The ancient Chinese poems include:
1. "Out of the Fortress"
Tang Dynasty. Wang Changling
The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty was at the Pass of the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned.
But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountain.
Translation: It is still the bright moon and border gates of the Qin and Han Dynasties. They defended the border and fought fiercely against the enemy for thousands of miles and the people who were recruited were not returned. If Li Guang, the flying general of Dragon City, was still here, the Xiongnu would never be allowed to go south to herd horses across the Yin Mountains.
2. "Weiyou"
Tang Dynasty. Li Shangyin
Because of the infinite beauty of the cloud screen, Fengcheng is even afraid of the spring night.
Married to a golden son-in-law for no reason, but failed to live up to the promise of early courtship.
Translation: The beauty behind the mica screen is particularly delicate. The cold winter in the capital has passed, but the spring night is short. She married an official husband for no reason. She didn't covet the warmth and fragrant quilt, she just wanted to go to the morning court.
3. "Spring Hope"
Tang Dynasty. Du Fu
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep vegetation in spring.
I am moved to tears by the flowers in my heart, and I am frightened by the hatred of other birds.
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: Chang'an fell, the country was shattered, and only the mountains and rivers remained; spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang'an city is lush with vegetation. Feeling sentimental about state affairs, I can't help but burst into tears, and the chirping of birds frightens my heart, which only adds to the sorrow and hatred of separation. The continuous war has continued until now. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in sadness, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I couldn't even insert the hairpin.
4. "The Year of Li Gui in the South of the Yangtze River"
Tang Dynasty. Du Fu
It is common in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang heard it several times.
It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and we meet you again when the flowers are falling.
Translation: Back then, I often saw your performances at King Qi’s residence; I also appreciated your art many times in front of Cui Jiutang. I didn't expect that in this beautiful Jiangnan, during the season of falling flowers, I would meet an old acquaintance like you by chance.
5. "Jiangnan Spring"
Tang Dynasty. Du Mu
Thousands of miles away, the oriole crows, the green reflects the red, the water village, the mountain and the wine flag wind.
There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and many towers are in the mist.
Translation: Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, there are singing orioles and dancing birds everywhere, pink willows and red willows, a scene full of spring. In the villages near the water and the city walls on the mountains, there are wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere. In the past, the Southern Dynasties were full of deep temples filled with smoke, but now these pavilions and pavilions stand in the hazy mist and rain.
