The poems expressing the friendship between friends are as follows:
1. "A Guest Arrives"
Author: Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty.
There is spring water in the south and north of the house, but I can see a flock of gulls coming every day. The flower path has never been swept by visitors, and now the gate is opened for you.
Panxiang City has far less flavor, and the bottle and wine shops are poor and only have old fermented grains. He is willing to drink with his neighbor, calling across the fence to finish the rest of the cup.
Interpretation: The green water in the north and south of the thatched cottage is surrounded by spring, and only flocks of gulls can be seen flying in groups every day. The courtyard path full of flowers and plants has never been cleaned to welcome guests. It is just for your arrival that the grass gate of my house is opened for the first time. Being too far from the market, there was no good food on the plate, and the family was poor and only had old wine to entertain them every other year. If you are willing to have a toast with the old man next door, I will call him over through the fence.
2. "The Year of Li Gui in the South of the Yangtze River"
Author: Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty.
It is common in King Qi’s house, and Cui Jiutang heard it several times in front of him.
It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and you will see it again when the flowers are falling.
Interpretation: 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.
3. "Reply to Lu Li"
Author: Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty.
Pine leaves can be used as wine. How much can you make in spring?
The mountain road is far away, and even walking in the snow can pass it.
Interpretation: The fragrant pine leaves can be used to brew sweet wine. Spring has arrived. I wonder how much of this wine you have brewed? Although the mountain road is rugged and far away, I will not refuse your warm invitation; even if there is heavy snow, I still have to go there to visit you, not to mention that it is already spring and the ice and snow have melted.
4. "Farewell Xue Hua"
Author: Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty.
There are many poor roads to send, let alone asking for help. A thousand miles of desolation, a hundred years of desolation.
My thoughts are wandering, and my life is extremely hard. No matter where you go or where you live, you will always be a dreamer.
Interpretation: I saw how many lonely and difficult roads there were ahead of me. I walked alone and asked for directions along the way. How uneasy I felt. In this long journey of thousands of miles, I have only a sad and frustrated heart to keep me company, which will simply drag down my frail body that has only lived for a hundred years.
You and I are drifting in mood, and our lives are equally bitter and miserable. Whether it is the person who left or the person who stayed, each other will appear in each other's dreams.
