Translation of Zhang Shunmin's Ancient Poems

The translation of Zhang Shunmin's ancient poems is as follows:

At the beginning, "I" was pleased with the style of fireflies. They read my mind and fell on my skirt through the curtain. Poets integrate personality and subjective feelings into fireflies, making poetry blend with things and me, with deep feelings. Although the poet reveals the intention of moving guests, he thinks more about social life, and his thoughts shine with rational light and inspire people.

"Don't be too humble" shows the psychology of not feeling inferior because of humble origins. "The moon dares to provoke the stars" shows the fearless spirit of not showing weakness to the strong and daring to compete with them. Flying in the rain after dark shows the spirit of fighting against darkness and facing difficulties.

The fireflies in Gao Jiang are so bright that he still wears curtains to order clothes at night. But when you see it, you will be more interesting. Don't be too modest.

The moon dares to wander among the stars, but it can fly in the rain at dark. Today, I know I will go, and when I drift, I will come back.
