I wanted to watch peaches and plums drinking in the spring breeze, but now I haven't seen them for ten years, and the rivers and lakes are down and out, and I often listen to the autumn rain in front of a lonely lamp.
Life is changeable, ups and downs.
So "there is rain at night when there is spring breeze" means that there are joys, sorrows, bitterness and sweetness in life.
Send yellow a few times.
Author Huang tingjian? Song dynasty
I live in Junnanhai, Beihai, and I can't send geese to deliver books.
Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, ten years of night rain.
Governing a family has four walls, and governing a country is not a matter of three fold.
I think my reading head is white, and the ape across the stream is crying and smoking.
translate
I live on the northern seashore and you live on the southern seashore. I want to send a book to Hongyan, but it can't fly to Hengyang.
Spring breeze watching peaches and plums drink wine, rivers and lakes are down and out. I have been away for ten years, and I often miss you in the autumn rain.
You only have four empty walls to support your livelihood, so hard. The ancients made a good doctor by folding their elbows three times. I hope you don't.
I think you are poor, self-sufficient and study hard, and now your hair is white. Through the miasma-filled mountain stream, the apes wailed and climbed the ivy deep in the forest.
