A poem about missing a distant wife

I. Guan Shanyue (Tang Dynasty, Li Bai)

A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds.

The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass.

At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai.

This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive.

The soldiers turned and looked at the border, thinking of home with longing eyes.

The soldier's wife looked at the tower and lamented when she would see her relatives far away.

Vernacular translation:

A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds.

The mighty long wind blew through Yumen Pass where Wan Li and the soldiers were stationed.

In those days, Han soldiers pointed to Deng Bai Mountain Road, and Tubo coveted a large area of rivers and mountains in Qinghai.

This is the place where military strategists fought in the past dynasties, and few survived.

Garrison soldiers looked at the border town from a distance, and they couldn't help looking sad when they missed their hometown.

At this time, the wives of the soldiers are in the tall building, sighing when they can see their relatives in the distance.

Second, "Enjoy the Happy Old Man" (Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty)

People who don't care about the old have compassion when they are old.

The body is thin and the frequency is reduced, and the hair is thin and the crown is self-biased.

Waste books cherish the eyes, and most of them are cooked with years.

Classics are still familiar things, and people are like reading Sichuan.

It's lucky to think about it carefully, but it will succeed next time.

Don't say Sang Yu is late, because it is still full of clouds.

Vernacular translation:

Who doesn't worry about being old, and who will show love to him when he is old?

As the figure becomes thinner, the belt will become tighter and tighter, and the hat with sparse hair will lean to one side.

The reason why the book is put aside is to care for the eyes, because moxibustion is often used in the elderly and infirm.

The more people who have experienced it, the more you can see it at a glance.

When you think about it, there is a good side to being old. If you overcome the worry about old age, you will feel carefree and carefree.

Don't say that it's nearly evening when the sun arrives in Sang Yu, and its afterglow can still shine all over the sky.

Extended data:

"Guan Shanyue" describes the mutual thoughts of frontier soldiers who are far away from home and their wives, and profoundly reflects the pain brought by the war to the general public. The whole poem is divided into three layers. The first four sentences mainly describe the vast frontier picture composed of three factors: Guan, Shan and Yue, and express the homesickness of the people who participated in the war. The middle four sentences specifically describe the war scenes, and the battlefield is fierce and cruel; The last four sentences are written to ask people to look at the edge of the land and miss their hometown, and then infer that their wives sigh at the tall buildings in the moonlight.

This poem is like a frontier scroll, which consists of three parts: the bright moon in the mountains, the sadness of the battlefield and homesickness for the guests. It runs through the whole poem with resentment, uniform color, seamless, vigorous and natural style.

The author of "Rewarding Lotte for the Aged" believes that although some people are thin, weak in vision and sick, they also have the advantages of rich experience, knowing how to cherish time and being self-motivated. If we think about this point seriously and comprehensively, we can establish a correct view of the elderly, get rid of the emotion of lamenting the elderly and make a difference.

The whole poem expresses Liu Yuxi's sober and optimistic understanding of life and death, which shows that he can treat life positively with a materialistic attitude under any circumstances. The phrase "Sang Yu is late, but it is still full of sunshine" is deeply appreciated by people and has become a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages.
