1. Early Winter
Author Bai Juyi? Tang Dynasty
The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is good in October, and the poor winter scenery is like spring. The light frost has not killed the luxuriant grass, and the warm sun has begun to dry up the desert sand.
The leaves of the old zhejie are as yellow as those of young trees, and the branches of cold cherry blossoms are as white as wild flowers. At this time, the idle people were drunk, and the five horses had no way to enter the restaurant.
Translation
The weather in October in Jiangnan is very good, and the scenery in winter is as lovely as spring. The frost has not frozen the grass to death, and the sun has dried the earth. Although the leaves of the old zhe tree have turned yellow, they still look like new ones. The cold cherry trees bloom out of white flowers regardless of the time of day. At this time, I only envied the leisure of the drinkers, and walked into the restaurant unknowingly.
Second, Winter and October
The author is Cao Cao? Dynasty Wei and Jin Dynasty
In the tenth month of winter, the north wind lingers, the weather is clear, and there is frost and rain.
The rooster crows in the morning, the wild geese fly south, the grebes hide, and the bears roost in caves.
The money is parked, and the farmers are harvested. The reverse brigade was set up to connect merchants.
Fortunately! Sing to express your ambition.
Translation
In early winter and October, the north wind was blowing, the atmosphere was chilly, the weather was cold, and the frost was thick and dense. The roosters are chirping in the early morning, the geese are heading south, the birds of prey are hiding, and even the bears are sleeping in their caves.
The farmers have put down their farm tools and no longer work. The harvested crops are piled up in the grain fields, and the hotels are being arranged to accommodate the traveling merchants. How lucky I am to be here, reciting poetry to express my feelings.
3. Joining the Army
The author is Lu Sidao? Sui Dynasty
The beacon fire in Shuofang shines on the sweet spring, and the Chang'an flying generals leave Qilian. The son of Xiqu Jade Sword Gen's family, a young man with a white horse and a golden guard. In the bright moon, I am stationed in the right place, and in the evening, Yuli chases the left Xian. In the valley, a stone tiger holds an arrow, and on the mountain, a golden man once offered sacrifices to heaven.
The end of the world is endless, and this door is three thousand miles away. In the morning, you can see the yellow sand and yellow sands of Maling. In the evening, you can see the clouds rising in the formation of Dragon City. The strange trees in the courtyard are already worth climbing, but the soldiers outside the fortress have not yet returned. The white clouds have just begun to descend outside the Tianshan Mountains, and the floating clouds are heading straight towards Wuyuan.
The mountain is insurmountable for thousands of miles, who can sit facing Fang Feiyue. Running water breaks people's intestines on its own, but hard ice hurts horse bones. The side courtyard is full of different objects and flowers, and the frost in winter and autumn never stops. The long wind blows across the water, and the returning geese reflect in the sky one after another. After joining the army, the army marched thousands of miles and came out of Longting. Now Shan Yu has worshiped at Wei Bridge. Where can the general find fame?
Translation?
The flames of war in the northern frontier have shone on Ganquan Mountain, the former home of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The air generals and soldiers like Li Guang left Chang'an and then left the Qilian Mountain Pass. The soldiers holding rhinoceros skin shields and ice jade swords are all conscripted sons of good families, and those riding white horses and holding golden reins are all chivalrous young men. From early morning, they set up the "Yan Yue" formation at the frontier fortress, and when night approached, they used the "Fish Li" formation to defeat the officials of Zuo Xian who drove away the Huns.
In the valleys of the past battles, there are stories such as Li Guang's infinite power when he used a stone as a tiger arrow to hit the stone. On the mountains, there is a story about the Han general Huo Qubing who disarmed the enemy's sacrifice tools after defeating the enemy. Beautiful biography. The war was as endless as the end of the world, and the battlefield was three thousand miles away from Jimen (today's north of Beijing). What I saw in the morning was the rolling yellow sand at Maling Pass, and what I saw in the evening was the clouds of military formations at the King's Court of the Huns.
(Before the expedition left) The beautiful trees planted in the courtyard have grown to the size of people, but the relatives who fought outside the Great Wall have not yet returned. My heart follows my husband as far away as the Tianshan Mountains in central Xinjiang, and like floating clouds as far as Wuyuan City in western Inner Mongolia. And the mountains and passes thousands of miles away are impassable. How can we cope with the clear moonlight alone under the fragrance of flowers?
The time after separation flies by like running water and makes people feel heartbroken. The hard battle and cold outside the Great Wall have repeatedly injured the bones of the war horses. The solar terms and phenology outside the Great Wall are very different from those in the mainland. Winter and autumn are long and spring is short. The ever-changing breeze can still accompany the river crossing, and the geese returning south can also continue to pass towards the horizon according to time. Joining the army and marching, where can the general make achievements?
Think about the fact that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in Weiqiao met with the Xiongnu Chanyu and made peace with the Xiongnu Chanyu and stopped fighting (this happened in 51 BC). Where else would the generals who wanted to fight but could not go to fight to win glory?
4. Crossing the Han River
Author Song Zhiwen? Dynasty Tang Dynasty
Lingwai Yin Shu ends, after winter comes back to spring.
I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown and dare not ask anyone.
Translation
Exiled to Lingnan, cut off contact with his relatives, survived the winter and experienced a new year. The closer I got to my hometown, the more timid I became, and I didn't dare to ask about the people who came from home.
V. Xiaozhi
Author Du Fu? Dynasty Tang Dynasty
The weather, people, and the sun are urging each other, and the winter solstice is full of sunshine and spring is coming again. The five lines of embroidery add weak lines, and the blowing of Jia and Liuguan moves the floating ash.
The shore is waiting for the wax generals to relax the willows, and the mountains are cold and want to bloom the plum blossoms. The clouds and things are not different from each other, and the country is different. The children are taught to hold the cup in their palms.
Translation?
The weather and human affairs change rapidly every day. In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice is here again. After the winter solstice, the days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and spring is about to return. As the days get longer, the embroidery workers can embroider more colorful silk threads, and the six rhythms of the blowpipe have already moved the jiahui.
The embankment seems to be waiting for the twelfth lunar month to pass quickly so that the willow trees will stretch out their branches and sprout new buds, and the mountains will break through the cold so that the plum blossoms can bloom.
Although I am in a foreign land, the scenery here is no different from that in my hometown. Therefore, let me pour the wine and drink it all in one gulp.
