Bashang Chinese ancient poems include:
1. Drinking·Part 5
Tao Yuanming? [Wei and Jin]
Jie Lu Zai A human environment without the noise of cars and horses.
How can you do this? The mind is far away from itself.
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain.
The mountain air is getting better day by day, and the birds are flying back and forth.
There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to explain it.
Translation
Build your house in a place where people come and go, but will not be disturbed by worldly interactions.
Ask me why this is possible. As long as the thoughts in your heart are far away from the world, you will naturally feel that the place you are in is secluded.
While picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, Nanshan Mountain in the distance came into view.
The scenery of Nanshan Mountain is very beautiful in the evening, with mist lingering among the peaks and birds flying back together.
This contains the true meaning of life. I want to distinguish it clearly, but I have forgotten how to express it.
2. Spring Hope
Du Fu? [Tang Dynasty]
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation.
I am moved to tears by the flowers, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.
Translation
The capital was invaded but the mountains and rivers remained unchanged, and the weeds and trees in Chang'an City grew wildly.
Feeling the situation of defeat, I shed tears when I see the flowers blooming, I feel melancholy and resentment in my heart, I feel frightened when I hear the singing of birds.
The continuous war has lasted for a spring. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Wrapped in melancholy, I scratched my head and thought. The more I scratched my head, the shorter my white hair became. It was almost impossible to insert a hairpin.
3. Yellow Crane Tower
Cui Hao? [Tang Dynasty]
People in the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go there, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here.
The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years.
Qingchuan is surrounded by Hanyang trees and luxuriant grasses in Parrot Island.
Where is Rimu Xiangguan? The smoke on the Yanbo River makes people sad.
Translation
The immortals of the past have flown away on the Yellow Crane, leaving only the empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The Yellow Crane never came back. For thousands of years, only white clouds were seen floating in the sky.
The trees in Hanyang are clearly visible under the sunlight, and you can even see Parrot Island with lush grass.
The dusk is gradually rising, where is my hometown? The hazy mist on the river makes people feel more worried.
4. Ambition
Wang Ji? [Tang Dynasty]
Donggao looked at the dusk, where could he rely on when he moved?
The trees are all in autumn colors, and the mountains are only covered with sunset.
Herdsmen drive calves back, hunting horses return with poultry.
We look at each other but have no acquaintance, and we sing and pick up the flowers for a long time.
Translation
At dusk, I stood in Donggao and gazed, wandering and not knowing where to turn.
Every tree is dyed with autumn colors, and the mountains are covered with the afterglow of the setting sun.
Herdsmen drive their cattle home, and hunters return on horseback with their prey as they wish.
Everyone was relatively silent and did not know each other. They could only sing a long song to remember the hermits who gathered weeds for food in ancient times.
5. Yanmen Taishou's Journey
Li He? [Tang Dynasty]
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, about to destroy it, and the armor's light opens toward the sun's golden scales.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, and the night is purple when stuffed with swallow fat.
A half-rolled red flag is near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
Report your favor on the golden platform, and guide the Jade Dragon to die for you.
Translation
The enemy soldiers rolled in like black clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; the soldiers' armor shone golden in the sunlight.
The sound of the horn resounded through the autumn night sky, and the blood stains of the soldiers on the frontier turned purple in the cold night.
The red flag is half rolled, and the reinforcements rush to Yishui; the night is cold and frosty, and the drums sound dull and low.
In order to repay the king's reward and love, he was willing to fight to the death for his country with a sword in his hand.
