A famous poem by a courtier, Yelu Chucai, is Ten Chants in the River of the Western Regions.
First, the original text of the poem group
One
The lonely river is in the middle of the house, connecting Liao and Wan Jia.
grapes make wine, while olive sees flowers.
eat the chicken tongue and share the horsehead melon.
life is only about the mouth, so why not cross the quicksand?
second,
the lonely river is in the middle of the house, and the river is close to the grass.
pour a bottle of wine and throw a net to get new fish.
there are guest-guest sentences, but no one reads alone.
if Tianya gets this joy, what if it dies?
the third
lonely river in the middle of the house, a remote corner.
Grape hangs horse's milk, and olive can be crispy.
no lessons are lost in brewing spring, and no rent is paid for farming.
if you travel thousands of miles to the west, who is a good map?
The fourth
Lonely river leads to frequent disasters.
avoid soldiers, open deep holes, and build a high platform waterproof.
there is often no rain in June, but there is thunder in three winters.
I can't help smiling when I think about Zen Bo.
the fifth
lonely river in the middle of the house, collapsed walls around the old city.
in the endless garden, flowers and trees are unknown.
fishing alone in the south bank and introspection in the west.
if you are content, you can't live in peace.
the sixth
lonely river is in the middle of the house, and the green water flows in the west.
the old wheat is washed and the new japonica rice is hung.
the flowers wither in spring and the grass grows again in winter.
you can talk about your death, but you don't want to return home.
the seventh
lonely river in the middle of the house, happy and self-seeking.
hemp notes are used for writing, and reed pens are also used for singing.
Learn to drill flute on the umbrella handle, and learn to play the piano at the palace gate.
when the breeze strikes, you will live up to your old heart.
the eighth
lonely river is in the middle of the house, and it is accidental to come to the west.
forget the old leap every spring and come out with the new year.
it's hard to wear blind money if you make a strong plan.
there is no definite basis for similarities and differences, and the pitch follows the fate.
The ninth
Lonely House in the River is famous in the past.
the city god is connected with an acre, and the streets are half-hilly.
meals are sold by the pound, and gold and silver are divided into wheat.
after people's grievances come, please pay tribute to my king.
the tenth
lonely river in the middle of the house, the adherents of self-sufficient food.
yellow orange is fried with honey, and white cake is frosted.
shuhan river is rain, and there is no clothing ridge to breed sheep.
when I came here from the west, I didn't remember my hometown.
