking up from your erotic dream? I sing to the drizzle of spring sails alone. Only vase flowers can be accompanied by a few branches, not too many. Only in the cold river can one escape from the fishing net. What do you think of yourself with all the dust left behind? Appreciation does not depend on the person, but the shape depends on the shadow. How can it be caused by the drunken face? Drawing the sword and wanting to sing loudly. How many heroic bones are there that are forbidden to be rubbed? Suddenly he said this person is me, open your eyes and take a closer look. ——Modern Dynasty·Tan Sitong's "Looking at the Sea Tide·Self-Inscribed Little Shadow"
Looking at the Sea Tide·Self-Inscribed Little Shadow Once across the sea, I came to the desert again, four thousand miles away by the Guanhe River. The bones talk in vain, the intestinal chakra rotates, and eighteen years have passed. Are you waking up from your erotic dream? I sing to the drizzle of spring sails alone. Only vase flowers can be accompanied by a few branches, not too many. Only in the cold river can one escape from the fishing net. What do you think of yourself with all the dust left behind? It doesn't depend on the person, the shape is still based on the shadow, how can it be caused by the drunken face? Drawing the sword and wanting to sing loudly. How many heroic bones are there that are forbidden to be rubbed? Suddenly he said this person is me, open your eyes and take a closer look. Bold and unrestrained, sighing with emotion that great ambition cannot be fulfilled, the sound of the flute swallowed, Qin E's dream cut off the moon in Qin Lou. Qin Lou is full of moon, willows are colored every year, and Baling is sad to say goodbye. Enjoy the Qingqiu Festival in Yuanyuan, and the sound of Xianyang's ancient road is excruciating. The sound is gone, the west wind is lingering, and the Han family mausoleum is still there. ——Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty "Recalling Qin E·The sound of the flute swallows"
Recalling Qin E·The sound of the flute swallows The sound of the flute swallows, Qin E's dream breaks the moon in the Qin Tower. Qin Lou is full of moon, willows are colored every year, and Baling is sad to say goodbye.
Enjoy the Qingqiu Festival in Yuanyuan, and the sound of the Xianyang ancient road is excruciating. The sound is gone, the west wind is lingering, and the Han family mausoleum is still there.
