1. Two Poems by Li Bai
Will enter the wine
If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return. Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening. If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. It is my nature that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, but don’t stop drinking. I sing a song with you, please listen to it for me. Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will stay drunk and not wake up. In ancient times, all the sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names. In the old days, King Chen had great banquets, drinking and joking. What does the master mean if he has less money? It is up to you to sell it. The five-flowered horse and the golden fur will be exchanged for fine wine, and I will sell the eternal sorrow with you.
The road to Shu is difficult
It’s so dangerous to play with your mouth! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. There are thickets of silkworms and fishtails, how confused the founding of the country is. You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai. There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei. The earth collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the ladders and stone stacks were connected to each other. There is a high mark of six dragons returning to the sun on the top, and a rushing wave and turning back to Sichuan below. The yellow crane cannot fly past, and the ape clings to it to overcome its sorrow. There is a lot of green mud, and there are nine twists and turns in the rocky mountains with a hundred steps. Mon went to the Lijing Well and raised his head and breathed, and he sat with his hands on his back and sighed. I asked you when you would return from your journey to the west. I was afraid that the journey would be steep and unreachable. But I saw mourning birds calling old trees, and male and female flying around the forest. I also heard Zigui crying about the moon at night and worrying about the empty mountains. The difficulty of the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, which makes people wither their beauty. Even if the peaks are gone, the sky is not full, and withered pines hang upside down against the cliffs. The turbulent waterfalls are noisy, and the cliffs are turned into rocks and thousands of valleys are thundered. If the danger is like this, people who have traveled far away will come here for nothing! The sword pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei. One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it. Those who were guarding or robbing relatives turned into wolves and jackals. Avoiding tigers in the morning and snakes at night, grinding teeth and sucking blood, killing people like numbness. Although Jincheng is happy, it is better to return home early. The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky. I turn to the west and look to the west to sigh!
2. Two poems by Du Fu
Song of Thatched House Broken by Autumn Wind
The high autumn wind howls in August and rolls up the triple thatch on my house. The grass flies across the river and spreads across the outskirts of the river. The taller ones hang on the treetops, while the lower ones float around the sunken pond. A group of children in the south village bullied me into being old and weak, and I was a thief who could not stand it. He hugged the grass into the bamboo, his lips were burnt and his mouth was so dry that he couldn't breathe. After returning home, I leaned on my staff and sighed. The wind in Russia makes the clouds dark, and the autumn desert turns dark. The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and the arrogant children are lying in bed and are torn apart. There is no drying place for the leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like hemp on the feet and has not been stopped. Since my period is disordered and I don’t sleep much, how can I get wet all night long? There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter the poor people all over the world and make them happy. They are as safe as a mountain even in the wind and rain! Alas! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death!
Climbing high
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand of Zhugong. The endless falling trees rustled, and the endless Yangtze River rolled in. Wanli is always a guest in the sad autumn, but he has been sick for a hundred years and only appears on the stage. Difficulty and bitterness hate the frost on the temples, and the wine glass is stained by the new stop.
3. Zhang Ruoxu, Spring River Flower Moonlight Night
The spring river tide is even to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is full of tides. The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but where is the spring river without the moonlight? The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests like snowflakes. Frost is flying in the sky unknowingly, and the white sand on the pavilion cannot be seen. The river and the sky were completely dustless, and there was only a solitary moon in the bright sky. Who by the river saw the moon for the first time? When did Jiang Yue shine on people? Life is endless from generation to generation, but the river and the moon are only similar year after year. I don’t know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River sending water. The white clouds are slowly disappearing, and the green maple pond is full of sorrow. Whose family is cheating tonight? Where do I miss Mingyue Tower? The poor moon wanders upstairs and should be seen in the dressing mirror. The jade door curtain cannot be rolled away, and it comes back when the clothes are smashed and brushed on the anvil. At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other. I hope that the moonlight will shine on you. The swans fly long and fast, and the fishes and dragons dive and jump into the water. Last night, I dreamed of falling flowers in the pond, but it was a pity that I didn’t return home in the middle of spring. The spring water in the river is gone, and the moon has set in the west again. The slanting moon hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi and Xiaoxiang roads are endless. I don’t know how many people are returning by the moon. The falling moon shakes the trees all over the river with love.

Yang Jiong's "Military March"
The beacon light shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy. Yazhang bid farewell to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled Dragon City. The flags and paintings are hidden in the snow, and the wind is full of sounds of drums. It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.
Wangwan "At the foot of Cibeigu Mountain"
The guest travels outside the green mountains and boats in front of the green water. The tide is flat, the banks are wide, the wind is blowing and the sail is hanging. Hai Ri is born and the night is over, and Jiang Chun is entering the old year. Where can I get the hometown letter? Return to Yanluoyang.
Two poems by Meng Haoran: "Passing Through the Village of My Old Friend" and "Climbing Xian Mountain with the Scholars"
My old friend brought chickens and millet and invited me to Tian's house. The green trees border the village, and the green mountains and hills slope outside. Open a pavilion to enjoy the scene, drink and talk about mulberry and hemp. When the Double Ninth Festival comes, there will be chrysanthemums. People and affairs undergo metabolism, and exchanges become ancient and modern. The mountains and rivers have left traces of their beauty, and we will come again in this generation. The fish beam is shallow when the water falls, and the dream is deep when the weather is cold. The Yanggong Monument is still there, and I shed tears after reading it. Wang Wei's three poems: "Envoy to the Fortress", "Wangchuan Idle Life and Gift to Pei Xiucaidi" and "Hanjiang Linfan" - 16 Bicycles want to ask about the side, but they belong to the country and live in Yan. Zheng Peng left Hansai, returned to Yan and entered Hutian. The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the sun is setting over the long river. When Xiao Guan is waiting to ride, he will always protect Yan Ran. The cold mountains turn green and the autumn water flows. Leaning on a stick outside the firewood door, I listen to the evening cicadas in the wind. The sun is still setting over the ferry, and the lonely smoke is rising in the ruins. After returning home, I was drunk and singing wildly in front of the five willow trees.
Chusai and Sanxiang are connected, and the nine factions of Jingmen are connected. The river flows beyond the sky and the earth, and the mountains are beautiful. In the county town of Bucheonpo, waves are moving in the sky. It's a nice windy day in Xiangyang, and I'm left drunk with the mountain man.
