Su Shi in Song Dynasty
Ten years of life and death are two boundless, disapproving and unforgettable.
A lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about.
Even if we don't know each other, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty.
At night, I suddenly dreamed of going home, and the window of Xiao Xuan was being decorated.
Care for each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears
It is estimated that the annual heartbroken place, moonlit night, short matsuoka.
Translation:
It's been ten years since I said goodbye to you, but it's still hard to forget each other after all. Thousands of miles away, that lonely grave has nowhere to pour out its sadness to you. Even if the husband and wife met, you wouldn't recognize me. I am covered in dust and my temples are like frost.
Last night, I dreamed of going back to my hometown, and you were dressing in front of the cabin window. You and I are silent and sad, only tears flow thousands of lines. It is expected that the place where I missed her in the past was on the short Songshan Mountain on a bright moon night.
2. "The fourth self-reflection of five poems"
Yuan Zhen in Tang Dynasty
Once I tasted the vast sea, I felt that the water in other places was pale; Once you have experienced the clouds in Wushan, you feel that the clouds elsewhere are eclipsed.
Hurried through the flowers, lazy to look back; This reason is partly because of the ascetic monk, and partly because of who you used to be.
Once I have seen the vast sea, I feel that the water elsewhere is dwarfed; Once I experienced the clouds in Wushan, I felt that the clouds in other places were eclipsed. Even among the flowers, I am too lazy to look back. Maybe it's because of the monastery, maybe it's because of you.
3. "Jinse"
Li Shangyin in Tang Dynasty
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
Translation:
Why do exquisite musical instruments have fifty strings, each of which reminds me of my youth?
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu.
The moon, the sea and Jiao Ren shed tears, and the jade in Lantian can only turn into smoke when it is warm.
Why do you want to recall this scene at this time, just because my heart was just at a loss at that time.
4. Nanxiangzi Inscription for the Dead Woman
Nalan Xingde in Qing Dynasty
Tears are silent tears, but they just regret the past and don't cherish your affection. If you want to come back to your party with your photos, your tears won't break your heart. You can't draw your face.
Don't be vague and wake up early in the middle of the night. You woke up early, I was still dreaming, crying as deep as the wind, and the sound of the wind continued until dawn.
Translation:
Tears flowed twice, but I shed tears silently, only regretting that I didn't cherish your efforts before. I want to be with you again with Dan Qing. My eyes are blurred and my heart is broken, so I can't draw your face.
The parting words are still clear in my ears, and Qi Fei's good dream was awakened in the middle of the night for no reason. You have been awake for a long time, but I am still dreaming, crying deeply and painfully, and the wind chimes will be until dawn.
5. Mourning poems
Shen Yue in the Southern and Northern Dynasties
I went to autumn in March and May, and I still shine in this autumn.
Today, Chunlan Cao Hui. I'll throw up in the spring.
Sadly, human nature is different. Once you are grateful, you will die forever.
Because the curtain screen was destroyed, the curtain mat was more open.
Dust covers an empty seat, while solitary account covers an empty bed.
Everything is endless, and it hurts the survivors.
Translation:
Last autumn, the fifteenth moon, this autumn, according to the carved beam;
The bluegrass in this spring will spit out a fragrance next spring.
Sadly, the laws of human life are different, unlike there is no last connection on the moon, nor is it like flowers reopening.
Once life dies, life will die forever.
After death, the curtain barrier used before death is used for sacrifice or removal.
New curtains took their place. Floating dust covers the empty seats, while solitary curtains cover the empty beds.
Although I know that everything has an end, it is a law that people die and things are empty, but it still makes the living feel sad.
